President should be pluralistic<\/p>\n
From Republika<\/p>\n
In his recent article published in Republika, Haedar Nashir
\ntouched on the cultural burden of a devout Muslim as president.
\nIn fact, it is not only a pious leader that would be subject to
\nsuch a burden, but also the members of particular professions.<\/p>\n
The presidential candidates that have emerged so far comprise
\nscientists, servicemen, ulemas, artists and other professionals.
\nA person's profession greatly influences his character and
\nattitudes.<\/p>\n
Therefore, the public's worries about what may happen if the
\npresident is a devout Muslim leader, an actor, or a soldier
\nshould be transparently explained by psychologists and
\nsociologists.<\/p>\n
The important thing is to avoid the domination of any
\nprofession or belief system. A presidential hopeful should be
\nfree from any such domination and appreciate the freedom of
\nothers, while always listening to the suggestions, views and
\nthoughts of other people.<\/p>\n
