Sure, it is possible to get a Muslim president who serves the Constitution fairly, either from a less zealous religious spirit or from a pragmatic attitude, but Islam itself promotes a strong sense of allegiance to Islam that refuses allegiance to any nation.

There are times, I must say, when I feel like saying, "Bring it on, Lord, I'm sick of this nation that hates You and Your law. I'd rather have my head sawn off than see it go on another day." But guess what, unlike me God is merciful to all you ingrates and continues to give you time to repent.
I wouldn't rather have my head sawn off than see this nation go on another day, so could you ask your God to put it off about 100 more years no matter how depraved and anti-God the U.S. of A gets? Or do you feel more of an allegience to your God than your country?

Allegiance to my God REQUIRES me to have allegiance to my country, unlike allegiance to Allah.
I don't understand why this is the case. Can you explain why you believe this?
