I liked Colin Powells take on that one:
"I'm also troubled by not what senator McCain says, but what members of the party say - and it is permitted to be said - such things as "you know that Obama is a muslim". The correct answer is that he's not a muslim, he's a christian, he's always been a christian. But the reallyright answer is: what if he is? Is there something wrong with being a muslim in this country? The answer is no. That is not America. Is there something wrong with some 7 year old muslim american kid believing he or she can be president?"
- olefoo 18y agoI think it more likely that Americans would elect a Muslim than an atheist. We still have a long ways to go in overcoming our prejudices.
