What is wrong with having a Muslim as president?

[Jolt]

Yes, violent and oppressive stuff can be found in the holy texts of all major religions. The difference is that in this day and age most Christian societies ignore the oppression and violence, while most Muslim societies follow it. Religion is only as good as its followers.

A correct statement. However, the USA isn't a muslim society. Therefore that sentence is irrelevant.

Would like to point out something else, the bible is a collection of events and not written in a imperative nature. Christianty -> god was with us Islam ->do this. The nature of islam is wildly different from other world religions, it needs no justifications for what it has done, but only for what it has to do.

I am willing to bet my entires savings on how you have never ever, ever even read three pages of Quran. Just for the record, it is stupid to talk about something you have never read, and give your opinion as if you knew how it was written. You see, the opinion you just voiced about how the Quran is written is exactly what the terrorrists say. And I can tell you that since old times, the CHURCH also said that the Bible only had ONE INTERPRETATION. Just "do this". And what do you call the Ten Mandaments? The Ten BASIC Mandaments? Aren't they mandatory? Aren't they your "do this" type?

Maybe you're right about the Koran but you're just as bad with the Bible, since the foundation of Christianity allegorical interpretation has been at the centre of Biblical scholarship, almost all the modern tools of literary criticism were invented , or rediscovered, to disect the Bible. The "single" interpretation is a facet of the Reformation and Biblical litteralism is even more recent.

In that sense modern Evangelical christianity is younger than the current mainstream strands of Islam.
