In an interview earlier this week about religion and politics, John McCain hinted that Muslims should reconsider their religion before running for president:
"I admire the Islam. There's a lot of good principles in it," he said. "But I just have to say in all candor that since this nation was founded primarily on Christian principles, personally, I prefer someone who I know who has a solid grounding in my faith."
In other words, John McCain does not want someone that is different than him to become president. Maybe a question worth asking is whether someone who believes that fear will triumph over tolerance is really qualified to be president?
