[quote=Anonymous][quote=takoma]To the poster(s) skeptical about Catholic and Muslim presidents:

I'm curious what lesson about Catholic presidents we learned from Kennedy.  That they tend to be assassinated in office?  Any thoughts about Biden?  Is Bush's Catholicism a significant part of how you'd judge him?

More seriously, I had my differences with Kennedy (over Viet Nam, for example), but I don't see that to have been related to his religion.

As to Muslim presidents,[b] India had a Muslim president from 2002 to 2007, despite its a history of Hindu/Muslim tension.[/b]  Turkey now has a Muslim president, although Turkish Kurds may not feel that he has done much for their democratic rights.  Indonesia is anther Muslim Republic.

PS - I assume "tenant" was the result of a spellchecker that thought tenants are more common than tenets?[/quote]

PM is head of government in India - there will never be a muslim PM in india. In fact the opposite has happened, India has gone Hindu nationalist, and is pretty happy with that choice. [/quote]
