Barrack HUSSEIN Obama is a muslim if you didn't know, bruh. See where he brought us. In front of the World War 3. Muslims are evil, they believe in death only and they like to blow people for their fake freedom beliefs.
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

You have to be a troll....only a fool would say something like "Barack HUSSEIN Obama is a muslim". It shows how ignorant you are to Obama's beliefs. And why capitalize the "hussein" part? Are you trying to imply that he is equivalent to Saddam? He was born with the name his parents gave him 40+ years ago....

An Atheist president or a Christian president would give no understanding to the psychotic acts of the Middle East. A Muslim president would absolutely. They'd understand their literal insanity.
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

No person should be denied public office based on their religious/spiritual beliefs, or lack thereof. This was the whole reason the Founding Fathers were secularists. To not be okay with a Muslim president sounds like religious discrimination to me.

Downvote my argument? Why? What about it was unsound, illogical, or nonsensical?
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

Well you're OK with Christian presidents, and they believe the exact same pile of bollocks.
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

Ouch, two down votes. I was just pointing out there are very few fundamental differences between the main doctrines of both religions, so for a Christian to say that Muslims are bad is hypocritical and demonstrably false.
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

I too don't understand. Surely this is a quite a reasonable assertion.can someone explain?was it the strong language, if you replace "bollox" with "similar stuff", would it sound more reasonable
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

I live in the UK.just thought that should be mentioned first.what you want is a president by the people for the people, been muslim is fine if thats the religion you where indoctrinated in to as a child. Its converts you can't trust. Tony Blair converted to Roman Catholicism the day after he stoped been PM. If someone feels that strong about a religion the question always lingers was he acting as he thought the people wanted or as he thought "his god" wanted (Everyone has their own version of god.). He wouldn't have been kept as PM if he had of converted before hand.so if he can guarantee seperation of church and stae then I would be quite happy, it wouldn't make any difference to muslim enemies though, to them he would be the wrong sort of muslim and therefore still an infidel.
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

The Catholic religion has always been very good to war criminals, perhaps this is why Mr. Blair felt compelled to convert so shortly after his tenure as a war criminal.

LOL, that tickled me on so many levels, what a dude ChadOnSunday
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

I don't see why not. I get so frustrated when conservatives say "oh I think Obamas a Muslim" that's the least of my worries. So what if he was?? Maybe he wouldnt suck so bad. All the Muslims I have met were way nice people.
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

Very reasonable comment from you, mostly. Don't know why you were downvoted.
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

depends, Im not going to put Muslim in my mind, I want to see his/her politics
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

I don't think it matters what religious views they have, as long as they've got decent policies and good ideas for governing the country I live in then why not?
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

I find the idea of a Muslim president no more objectionable than that of a president of any other faith. Personally my preference would be an agnostic or atheist president, but so long as a theistic president of any faith does not intend to impose their beliefs upon others through the power bestowed upon them with their office I do not care. It is when the religious identity becomes the primary driving influence of the office holder that I find it problematic. For me, there are more important issues at stake than religious belief - the economy, social equity, etc. If someone's religion does not obstruct their capacity to address those issues then power to them.
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

As long as he believes in free markets and free minds, there would be no problem.
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

I would. As long as 1. He has ideas that won't mess us up.and 2. that he did not push muslim.
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

Out of curiosity, would you make the same statements about a Christian candidate? Would you voice the same hesitations? I do not want to reach a conclusion without asking, but I have observed it so often that there seems to be undue and unequal reservation regarding Muslims versus Christians.
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

Answering as an American....I don't care about their religious convictions. Ideally, they are suppose to keep that separate from their job as president. So yes, I have no issue with a Muslim president. They could be a Scientologist (one of the newest wackos) for all I care. I do take issue to any (current or potential) president that violates the Separation of Church and State and integrates their or anyone else's religion into law in any way that goes against the 1st Amendment.
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

Sure Why not we already have to put up with Christian Presidents
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

I would be okay with it as long as hes no more extreme about it than past presidents, for instance I don't want to be forced to pray in school. Of course this will not happen for probably 100 years or so
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

I dont see why a Muslim president would be a problem cant be as much of a fuck up as some that have had the job
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

Why not? Muslims may sometimes have same views as other presidents. Although some may be unfair, they choose presidents according to the people (democratic countries) and most likely a muslim would not make it to be a president
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

Why not? Not like I'm racist or anything to any race. Any president would be okay, as long as they have the ability to govern the country well enough and make the country have a good future. He must also be able to communicate effectively with the people. If that isn't so, then I would not be okay with the president.
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

I say since the president couldn't pass a law based on a less desirable trait of the Muslim religion, sure.
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

I honestly have nothing wrong with an Islamic president. I don't have a problem with anyone of any religion being a president. We live in America. People come here for freedom and the two biggest freedoms there are in the world are freedom of religion and freedom of speech. You cannot simply dislike a president based off his beliefs. As long as he/she meets the requirements to become president, then they should have a fair chance of becoming president.
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

sure, I am ok with a Muslim President. Why not okay with a Muslim President? All are humans.
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?

But with one exception.....Sharia Law is not introduced. Citizens in the United States are equal and Sharia Law berates women and calls for the execution of homosexuals.

"You can be a satanist for all I care, I just ask that you don't produce debt at more than a rate of double the last president. cough cough Obama cough cough"Who allegedly is Muslim?
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

There's a problem with that. Obama is not a muslim, neither allegedly or otherwise. He has stated consistently that he is indeed Christian. Do us a favor and do some research. It's clear that you have done none if you want to continue spewing forth republican propaganda. And even if Obama were muslim, what difference would it make? Is he somehow a lesser being?

Link to information? Where's your proof?
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

You should learn to do some research, this is one of the most spread lies about Obama. Despite numerous times that Obama has spoken of his committed Christian faith, some Americans still doubt his religion or, incorrectly, view him as a Muslim.The link for the page is below. It's about 3 paragraphs down.

I think your assuming that when I said "cough cough Obama cough cough" I was hinting at Obama being a Muslim, I'm not, I'm saying that he is not doing good for this country.
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?

I think that someone of the Muslim faith would have a very hard time making it to the Presidency. The reason being, the amount of public religious prejudice which has developed over the last decade or so toward people of the Muslim faith. Just look at Northern Ireland we have seen this before between people of the same bloodlines. I could just imagine the carnage which would ensue if someone of the Muslim faith entered the Presidency!
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Not at all

Just as OK as I would be having a Christian, or Jewish, or Hindu, president/prime minister. While I accept it (religion), and understand how it is different to an inherent belief in something with similar levels of proof (unicorns, or a celestial teapot), that's not to say that I agree with it.But yes, to what the question's really asking, I don't really care whether or not someone's Muslim, Christian, or whatever, if they were my head of state, then as long as I believed that they would do a good job, then I would be happy.
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

"then as long as I believed that they would do a good job"Yes, but there is a difference between you believing they would do a good job, and them actually doing a good job. With the ways the Muslim politics work, they are completely contradictory with that of the American system. That's why most Muslim countries are dictatorships.
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

As someone living in a Muslim country, I feel you may need to revise your opinion of 'Muslim politics'.First of all looking at a list of Islamic countries, you should see that the top five countries listed, by population, are all democracies.Lots of Islamic countries are dictatorships because the vast majority of countries were dictatorships whilst they were not developed - look at Europe, Africa, Asia - dictatorships are not uncommon in the world, democracy is a new ideal, one that is constantly being redefined and adapted. The Middle East has lots of oil, which means that lots of money has gone into the ME, into Islamic countries, in the last 50 or so years, forcing them to develop rapidly. This forgoes social development, and does not bring about political development - a move to democracies. Also, a significant factor is that many Western governments prop up dictators for mutual benefits, even overthrowing democracies.Finally, Muslim politics are based off of the five pillars of Islam. One of these is charity, so I can understand completely why your American (Republican) politics is not compatible - you guys have spent the last month in a hypocritical and ignorant celebration of individual work, that borders on insulting to the collective society that gave these opportunities. Here in Qatar, the government happily takes care of its people - universal education, healthcare, benefits, the people have it all.Also, I'm not even going to address the racial message you're trying to give out - because someone's a Muslim, they're unable to do a good job. Is it not sad that these sorts of comments don't even shock me any more?
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?

First of all looking at a list of Islamic countries, you should see that the top five countries listed, by population, are all democracies.In the sense that N. Korea is a Peoples Democratic Republic, yes, these countries are all democracies. Also, if you arrange the list by percentage of Muslim population, the list more closely resembles the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc, craziest Muslim countries in terms of things like public executions and honor killings. So perhaps being a Muslims country doesn't necessarily mean the country is ripe with barbarism and hate, but apparently there is a direct relationship between the percentage of Muslims in a country and those terrible things, at least in my opinion. This isn't comforting. Finally, Muslim politics are based off of the five pillars of Islam. One of these is charityGood for them; that's also a virtue of Christianity, and I would say Muslims practice it about as often as Christians do, and America is the most rabidly religious western country, so I'd have to disagree that Americans don't practice charity. We have a whole political party dedicated to forcing charity, for Christs sake. And the other four pillars that the politics in Islamic democracies are apparently based off of are: acceptance, worship, and obedience in Mohammad, praying five times a day, starving yourself, and visiting Mecca. Sounds like a great way to ground the values of a democracy except that none of those are democratic values. And in Qatar the government happily takes care of it's people, that is when it's not flogging or stoning them in public, prosecuting them under Sharia, or restricting their diet and worship for religious reasons. Not saying Qatar is the worst of the bunch - not at all. I just think if you eliminated the Islamist element of that country you'd actually have a place worth bragging about, and not just the lesser of all the evils of the Islamic hellholes.

Hey Libtard..If Islam is peaceful loving and great - put it to the test. Be a real liberator and free spirit kind of person and Start a small Bible Study in your home and invite the locals to share with your new found information in the good book called the bible. Or better yet - go start reading the Torah and sharing it with your neighbors. Come back in a year and tell us how loving and caring they are to you. I too have been to Qatar and all throughout the middle east for the last 17 years and have seen many Americans living in fear because of their faith and thats not right - Islam is not peaceful.By the way we are all one Race - its the Human Race. There are no other types - the differences are skin tones and genetics.

You can now go to Church in Qatar, for example. These people are not persecuted, they are allowed to do this, and they no longer live in fear because of their faith (neither do I admit that they did 17 years ago). Qatar is not a country where there is complete discrimination against other religions, or beliefs.I have many friends who will always wear a rosary, or other accessories with links to Christianity. They have never faced discrimination for this.

"Also, I'm not even going to address the racial message you're trying to give out - because someone's a Muslim, they're unable to do a good job."Wow...did you seriously not read my first post on this debate? Here let me repost it for you:GAAAAA! Statements like yours ("Not to be seen as racist") kinda frustrate me! Muslims aren't (I repeat) aren't a race. Muslim is the term given to the followers of Islam. It's like saying because I don't like Christians, I must be racist. Well, I'm not. Christians aren't a race any more than Muslims are a race.Thank you for showing us how much of a moron you are. Muslim's aren't a race dipstick. Arabs are. Not all Arabs are Muslim. Go get educated; you'll find yourself making less idiotic statements or making a fool out of yourself on CreateDebate....dipstick.
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

Your niavety annoys me ...As I have already said, I live in an Islamic country, in the Middle East. I know many Muslims, I know Arab Muslims, African Muslims, White Muslims, I realize that 'Muslim' is not a race. But in common context, racism does not just mean discrimination against a race, it means discriminating against a group of people, like Muslims. You ignore my points for no reason at all - just to be a bit fucking semantic. Pointless.
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?

" But in common context, racism does not just mean discrimination against a race, it means discriminating against a group of people"And you had the audacity to call me naive????? Really???????Racism has nothing to do with religion you idiot. It's like saying you are racist because I can post links in which you posted negative comments about Christians. After all Christians are a group of people too, and you have discriminated against them; you racist, racist little bastard. ;) HAHAHAHAHA!Yeah, and like you said because there are so many different races of Muslim, it's a completely self defeating argument to call someone racist for discriminating against a Muslim. And that's the best part, is that you defeated your own argument with you OWN post. This is hilarious. We got to put that post on file.Besides, my college professor backed me up on this one. Racism has nothing to do with religion, but I wouldn't expect any more from an uneducated high school student such as yourself. My college professor went so far as to accuse you of "Internet Trolling" (although, I personally don't think you are a troll; just uneducated). Like I said in my previous post, GET EDUCATED. You are just making yourself look more and more foolish with every most. I can discriminate against Muslims all I want and I will never be racist for doing so. Just sacrilegious.And if that don't get it though your thick skull, how about that -1 verses my 2 (before you down voted me). So ask anyone else on this site, even iamdavidh. Even HE will agree with me. Racism has nothing to do with religion.
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

Way to opt out of the debate and launch into a semantic tangent instead. Your opponent presented clear evidence and analysis that you were wrong, you pretended that it did not happen and ridiculed them for being an idiot, and then continued to ignore the fact that your argument fell flat even after it was pointed out. Whenever this happens, I find myself with very little option other than to consider the point conceded. So you can win your little tangent, but you lose the overall argument.

No, he opted himself out of the debate. He called me racist for no reason. I am now just showing what a fool he was to do so.
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

You nitwit. He never called you a racist. He said, "not even to mention the racial issue." He then clarified that he was using race in a cultural rather than literal dictionary context, as do many people. Is it semantically inaccurate? Sure, but ultimately it really has nothing to do with the point he was raising which was that your association of ineptitude with Islamic belief was ignorant. Rather than address that or any other of the valid points raised, you sidestepped into semantics and got your panties into a knot over an imagined accusation that was never made.
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Not at all

Wow, you're a moron. Here let me post what he said:"Also, I'm not even going to address the racial message you're trying to give out - because someone's a Muslim, they're unable to do a good job. "As you can see, he is clearly affirming that the Muslims are a race. It's a confusion I have run into many times, as people think that Muslims are Arabs. This was no exception. The way this sentence is structured, there is no wiggle room. Instead of saying something like, "Also, I'm not even going to address the culturally biased message you're trying to send out"; he uses the word racial. That's extremely important due to the following, "because someone's a Muslim, they're unable to do a good job."Here he's connecting the term racial with stereotyping. Again, there is no room for using the "cultural" excuse. So quit being an ignoramus fool and tying to say opposite! Second, he's made posts calling Christians all sorts of derogatory things. So wouldn't that make him racist too?And finally, let's look at his back-peddle. He makes a last effort attempt to try to save face with this line:""in a similar way as me insulting Americans will get me labeled as a racist, despite the fact that they are not a race."Disproven with this:Billboard Top 100, 2004: "American Idiot"-Green DayGreen Day, which is an United Kingdom band, made fun of the American culture with there album "American Idiot". Not once, (and I repeat) not once have the been called racist.If you think, that after all this, he wasn't calling me racist; you are one of the most willingly ignorant people on the entire planet. Get educated!! Then you won't make such a fool of yourself. But then again, once a fool always a fool.
