President Obama is NOT a Muslim. He is most likely agnostic or an atheist who used church for political reasons.
Sure.
Mount Cashel in Canada, run by Catholic priests.
Mission Indian Residential School run by the Catholic church in BC.
The Irish orphanage run by the good sisters, where they found the bones of 796 babies in a septic tank.

For starters.

Subsequently your assertion of a Nobel peace prize is irrelevant. I would have thought that was a rhetorical point, but I guess I needed to explain.
I didn't bring the nobel up to validate my opinion. I brought it up because while I could have said that I know several american muslims who would meet my criteria if they ever ran for president, I would hardly expect that argument to carry any water in a public forum. Malala is a muslim who does not fit the evil-doer sterotype, and she is well-known - and hopefully will now become even better known. She is not unique, contrary to the paranoid among us.

Did you read the original poll question? Did you understand it?

I'm a Catholic.

I voted "yes" on the poll.
So you're ok with woman or gays not having rights? Do you vote Democrat?

Muslim is not a religion, it's a cult determined to take over the world. Read the Koran or ask obama what they are really up to...

Exactly...if they held my political beliefs...including making same sex marriage legal, then I have no problem voting for one.

I won't vote for a bible thumper who uses their faith to base their politics on.

So he is a typical progressive hypocrite, who lies to gain power? Sounds about right

I'd take a chance on a POTUS who was Sufi.
So you'd risk the Constitution on a Sufi leader?

Do you actually give a good thought the implications of what you say before you type it?

GOD forbid a Bible thumper is in office, but the only criteria for a Muslim President is that he is pro gay?

That's not even possible!
