I know. It's shocking to me that people think there's anything remotely acceptable about offering "he's Muslim" as a complaint against a candidate. What? So? And maddening that a candidate should be obliged to prove anything at all about his religion. And argh, the whole emphasis in the last several years on America as a Christian Nation just breaks my heart and AUGH AUGH AUGH. It's a whole ugly little tangle of color-based racism, must-be-Christian religiosity, and Islam=terror. Guh.
