Doesn’t matter whether you believe that Jesus is divine or there is no God but Allah: the AMERICAN way is to hold that there is no necessary connection between religious belief and the law, and that rights established by the constitution supersede religious commandments. The MUSLIM way is to accept no separation between religious authority and political authority; a state that chooses Islam as the basis for its legitimacy is simply incompatible with constitutional government. Kemal Ataturk knew this — he believed Islam was the greatest impediment to progress in Turkey, and instituted a militant secularism that, unfortunately, is now being undermined. Why can’t the President of the United States promote and defend the American way?
