Republican or Democrat?
What would a Muslim President's position be on: Abortion Gun control Welfare Tax Breaks Health Insurance Women's rights I know some of you are going to say religion should have nothing to do with it. But I believe if we had a Muslim for President, he would not be a hypocrite. I say "he" because, would it be possible for a woman Muslin to be President?

Abortion == forbidden after the 4th month, unless on a medical reason Gun control == society safety and security is the most ctitical issue in the ideal islamic country, so, if guns are spread to the extent that people start killing each other in schools and universities, and to the extend that walking after a midnight in cities become a dangrous matter, so, yes, for gun control. Welfare == this's the intention from being in a soceity in the first place (besides safety ofcourse), one day Omar (the 2nd muslim caliphate after the prophet mohamed) said: if a mule got stumbled in some street in some town in iraq (he was in madina, 2 thousands kilometers from iraq), allah will ask me, why you didn't pave the road for it ? Tax Breaks == fairness, the ruler shouldn't abuse the tax payers money in needless, illegal wars. Health Insurance == should a billions be spent in a research for weapons that can't be used like nukes, while being Stingy in health insurrance? Women's rights == Ideals and role models for women in Islam is that possible for a woman to be president in islam? yes, no text or teach tell us women can't be a ruler, some days, Egypt ruled by a woman.

Hmmm, an American Ummah. I wonder if we'd start religious wars with Canada and Mexico.

Popular Islam, or Quranic Islam? The two seem quite different.

Islam promotes conservative values, just like Christianity. I imagine that if you just switch Christianity with Islam, the political issues wouldn't be much different.

Actually, this topic is quite interesting. I can honestly say I haven't met one Republican Muslim - I know on economic issues Islam is very tolerant about social welfare. The GOP probably shoots itself in the foot trying to appease religious bigots. There's a difference between being religious and conservative, and religiously conservative.

If they're a religious fundamentalist, who are usually social conservatives, I would say definitely republican. But if they're more moderate or liberal then probably democrat. Just like Christians, they could span across different parties depending on how they approach their own faith.
