    I'm not sure if it would have cost Obama the election or not if he was Muslim. It very well might have. But, it is a consistant standard in the presidential election that faith is scrutinized.

    A key factor that hurt John F. Kennedy in his campaign was the widespread prejudice against his Roman Catholic religion; some Protestants believed that, if he were elected President, Kennedy would have to take orders from the Pope in Rome.

    Clearly it was a huge problem for Mitt Romney

    Obama took plenty of heat for the church he did belong to.

    No president thus far has been a jew, a buddhist, or a hindu. That would likely go over with plenty of resistance.

    The only thing Americans seem to be totally comferatable with is some form of church going, god fearing candidate of a protestant denomination.

    We won't see anyone outside of the Christian faith, or its denomenations, in office anytime soon, maybe not even our lifetime. The bottom line is that this country was founded by Protestants who wanted to come practice their religion without the oppression of the Catholic church. The majority are Christians, so they won't elect a Jew, Muslim, Buddhist, or anything like that...before they elect a woman for example.

    Agreed. However I beleive that if he overtly declared his faith as being Islam, I think he would not have even been close to winning. Not that Americans are closed-minded or intolerant to other faiths, I just dont think its a great time to be a Muslim in America.

    No doubt about that.
