Think that's far-fetched? Look at Western Europe. They are experiencing massive immigration from the Muslim World and it's just going to continue. It amounts to ethnic replacement.
Oh, did I say hand over our country to Muslims? Let me look around here....no, no I don't see it. Could you point out where I said that? As for the rest of your post, nothing but biased nonlogical thinking. Congratulations!

Your problem appears to be with the First Amendment, and with Article VI paragraph 3, which do not allow such differentiation. Perhaps you should start a campaign to modify the Constitution. Let us know how it goes.

The US already has done so in 2008 and 2012.

Maybe they want to outlaw all sex outside of marriage. Maybe they want to go back to the good ole days & force people to have 10 kids, woman stays home. Maybe their against traditional medicine like a Jehovah so they ban certain people from getting medical treatments? Is that acceptable to you? How do you know their not some secret serial killer who has just never been caught? Do yo usee how proposterous your post is now? Good grief.
Or look at Romney and the fulfillment of the White Horse Prophesy. A great Mormon leader who will lead the US into a wondrous theocracy, and will usher in the Second Coming of Christ.

I have no theological problem with Islam, just the...violent application of it in many countries. So my beef is social and not religious.

A Muslim POTUS works for me; if or how one prays isn't my business.

The abolition movement traces back to the 1600's and was very much motivated by Christian theology.

The Catholic church (unsuccessfully) tried to intervene on the behalf of the Indians in their suffering at the hands of the Spanish in the late 1500's as well for the same reason.

Would you ever vote for an openly Muslim president?

Of course. I'm neither xenophobic or completely ignorant. Seems many here have that covered.
