Al Jazeera: What is it that you think makes - or should make - the Republican party attractive to American Muslims?

Saba Ahmed: The appeal to American Muslims is that Republicans have values - such as [being] pro-life, [in favour of] traditional marriage, business, trade, etc, that align with Islamic beliefs.

Democrats, [on the other hand], espouse liberal values which are incompatible with Islam. I couldn't support their pro-choice, pro-LGBT, pro-taxes approach.

[While] some [of the] social values [of the Democratic party] are good, mostly they promote same sex relations, which are completely forbidden in Islam. I have been extremely disappointed in the Obama administration policies [in this regard].
