I believe in the separation of church and state, but I do not believe in the separation of politics from religion.

Islam is a religion of success. Unlike Christianity, which has as its main image, in the west at least, a man dying in a devastating, disgraceful, helpless death.

The First Amendment freedom of religion is as important today as when the Bill of Rights was first written.

Religion, for better or for worse, has been politicized in blatant ways that have seldom been equaled in American elections.

What is especially important is addressing the question of how religion can be enforced through political means and what can be done to create a political environment that, on the one hand, acknowledges the role of religion in society, while on the other hand does not impose one religion on the populace at the expense of all others.
