We have Muslim citizens. Would you ever vote for a Muslim for President?

Answer 1

I would vote for any American that would provide the leadership necessary to run this country and close the gap of the extremes. I am a Full Time American and see no difference in Race, Gender, or Religious beliefs.

Answer 2

I wouldn't. No. I wouldn't vote for anyone whose core beliefs are against me in any way. Muslim beliefs don't accept my total and complete freedom, person hood/autonomy, rights as a legal adult citizen, rights not to be harrassed or touched or owned etc. My freedom of religion or to not have religion. They are against who I am, not just what I stand for politically. It would be a threat to have a Muslim president. They don't and aren't allowed to separate their religion from the rest of their life. Being secular is against their laws. No I wouldn't vote for a muslim and worry about them being citizens in a free country.

Answer 3

Religion is not like race, gender, sexual orientation and such things that are merely innate parts of people. Religion is a variety of clubs, some benevolent and some malevolent. Some ideologies create horrible actions in people, i.e. crusades, inquisitions, witch trials, the KKK and terrrorism. The two religions that appear most responsible for such things are Christianity and Islam. So, I would prefer to not have anybody from either of those religions become president. Traditions I would prefer are Buddhism, Unitarianism, Judaism, Quakerism and Deism. Throughout history, these religions have produced magnificent and compassionate human beings.

Answer 4

Of course it doesnt matter, American Muslims share the same exact feelings about this ocuntry than any patriots around, why wouldnt I vote for one? If he shared my political belief? Muslims Jews and Christians arent all that different, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, well they all share that same God, so why not? Id even vote for a budhist or a Hindu.

Answer 5

Muslim is a religion, correct?! Remember there was that thing drafted up a long time ago and it said something about the separation of church and state. What is the difference between a muslim candidate, a christian, or a mormon. don't you think intelligence and competence should be the contributing factors, not religion?! And just because some of the 9/11 hijackers were muslim doesn't mean all muslims want to destroy the U.S. Quit generalizing and stereotyping and look at whats important.

Answer 6

Ask me again in 20 years. So far the only Muslims I have seen in the news are either extremist radicals killing anyone they can, or a silent group afraid of their religious leaders and afore mentioned extremists. Which one would a Muslim President be?

Answer 7

Maybe ask our Muslims instead of asking me?
Most Muslims who emigrate to USA or UK are moderates escaping the extremists in their home lands. So they would probably vote against a candidate with a Muslim political agenda.

Answer 8

If a catastrophic event takes place and one of the Democratic candidates that is trying for the presidential party nomination manages to convince enough people, you will get the opportunity!!

Answer 9

If in every other way I believe he/she is the best person for the job I would not let anyone's religion be the deciding factor in deciding whether to vote for a candidate or not. The government jobs are SECULAR and not religion based and so I really don't care what one's religion, race, or gender is.

Answer 10

It would be against the wishes of the founding fathers to consider a candidates religion when voting.
