All cabinet appointments are subject to Congressional approval, when done with transparency. Do you have a problem with any POTUS choosing his/her own cabinet subject to to Congressional approval?

Islam is political in nature; do your homework. Cain objects to allowing Sharia to take a foothold in the US judiciary as it has in Europe. Therefore, Cain's opposition to such an appointment it is not based on religion but on political and judiciary grounds.

Just because you have an official who happens to be a Muslim does not mean that person believes in Sharia law or that it would take hold in the U.S. I know that is hard for bigots to comprehend.....

i have no problem with POTUS choosing his/her cabinet, but I do have a problem with excluding anyone based on religion, sex, or creed Etc. Keith Ellion is a u.s. rep who happens to be muslim and serving in congress since 2007 and practicing law since 1990 and never enforced sharia law on anyone. he does his job. DO YOUR HOMEWORK!! ISLAM IS A RELIGION JUST LIKE CATHOLIC, JEWS, PROTESTANTS, MORMONS ETC.

Well, when that religion requires sharia law take precedence over all other law, he has a right to take that into consideration.

This is a complete misunderstanding of Sharia. The term Sharia literally means “the path to a watering hole†and is often described as a religious code for living, the same way the Bible offers a moral system for Christians or the Talmud and Mishnah in Jewish law.

In any case US law takes precedence over all.

Attempts by some state legislators (Tennessee, Oklahoma) to introduce anti-Sharia legislation is not only unnecessary, but may violate Constitutional rights to practice one's faith freely.

Herman Cain is not the founder of Godfather's Pizza. Herman Cain was named by Godfather's parent company, Pillsbury, to be the CEO after he'd been successful with another of their properties, Burger King. Later, Cain formed a group that bought Godfather's from Pillsbury.

Godfather's Pizza was originally founded in 1973 by William Theisen.

Oh, and Herman Cain doesn't stand a chance at getting the GOP nomination, let alone winning in the general election.

This comment is just plain ignorant and alarmist. To be fair, Cain isn't the only public figure making hateful, nonsensical and wrongheaded comments about Muslims. Rep. Peter King's comments about Muslims supposedly being prone to terrorism is pretty bad, considering that he has in the past actively supported the IRA (which has always been a thorn in US-UK relations).

Obviously you have not done much reading on political Islam and its inroads into the judiciaries of Western Europe.

My post is neither ignorant nor alarmist. It is however realist.

Just because someone is a Muslim does not mean they believe in Sharia law, nor does it mean they want to have Sharia law take over the U.S or work its way into the U.S legal system. Now if a potential Judicial nominee or cabinet member held those views than of course it would be fine not to select them for that reason, but to ban any and all Muslims is absolutely ridiculous.
