THAT is the issue people are debating about Islam. Is it simply a religion? Or is it a theocracy?

As the article states, While it is rare that Islamic scholars today intend to update Islam, they do exist.

Radicals would call such a Muslim office seeker an apostate, but more moderate ones would not.

So, theoretically, it would be possible to support a Muslim for the presidency, much like Rep. Keith Ellison won supporters in Minnesota.

Whether the rest of America will one day vote like Ellison’s congressional district is another matter.
