Muslim and Jewish groups on Monday sharply criticized Sen. John McCain's comments that he would prefer a Christian president to lead the United States. And they have every right to think that way. We claim to be such a democratic country based on democratic principles and based on diversity and so forth but then we have an individual, with such an esteemed, respected position, come out and say that this country would be better off with a Christian president. That is a direct blow to the nature of this country and to the ideals and values that America is supposedly based upon. Even if McCain does think that, and he has every right to since we are a nation based on the freedom of speech, he should understand that his position comes with a certain level of understanding and he has to understand that this will insult people and is a completely inappropriate and offensive remark.
