The First Mormon President

This may surprise some people--given my recent history of voting for LDS candidates--but I am totally behind this Presidential candidate, even though I know nothing of his politics. He's running for office in Mali.

Lots of people--Muslims and Mormons--have said that if a bridge is to be built between Christianity and Islam, it's going to be through the Mormon Church. We share a lot of beliefs and a stunningly similar history. Having a Mormon President in a Muslim Country could be the pathway to building a bridge such as what we had before the crusades and jihads, and that was one of love--or at least respect--between peoples, something the world is in desperate need of now.

By the way, his name is Niankoro Yeah Samake.
