Barack Obama's Muslim outreach coordinator resigned after questions arose about his ties to various Islamic groups.
From the Wall Street Journal.
The Muslim-outreach coordinator to the presidential campaign of Barack Obama has resigned amid questions about his involvement in an Islamic investment fund and various Islamic groups.
Chicago lawyer Mazen Asbahi, who was appointed volunteer national coordinator for Muslim American affairs by the Obama campaign on July 26, stepped down Monday after an Internet newsletter wrote about his brief stint on the fund's board, which also included a fundamentalist imam.
Did he resign on his own or was he pushed out so as not to be a distraction to the campaign?
