zoeygirl59, people used to ask questions in a similar vein about Catholic politicians in both Canada and the United States.  Over time, we've come to appreciate that people are people, and only the most rigid people let religion colour every aspect of their lives.  There's nothing in this article that suggests that Tayyab Rashid and Afroze Anjum are those rigid people - quite the opposite.  That said, I agree we all would benefit from finding out more about people like these two.
