Religion became an election issue for the first time during the candidacy of president John Kennedy in 1960, since he was a Roman Catholic. He, however, defused the issue by pledging that his religious beliefs would have no bearing on his decisions as president. Religion as a factor surfaced again four years ago, when some opponents of candidate Obama misrepresented him as a closet Muslim. The story was soon quashed. Son of a Kenyan Muslim father, Obama was raised as a Christian by his white maternal grandparents. -- Syed Amir http://www.newageislam.com/NewAgeIslamIslamAndPolitics_1.aspx?ArticleID=6463 | |||||||||||||
