I’ve read all the comments about the power of AIPAC. To answer
@Dalit, it is totally legal. Their budget is made up of large numbers of Jewish contributors. There’s nothing stopping Muslims from doing the same thing, except that Muslims don’t contribute anywhere near what Jews do. There are several Muslim PACs, including CAIR, MPAC, Emgage etc. AIPAC spends up to $500 million, while all the Muslims PACs don’t even have $10 million between them.
Beyond AIPAC, Jews control the media, which can make or break any politician. They control the right wing media, like Fox, and the left wing media, like CNN, ABC etc. They also control banks, universities, Hollywood, music, pornography, drugs, social media etc.
It might take 100 years for Muslims to get where Jews are in America. However, there’s one advantage Muslims have that Jews don’t. It’s Islam. The best way forward for Muslims is to convince Americans to become Muslim. But that’s a long term strategy and not relevant to the current situation.
