While the senator has visited churches and synagogues, he has yet to appear at a single mosque. Muslim and Arab-American organizations have tried repeatedly to arrange meetings with Mr. Obama, but officials with those groups say their invitations — unlike those of their Jewish and Christian counterparts — have been ignored. Last week, two Muslim women wearing head scarves were barred by campaign volunteers from appearing behind Mr. Obama at a rally in Detroit.1

Later on in the same article, there are quotes from Muslims that say they keep their support for Obama quiet because they don't want their allegiance to be used to incite fear by his opponent. They also mention a joke that runs in their circles... that they should endorse 1the person they want to lose.
