The amount of casual Islamophobia I have seen lately from friends on Facebook is truly alarming. Folks, Article VI of the Constitution specifically denies a religious test for office.

Washington and Jefferson both made arguments that "Mahometans" (an antiquated word for Muslims) could hold office at the time of the ratification debates. Muslims have fought and died for this country in many of our wars, including ones in the Middle East.

Sharia law becoming part of U.S. law is no more a thing than Kosher, Roman Catholic Canon Law, or an Evangelical congregational covenant.
