Of course, I assume these elections are limited only to Muslim males. Jews (and atheists) are officially banned from Saudi Arabia, and Buddhists may be as well (at best, grudgingly tolerated). My original point was to use an extreme example to show that religious tests for public office are not a good idea.

You needn't bother---the Founding Fathers understood that religious tests were complete crap over 200 years ago.

If someone still fails to understand that such a practice is an odious affront to our Republic, then they are probably immune to reason.
