Think of it this way.
Would you let a serial killer be a congressman? Absolutely not!
Would you let a member of the mafia become a congressman, even though the mafia member may never have comitted a crime? Absolutely not! The reason is because the mafia member supports anarchy and supports anyway in which that goal is achieved.
In the same way, I would never support a muslim to hold a government office.

Would you let a Christian become a congressman? Some of their people spout hate, use the Bible to justify murder, torture, rape, etc, go to war over the ideals of their god, and attack common sense because it disagrees with a 2,000 year old document. Surely, they must all be bad and if not how are we to pick out the good ones from the bad since people running for office do this thing where they lie through their teeth?
But nepotism, incompetance, stupidity, failure, lies, greed, those are okay? 'God told me to invade Iraq', that makes sense to you?
But Texan-wannabe frat boys who support the death penalty are a-okay, right? A little consistancy would be nice. A little sanity, too, but I'm sure that would be asking too much.
There is nothing to keep either of these from running for and being elected to Congress unless they have actually been convicted of a crime. Even if someone is suspected of being a serial killer, if he could get enough people to vote for him, he could be elected. And I wouldn't be at all surprised if we found that more than a couple of members of Congress have ties to organized crime.
And if you can't support a Muslim for office, don't vote for him, dumbass. That's what our election system is all about.
I want you to go to Rome , about 2000 odd years ago. See what they, the sophisticated elite, thought of Christians.
cute how cyclical culture is, eh?

When you grow up, teenager, you will learn not to stereotype.
Close, but not quite. I'd roll with.
If you learn not to stereotype, teenager, you will grow up.

Thanks, Julian. You have corrected my naïve optimism regarding human intellectual development.
Last I checked, the Mafia were a highly organised crime syndicate. Hardly anarchic, don't you think?
And comparing Muslims to serial killers? You, sir, are batshit insane.
MAFIA NEVER COMMITED A CRIME, wtf?, are you serious man?. Besides, would you support fundies who have been SENTENCED for beating their wives and kids, or killing, yes killing.........?, oh yeah, you say that some are, but not all. Don´t think all American Christians are Phelps. Oh NO!, It´s the same for moslems. It sticks out a mile you´re a teenager, and not particularly gifted, by the way.
Given the track record Bush's neo-conservative Republicans have established since 2001, Teenager's argument is a good one for never voting for the GOP again.
But then, I'd already come to THAT conclusion.
Would you let a Nazi be a congressman? Absolutely not!
In the same way, I would never support a white person to hold a government office.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
