If you felt the person was qualified would you vote for Muslim president?

I know there is a similar poll here but I didnt like the silly twist about adding "if he came out the day before the election" in there

my question is, if you felt the person was qualified by your standards to be president and he was a Muslim would you vote for him, and if not why?

my answer is OF COURSE YES, because if I thought he was qualified his religion doesn't matter.
 
I answered No because American values and Muslim values are incompatible.

1.) you obviously dont understand the OP
2.) what you posted above is nothing more than your opinion :shrug:
3.) in a black/white world void or REALITY can you name ANY religion that has values that are compatible with AMERICAN values?

Sure I would. I vote for candidates all the time who I don't share a religion with.

Sure, I guess.

1.) David Watson did understand -- in their view being "qualified" means, in part, that the candidate in question is not a Muslim.
2.) You just described the lion's share of the traffic on this forum.
3.) Depends on how you define "American values," I guess.
 
No way....because the Koran, islams book, refers to America as the great satan, and Islam is a political religion Moreno than any other, you can't have one without the other... I could go on and on but that sums it up in a nutshell

Really? I didn't know America was featured in the Koran. Could you point to where?

I can only imagine the relief Muslims felt when America was founded and they were all like, "Ohhhhh, so that's what Muhammad was talking about!"

1.) then he is very uneducated about the subject at hand
2.) agreed but people need to understand this and identify their opinion
3.) disagree, there is no religion that "i" know of that that are compatible with american values, american values are documented in laws and the constitution and our freedoms, rights and liberties, i dont get to define them, but I could vote to redefine them a little

:lamo I love when people make things up

No argument from me.

2.) agreed but people need to understand this and identify their opinion

You asked for opinions. It's reasonable that opinions would follow.

3.) disagree, there is no religion that "i" know of that that are compatible with american values, american values are documented in laws and the constitution and our freedoms, rights and liberties, i dont get to define them, but I could vote to redefine them a little

No. American values have changed over the course of our history, right along side the American people. Values are static only if they are held as a constant by the people who hold them, and this has not been the case in the United States.

1.) didnt think you would ;)
2.) yes but again, if person push opinions as facts I will call them on it
3.) no disagree again thats why i put that part in there about voting, american values as pertaining to the OP would be the values of qualifying for president. Yes they may vary some and they may change but if you are against all the rights and freedoms we have and the constitution, well then you dont qualify ;)

You HAVE to be joking.

If not, then realize this - the Koran was written before America existed, thus unless the Muslims of that time had time travel...well.

Is this suppose to be a poll? If so where are the options?:confused:
 
All you people who think Muslims pose no threat to this country wake up amd look around....Look at all the other Muslim Nations that have Sharia Law. How many of them are really our friends?....You can count them on one hand and if we did not give them billions of dollars there would be even less. Even in countries like England and France where they have huge Muslim populations have problems......Like I said before Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. I believe right now we have 1 Muslim in Congress...That could change quickly. Please think about it.....It could happen.

The president and congress are not allowed to make laws based on religion, any religion. SO what you suggest would be impossible. Unless Congress and the Senate were invaded by radical Muslims (the majority are not radical Muslims) no problem would exist.

And no, it could not happen. That is just so paranoid and far out there. No reality at all.

PS Islam is not the fastest growing religion, Christianity still is. Muslims count births which often do not add up to another Muslim. More Muslims have converted to Christianity than the other way around as well.

According to a 2005 paper submitted to a meeting of the American Political Science Association, most of this growth has occurred in non-Western countries and concludes the Pentecostalism movement is the fastest growing religion worldwide. - Claims to be the fastest-growing religion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don't want to know a candidate's religious persuasion it should be irrelevant to his function in his secular role.

You are right. In fact, any of the misguided infidels who'd argue otherwise are really looking at things through their own chauvinistic goggles.

Consider this.

What we must understand is that Islam has its own vision of the world and man's place in it.

To say that Islam is incompatible with democracy should not be seen as a disparagement of Islam.

On the contrary, many Muslims would see it as a compliment because they sincerely believe that their idea of rule by God is superior to that of rule by men which is democracy.
