Examines the foreign policy interests of groups that represent Canadian Muslims who are becoming increasingly active in political circles. Data were obtained from an analysis of the press releases & subscriber e-mails of two leading Canadian Muslim groups -- the Canadian Islamic Congress (CIC) & the Council on American-Islamic Relations Canada (CAIR-CAN) -- for the period from 2000 to 2005. The results indicated that there was a greater emphasis on domestic issues than foreign policy. However, the foreign policy interests of both groups were similar & tended to focus on events or issues that involved Muslims. Considerable attention was given to terrorism & conflicts, especially in Iraq & Israel/the Palestinian territories. Both organizations seemed to be more influenced by international events than by Canadian foreign policy debates & ethnic composition appeared to have only a minimal impact on foreign policy views. Although the Muslim identity of CIC & CAIR-CAN contributes to defining their interests to some degree, their foreign policy interests are also shaped by other international, domestic, community, & organizational factors.

A period out of power has given conservatives and Republicans a golden opportunity to reassess their approach toward American foreign policy. Such periods in opposition are often fruitful for political parties, which can reformulate creative and winning ideas on issues of public policy. But there is nothing to say that they will necessarily do such reformulation. Success in political and conceptual rebuilding requires intellectual honesty regarding current strengths and weaknesses. Conservatives pride themselves on a clear-eyed view of political and policy realities. It is entirely fitting that this same clear-eyed view be turned on conservative foreign policy approaches.
