What is wrong with having a Muslim as president?

Well? Do you see any difference between the religions in terms of their double-dippage for use as political ideologies? I don't.

I think there is a fringe percentage that would like a Christian theocracy but for the most part I don’t think Americans even the ones that are relatively religious (say republicans 50 % of the population) are looking for a fundamental change in the country whereas I see a Muslim/Islamic dominated country being more interested in crossing the separation of church and state.

Thank you for proving my point. There is nothing hardwired in, or out, of either religion, which prevents their use as a rallying cry for political power. I don't know how either of you got "the U.S. and the Middle East share identical political systems" out of my statement.

The notion that the Republican Party is going to create a Christian theocracy is laughable at best.

So what? They pander to the myth that they will. And that brings them in voters.
