I dont know why candidates are bothering to discuss this. Theres nothing legally to prevent the voters from electing a Moslem (or, what we have now). End of discussion. What any of the present candidates thinks a good choice for the voters, on that issue, is irrelevant, since there is not presently a Moslem in the race.
Would you support our electing a Russian as our President? How about a Chinese candidate?
No, I prefer a first-generation American-born Martian.
There is a Muslim in the White House.
