How Bernie Sanders Paves the Way for a Muslim President
The Daily Beast ^ | February 25, 2016 | Dean Obeidallah, Palestinian-American Comic

Now that a Jew has won a presidential primary, how far behind can a Muslim be? Well, not that close--but not as far as you think, either.

It doesn't matter if Bernie Sanders gets crushed in Saturday's South Carolina primary. He has already achieved something truly astounding. He has made it much more likely that a Muslim American will one day be president of the United States. (That shrieking sound you're hearing is from Trump supporters.)

How? Simple, Sanders is the first non-Christian to win a presidential primary in American history when he took the New Hampshire primary. (It's actually shocking that it has taken this long.) Consequently, Bernie has broken the religious glass ceiling, paving the way for other non-Christian faiths such as Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus, etc. to follow in his footsteps....

It too a Jew, an atheistic one at that, about 224 years to win a presidential primary. Call me up in 2240 for when a Mohham-madman does so.

Seriously, the next thing you know a guy who has close and extensive ties to the Muslim Brotherhood will be President.

Oh wait...

A Muslim comic? That is a true oxymoron.

Bernie has broken the religious glass ceiling,

Bernie is about as religious as Trump is tactful.

You know when you have to put “comic” on your byline that you are in fact a failure as a comedian.

You can almost hear this b*stard lusting for American Unbeliever blood. His hijra (hegira in English) to come force-convert us and wade in the blood of Israeli Jews by cutting off their support in America (before he cuts us off) is bubbling up to the surface. His pores ooze his hatred of European civilization, in common with so many educated Moo's.

Why in God's name would anyone post up this thinly-disguised hate-literature from the evil, Wa-Po-enslaved but perfectly-named Daily Beast?

In reference to Jews in high government positions, the Supreme Court has had some Jewish Justices including the great Felix Frankfurter who was a proponent of judicial restraint even though he had been among the founders of the ACLU (rather a different thing in its founding years although always left wing, it supported the bill of rights in a manner one wishes they would today).

Dean Obeidallah must have slept through 2008. A Muslim won a slew of primaries that year.

Arguably the first non-Christian to be elected was Thomas Jefferson. I guess it depends on how you define "Christian."
