Default If a Muslim was to be President of the United States, Which party would be closer to Muslim beliefs?

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.

Why not? Does the American constitution say no for women to be presidents or are you talking about the "Islamic America"? Why wouldn't it be possible for a Muslim woman to be president?

Whooooa, slow down here. I asked a question. I know the American constitution has no problem with a woman Muslim President. So you are saying Muslims would have no problem as well?

Let me be clear on my intentions here. I believe many Muslims world wide will be glad if we get a Democrat for President, but if they lived here and had to vote for the party that alligned it's self closer to Muslim beliefs, which party would it be?
