Would you ever vote for an openly Muslim president? (legal, poll, Canada)

[HyperionGap]

Yes I would. I'd vote for someone who believes in the flying spaghetti monster if our political views coincide.

President Obama is NOT a Muslim. He is most likely agnostic or an atheist who used church for political reasons.

Of all the churches he went to a church where the reverend preached "God Damn America".

If that person held my same political beliefs and was going up against another idiot Republican, then yes I would.

Those who say no, would you vote for that individual if they were a republican?

Religion of a political candidate has no influence on my vote at all, as long as their personal religious views don't impact policy.

I wonder if the people who voted yes to a Muslim president understand that that would mean a person who believes that woman don't have the rights of a man? I wonder if these same people understand that a Muslim president is anti-gay.

It is naive to think that a persons religious beliefs wouldn't impact policy.

I remember many people saying they couldn't possibly vote for JFK since he was a Catholic and would "take orders" from the Vatican.

I'm a Catholic.

I voted "yes" on the poll.

Again? No, but I didn't vote for Obama in 08 or 12 either.

Word is the Sufi Muslims are decent; they're the ones who had their stuff destroyed in Timbuktu a couple years back by Islamist pigs. That even pissed off many Christians here in the US.

I'd take a chance on a POTUS who was Sufi.
