Sounds like your friends and professor were successful in their con job and you fell for it. Their goal is for the entire world to be under Muslim control. They are patient, they are winning...

So you're gullible and believe the democratic propaganda, I'm a conservative and vote republican. I would not vote for a Muslim president based on their Islam beliefs which I believe would take away women's and gay rights.

How many moderate Muslims actually support gay rights though? I don't care what someone's religion is, as long as they don't try and force it on me or the general public.

The Arabic word Islam simply means “submission” and Obediance

An infidel, if offered a choice, may escape death by submission. “Peace” has an entirely different meaning in Islam, only a society completely dominated by Dar Al-Islam is “at peace”.

I'd do it just to make religious people's heads explode. The apoplexy alone would be worth voting for.

Second post on the thread and reason has already been abandoned.

What makes you think a Muslim president will be a extreme Muslim sympathizer? Just because he/she is Muslim? Why then didn't Bush or Clinton, both Christian presidents, agree with the extreme view that the Earth is 6,000 years old? Why were they not willing to pass extremely negative laws towards homosexuals? After all, they were Christian and surely would support extreme Christianity?

Your head might explode.

“Do not approach prayers while you are drunk.” and since they prey 5 times a day, oh well, no drink.

Fajr (pre-dawn): This prayer starts off the day with the remembrance of God; it is performed before sunrise.
Dhuhr (noon): After the day's work has begun, one breaks shortly after noon to again remember God and seek His guidance.
'Asr (afternoon): In the late afternoon, people are usually busy wrapping up the day's work.
Maghrib (sunset): Just after the sun goes down.
'Isha (evening): Before retiring for the night.

Just out of curiousity, how many Muslims do you know? Actually KNOW, and not see one walking down the street?

Basically, I'm suspicious of any Muslim in office because Islam across the world has proven itself to be against individual rights and particularly destructive to women and gays. In short, Islam in many places is the antithesis of Western small "L" liberalism. I am very wary of Islamofascists infiltrating our institutions of government with ulterior motives that are not in the interest of Western civilization.

I wish I could say I'm shocked that so many supposed liberals are willing to jump on the Sharia bandwagon, but nothing about American liberalism surprises me anymore.

Who said anything about Liberals jumping on the Sharia bandwagon? All I saw were that people would vote for a Muslim if they held the same political ideology and followed the constitution. Is that so hard for right-wingers to comprehend?
