Most of those who vote are clueless and apt to jump on any band wagon that is currently poltically expedient or "popular".

The Muslims have an excellent political base and a lot of intimidation that goes a long way towards getting the sheep to go along. Of course, the "bad boy" image is popular nowadays, too. It looks favorable for the Muslims these days. Not that I like that, but one must be realistic about facing the future.
