Muslims for McCain Reject Protesters
October 20, 2008

In a confrontation caught on video, three people outside a John McCain presidential rally in Woodbridge, Va., this past weekend handed out "Obama for Change" bumper stickers that featured the Communist hammer and sickle and the Islamic crescent on them.

One of the anti-Barack Obama protesters told McCain supporters that Islam teaches its followers to "deceive the infidels in order to progress Islam."

The man, who chose not to give his name, said Obama "is a socialist with Islamic background." When pushed to back up his claim, he said, "There's a lot of background ... I can't do that right now."

Several moderate McCain supporters, that included both Muslims and Christians, angrily denounced the group distributing the anti-Obama materials. A man who identified himself as a Muslim McCain delegate from the GOP convention even stepped in and said the campaign doesn't endorse this kind of message. Under pressure, the protesters eventually left the premises.
