I'd not be thrilled with a turban wearing president, but I think all perm-hats are weird. Otherwise, what's the objection?
I'd prefer a fedora.
My only issue would be bringing it up the day before the election
a large number of male muslims do not wear any head gear
That is definitely the case here. The only man I know personally, who wears head gear, is Sikh. I suspect Eco was just kidding around.
I wouldn't vote for any candidate that " announced publicly that he/she was converting to" any different religious belief or atheism just before an election. Oh, you wanted to know if I'd vote for a Muslim. I assume you mean a real Muslim. No again. Also, I'd have a very hard time voting for a member of the 'Good People of the East Valley' since I'm from Phoenix and not a member of that 'religion'.... Now let us suppose that this candidate just prior to election day, announced publicly that he/she was converting to Islam. Would you give this candidate your support? Please give your reasoning.
Allow me to begin by saying that Obama's presidency has nothing to do with this poll. I am in no way implying that President Obama is in anyway personally affiliated with the religion of Islam. I was inspired to create it after posting in a couple other threads which directly tied religious doctrine with support for various presidential candidates, So, here goes:
Let's use our imaginations here........Suppose there were a presidential candidate who was obviously the most experienced and the most qualified among the field of candidates. Also, let's suppose that this particular candidate espoused much or most of the political, economic, social, and moral ideals which were important to you as a voter. Now let us suppose that this candidate just prior to election day, announced publicly that he/she was converting to Islam. Would you give this candidate your support? Please give your reasoning.
*Note: Obviously this poll is directed at non-Muslim voters although anyone is welcome to participate. :shrug:
I agree with all of your post, but some sub groups of some religions, e.g. The Good People of the East Valley, are not creepy ass cults. They know they are special and favored in the eyes of God.Apparently a lot of people on the right would considering how much they keep bringing up Obama being a secret Muslim. These are the same people who then turn around and go "Well, but I wouldn't care if he was!" - Why the **** bring it up then? Same people who'll scream that Romney belonging to a creepy ass cult in Utah is not relevant.

Yes. But, I was wondering, do you know who specifically who the Good People of the East Valley, as they sometimes reefer to themselves when coding is needed, are? A hint is one of our governors uses the phrase.Well you just described Christianity, Islam and Judaism in a nutshell. A bunch of egotistical maniacs who think they have a divine commandment to do the ****ed up **** they do.
This is pretty much how I feel. I voted "depends", and I wouldn't shut the person out completely, but right now I would be apprehensive.To be completely honest, an announcement such as that might make me feel a little apprehensive, but I guess as long as he wasn't a fundamentalist and wasn't planning on following Sharia law and knew enough not to involve his/her personal religious beliefs with his politics, I would like to think I could vote for him or her regardless.
