Do you think that we should elect leaders in this way? This is some history of how the Muslims elected people to run the land. Do you like this?
"Offices in the Islamic states were given to those who were best qualified, regardless of their beliefs or backgrounds. For example, Ibn Athal, a Christian physician, was the private doctor of the caliph Muawya, the founder of the Umayyad state. Another Umayyad caliph, Abdul-Malik Ibn Marwan, appointed two Christians, Athnasius and Isaac, to top positions in the state of Egypt. Adud Al-Dawla, an Abbassid caliph, made Nasr Ibn Haroun, a Christian, his prime-minister, giving him authority to rule over Iraq and southern Persia."

I believe in researching who I vote for, and I want to know about the candidate's political record far more than I want to know about their religion. I'm religious myself, but would gladly vote for an atheist if I thought that he or she were the best candidate for the job. I have no problems voting outside of my own faith.

Electing candidates to office based on their qualifications and their knowledge as opposed to their religious beliefs...what a novel idea.
Maybe we wouldn't have the nutjob in the White House that we do now, had we voted that way.
