Mansoor Ladha: So what if he’s Muslim? Nenshi would make a great mayor

Mayoralty candidate Naheed Nenshi was recently asked if Calgary is ready for a Muslim mayor. I thought when voters go to cast their ballots during an election, they look at the credentials and qualifications of a candidate, not his religion, which is not even mentioned on the ballot.

What voters should look for is the candidate’s ability for the job and then cast their ballots for the best candidate.
