From the Washington Post:

Sen. John McCain hasn't had good luck joking about Iran. But he tried it again Tuesday.

Responding to a question about a survey that shows increased exports to
Iran, mainly from cigarettes, McCain said, "Maybe thats a way of killing them."

He quickly caught himself, saying "I meant that as a joke" as his wife, Cindy, poked him in the back.

I have noticed that a number of ethnic and religious groups have no problem expresing thier views in a way that identifies who they are (i.e., writing Ed/Op pieces, wearing t-shirts that identify their political affiliation -- Jews for McCain, Catholics for McCain, Catholics for the Environment,etc.). But, Muslism are consistnetly in the shadows. The other day I was wearing a Muslims for Obama shirt that I made myself (since the Obama campaign doesn't sell them online) and was accosted, not by a non-Muslim but by a fellow Muslm.
