i know that a lot of members on tti aren't from the US, so you may not be up to date on our political affairs here. we are now in the campaign season for electing a new president in November '08. well, one of the candidates mitt romney is a mormon and many of the christian groups hate mormons and claim that they never could vote for a mormon. yet when people don't want to be a part of christian things, they cry discrimination. the evangelicals are really trying to run the country. every candidate has to pass a religious litmus test even if the non religious candidate is more qualified. they are no different in a lot of ways to the taliban which they claim to be oppresive.
this isn't a thread to bash evangelicals, but they are very intolerant. we in america are free from religious rulers. we need quality leaders not quality preachers. so after seeing all of their hatred and distrust for mormons. i wonder how they would react if a muslim ran for president. recently, they have been trying to smear barack obama, saying that he's a muslim; despite the fact that he confesses to be a christian. they're using islam or him being a muslim to scare the american people into not voting for him. i think it's disgraceful.
what are your ideas on a muslim president. i'm interested to hear your views.
