What is wrong with having a Muslim as president?

No. Background means they grew up in a particular type of household. That's different than an ideology someone clings to today.

How the hell is Islam an "ideology" anymore than Christianity is?

I guess it needs reminding that we have a President who says God told him to start these wars, and a running VP candidate who says Iraq is a mission from God.

What would you guys be saying if these were Muslim Americans saying similar things?

RVG - I fail to see how an outside observer, watching U.S. politics, especially on the Republican side, would agree with you that Christianity has "renounced" violence anymore than Islam has, in light of how extra super duper Christian Bush, Palin and the rest profess to be the 50% of the time they're not talking about war and Muslim extremists and terrorism.
