And Islam would NOT disqualify a candidate from serving? What does the Quran "teach [a] person to do to others"?
I could NEVER vote for a follower of Muhammed for any public office. NEVER.
Regarding Mormonism, I truly believe that Jospeh Smith simply made it all up, as did that other guy Muhammed mentioned above. And that the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints is as much of a "religious fiction" as is Islam.
Having said that, I could vote for Romney if he is the nominee. Hmmm, better stated, I _will_ vote for him if he gets that far.
At least in his speech above, he says that he will take his oath of office with a hand on The Bible.
What would B. Hussein Obama rest his hand upon?
- John
Islam is all over the place in terms of its adherents. I will agree that in its most basic theology is theocracy, but there are strands that don’t interpret it this way. There’s no central authority.
And there are MINOs as well.
All that said, I’m gonna semi-agree with you: I would definitely think twice or thrice about a muslim candidate - or four times.
But he'll ALSO have to have it upon the BoM, the Pearl of Great Price, the Doctrines&Covenants as well, for ALL of these are SCRIPTURE to him!
He can't even UNDERSTAND the 'bible' without the others to guide him!
