This prejudice lets politicians like Mitt Romney say, “We need a person of faith to run this country” and not receive even a mummer of criticism for establishing a theism litmus test. In fact, his statement is almost necessarily true, because, even though most voters wouldn’t disqualify a gay, black, or female presidential candidate, only 37 percent...

I'm told by people involved in the investigation that KSM was present during Wall Street Journal correspondent Danny Pearl's execution but was in fact not the person who killed him.
