John F.Kennedy and Barack H. Obama share a few things in common when elected presidents such as their youthfulness and their oratory skills. Besides this they profess religions which are off the American main stream. Kennedy was a Catholic and Obama, a Muslim. If Americans could accept Kennedy's religious difference fifty years ago, why couldn't they accept Obama today? Catholic and Islam share a common ancestry this is reason enough for acceptance. Religions of presidents do not matter much. Look at George Bush. He is a Christian of main stream America and he has created such a big mess.
Personally I think American can benefit more from a Muslim president. For one thing, most Muslims are God-fearing people. They hesitate to carry out something, if that goes against the teaching of their religion. There will be no lying or cheating like what marred the Bush administration. In warfare, Islam has rules of engagement. Collateral damage would be a thing of the past. In business, one has to play the game by the rules that specify what is legal and what is not. So there will be no melt down on Wall Street.
A Muslim president is accountable before God. He keeps himself in check because if he doesn't, he is going to have a hard time explaining himself before God on Judgment Day.
