We need some values and some SPINE back in the white house. It's totally different to recommend a religion/social structure that has zero to do with the founding of this country as my post stated. I just don't want to see a guy discredited because he's too religious, when his values and ideals might be what is needed, somebody that stands by his values and ideals.
Out of 44 presidents we had how many are there that did not practice some sort of Christianity (unless you don't count Catholicism)? None, so I guess my response would be that religious affiliation does not always have a bearing on their character.

While my statement is farfetched about Allah, makes you ponder the idea of church and state separation. If another religion gained the majority it would more then likely attempt to force that religions ideals on the population. Look at Europe where the mass exodus of immigrants is threatening their way of life and attempting to instill sharia law.

January 3 2007 and March 11 2008 Muslims were elected to congress. If we truly were at war with the religion then why is it freely practiced here?
