What is wrong with having a Muslim as president?

[Koga No Goshi]

The "violent" American society allows a person of any religious affiliation to get elected into the highest office of the land. Syrian/Pakistani/Iranian/you name it societies do not.

We're comparing western democracies to Middle Eastern dictatorships now and saying the only difference is religion?

You're stretching your argument to the most extreme breaking point, RVG.

P.S. People who never mention God on the campaign trail can be elected to the highest office in Canada and most of Europe. There is no evidence in modern times an American can do the same. Does that make us a religiously intolerant theocracy? Or would that be just a bit more exaggerative than your comparison? :)
