    I agree, Sharia and Biblical law are not compatible with the constitution

    If the Constitution was not keeping with Christian laws and morals, then why was it signed almost exclusively by Christians?

    Because you always 100% believe everything a politician says, right?

    Another Democrat who has prayed with Obama so personally knows his religion. Tell us when that was, where and how many times.

    Obama said "the most beautiful sound" is the Islamic all to prayer. Not the Christian Lord's Prayer. Not the Declaration of Independence or Bill Of Rights. But the call to the Islamic prayer. That makes Obama a Muslim by his own statement.

    Another Con that thinks everyone that dares question their BS is a Democrat, it only shows your ignorance once again.

    I marked no, because your "most likely no..." option was loaded and bogus.

    I would potentially vote for a Muslim, but most likely I would not. But if I was sufficiently convinced that a given Muslim fully supported our institutional values and way of life, and that they supported my views (libertarian, which are extremely uncommon in Islam) then I would be willing to vote for them. I just, realistically, don't see that happening.

    I believe he is as much a Christian as the Presidents before him. Personally I do not care if he believes in any religion his focus should be the Nation.

    Yes, that's exactly what I said. (Insert eye roll emoticon)

    No, what I believe is that the perfect is the enemy of the good. If the Muslim candidate satisfied my test, and if he were otherwise the best candidate, I would be mindful of the constitution Art. VI, para. 3 and give him a chance, yes.

    As long as the person in question is 100% secular in terms of politics and doesn't mix their religion within the system then I don't see a big problem at all.

    Yes but he/she would have to be 100% secular.

    This is the same standard that I hold to Christian candidates.
    Keep your private religious views in the private sector and support secular standards for the public sector/life and legislation.

    You think he is as much of a Christian as Carter?

    Hmm, secular Muslim. I don't think such a thing can exist, unless you're just referring to a guy from a predominately Muslim nation, which would imply some sort racial connection to Islam.
