Will America ever have a Muslim President?

Answer 1

America can have President of any origin provided he has charismatic character and if he is a dynamic candidate.

Muslim President ? Very difficult and highly unlikely but not impossible.

Answer 2

To be honest, unless the Islamophobia running rampant in America is dealt with, this is highly unlikely. However, it is possible, anything is possible so they say. I think a complete regime change would be necessary to bring about such an eventuality.

It would be difficult for a Muslim to rule simply due to some of the extreme differences between Islamic and Occidental approaches to religion, law and various other matters. A Muslim who might come to terms with these things, could as easily be assassinated for being a bad Muslim by extremists either Christian or Islamic. It is not impossible, but there are so many things to consider.

If the installation of a Muslim president furthered the agenda of the shadowy men who pull the strings of government and control puppet presidents and kings, you can be sure it is a possibility. That is information we common folk do not have access to.

You need to have a decent woman as president, a woman not tinged with scandal and connected at the hip to the previous administrations run by Bill and her business buddies the Bushes. May I note that it is amusing that we Westerners are quick to condemn Muslims for their treatment of women, while in the Muslim world there have already been several international leaders. One may point out Ms.Rice but she is still basically no more than a rich high paid gopher for Bush.

You have had numerous wonderful black politicians. None of them have come even close to the Presidency! It will be a long time coming for a Muslim at this crawling rate.

But... nothing is impossible...just highly unlikely.

Answer 3

Don't be surprised ! It can happen ! If the Muslims have their way they will find their way into every position of authority world wide.
What scares me more is that the president who isn't Muslim is being manipulated by Muslims.
Oh ! hang on ! Doesn't Bush have business interests with the Bin Ladens'?
Maybe America already has a Muslim President.

Answer 4

Not for the foreseeable future. It's kind of like Thomas Dewey who ran for president in 1948 against Harry Truman. They said he lost a lot of votes because he "had a Hitler moustache". Americans vote for image, at times, over substance. (Case in point, election of 2000 & 2004). A Muslim would be perceived as a threat to security, more so if that person was a Democrat, even if the candidate had never caused any problems before. Again, image means quite a bit in elections.

Answer 5

No! Being Muslim is a lifestyle. In any religion a person can pray when they want. Where as Muslims have to pray Five times a day. They have to pray facing Mecca. Etc. During an important meeting with the head of another country excuse me I need to pray. Just is not going to work. When Important meeting can last for hours and hours.

Most other religions are Incorporated into a person life style, Muslim is a lifestyle.

Answer 6

inshallah God Willing

Americans tend to think of their country as, at the very least, a nominally Christian nation. Didn't the Pilgrims come here for freedom to practice their Christian religion? Don't Christian values of righteousness under God, and freedom, reinforce America's democratic, capitalist ideals?

True enough. But there's a new religion on the block now, one that fits the current zeitgeist nicely. It's Islam.
Islam is the third-largest and fastest growing religious community in the United States. This is not just because of immigration. More than 50% of America's six million Muslims were born here. Statistics like these imply some basic agreement between core American values and the beliefs that Muslims hold. Americans who make the effort to look beyond popular stereotypes to learn the truth of Islam are surprised to find themselves on familiar ground.

Is America a Muslim nation? Here are seven reasons the answer may be yes.

Islam is monotheistic. Muslims worship the same God as Jews and Christians. They also revere the same prophets as Judaism and Christianity, from Abraham, the first monotheist, to Moses, the law giver and messenger of God, to Jesus--not leaving out Noah, Job, or Isaiah along the way. The concept of a Judeo-Christian tradition only came to the fore in the 1940s in America. Now, as a nation, we may be transcending it, turning to a more inclusive "Abrahamic" view.

In January, President Bush grouped mosques with churches and synagogues in his inaugural address. A few days later, when he posed for photographers at a meeting of several dozen religious figures, the Shi'ite imam Muhammad Qazwini, of Orange County, Calif., stood directly behind Bush's chair like a presiding angel, dressed in the robes and turban of his south Iraqi youth.

Islam is democratic in spirit. Islam advocates the right to vote and educate yourself and pursue a profession. The Qur'an, on which Islamic law is based, enjoins Muslims to govern themselves by discussion and consensus. In mosques, there is no particular priestly hierarchy. With Islam, each individual is responsible for the condition of her or his own soul. Everyone stands equal before God.

Americans, who mostly associate Islamic government with a handful of tyrants, may find this independent spirit surprising, supposing that Muslims are somehow predisposed to passive submission. Nothing could be further from the truth. The dictators reigning today in the Middle East are not the result of Islamic principles. They are more a result of global economics and the aftermath of European colonialism. Meanwhile, like everyone else, average Muslims the world over want a larger say in what goes on in the countries where they live. Those in America may actually succeed in it. In this way, America is closer in spirit to Islam than many Arab countries.

Answer 7

I hope not. And it is not a racist matter. Something in life that you disagree with are not racist. It has to do with the fact Muslims put the rule of their religion above everything else even the rule of law. In a democracy the rule of law must come first. I have no trouble with their having a voice, vote, or even being president if they can do that. They cannot and remain faithful Muslims.

Answer 8

Eventually

Answer 9

This would change the whole 'personality' of America so I hope it doesn't happen. In spite of all the naysayers, the U.S. was established on Christian-Judea principles. It is evident in our entire history. America as a nation is disintegrating. Perhaps this is why God destroyed the Tower of Babel.

Answer 10

No! but in 2008 America may have a female President that loves muslims. Scary.
