The philosophy of a candidate's religion is HIGHLY relevant as to what kind of President he will be.  Islam isn't like Christianity, which doesn't endorse a theocracy, or Buddhism and Hinduism, which endorse lifestyles, but are not particularly proselytizing.  There are aspects of Islamic faith that are very much in conflict with the idea of liberal democracy, and one of those ideas is the voluntary surrendering of public office after losing an election.  How Muslims, even "moderate" Muslims, rule over states where Islam is in the majority, is a reflection of Muslim ideas of government.  At a certain point, the Constitution is only a piece of paper, while the President remains the Commander in Chief of the military. 

Tell that to Mike Huckabee.

Very stupid issue.

Look, in 1945 if the media asked a politician if we should have a Japanese American President, the answer would have been: "Are you in' nuts? We're at war with Japanese enemies."

The same applies 70 years later. We're at war with Islamic extremists.

You could pour gasoline on the fire, but it's better just to leave it alone.

Kind of a false equivalency given that the Japanese were so feared that we rounded them up in droves and put them into camps. We haven't done that with the 2-3 million Muslims currently residing in the US.
