Ben Carson Says Muslims Should Be Disqualified From Presidency

A supporter at a Donald Trump created quite a stir on Thursday when, among other incendiary remarks, he falsely claimed President Obama was a Muslim.

But the comment raises an interesting question: What if it were true? Why should it matter if Obama was a Muslim?

On Meet The Press, Chuck Todd posed that exact question to Ben Carson, the retired neurosurgeon who is closely trailing Trump in the polls. Carson said he would not support a Muslim president and that only candidates with a faith “consistent with the Constitution” should be President.

CHUCK TODD: Let me wrap this up by finally dealing with what’s been going on, Donald Trump, and a deal with a questioner that claimed that the president was Muslim. Let me ask you the question this way. Should a President’s faith matter? Should your faith matter to voters?

BEN CARSON: Well, I guess it depends on what that faith is. If it’s inconsistent with the values and principles of America, then of course it should matter. But if it fits within the realm of America and consistent with the constitution, no problem.

TODD: So do you believe that Islam is consistent with the constitution?

CARSON: No, I don’t, I do not.

TODD: So you–

CARSON: I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that.

Your entire thread is a lie. That is NOT what he said.

He said that HE would not vote for a Muslim and that Islam wasn't consistent with the COTUS, yes. But he NEVER said they should be disqualified from holding the office.

Why would you tell such an obvious lie?

To disparage Carson as a religious right wing loon.

He is a right wing loon who denies evolution, knows nothing about vaccines, compares obamacare to slavery..

Hates the constitution, wants sharia law.

IOW, a perfect choice for the RW traitors.

 

[Zander]

Are any Muslims running?

"BEN CARSON: Well, I guess it depends on what that faith is. If it’s inconsistent with the values and principles of America, then of course it should matter. But if it fits within the realm of America and consistent with the constitution, no problem."

The ignorance and stupidity of this speaks for itself.

I can't help but notice how many liberals on these boards have similar avatars. Now you're turning them upside down as a collective, are you guys sure you don't all subscribe to the same hate sites that tell you what to project on the internet?

It's ignorance and arrogance more than insanity, along with contempt for the Constitution, its case law, and the rule of law common to most on the right, and Carson in particular.

Carson's ignorance of the Constitution is well documented, here we see another facet of failed conservative dogma, the wrongheaded notion that the United States is a 'Christian' Nation, that only Christians should be 'allowed' to become president, and the arrogance typical of many Christians that their religion is 'superior' to all other religions:

'In suggesting a religious test for potential presidents — where some religions would be “inconsistent” with the constitution — Carson appears somewhat unfamiliar with the text of the constitution. Article VI, paragraph 3 of the United States constitution states “no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.”'

Here we have more evidence reaffirming the fact that Christian fundamentalists and the social right are indeed the bane of the American Nation.

When is one of you brainless dolts going to quote where Carson said it should be against the law for a Muslim to be on the ballot? If you can't produce the evidence, all your chest beating and histrionics are beside the beside the point.

Actually it's kind of hard to discern Carson's word salad.

Probably because you're a blithering imbecile.

What he said was pretty straight forward.

He said that everything depends on what your history or background is....not always your religion.

Here's a list of the Muslim Presidential Candidates....




















That's all of 'em!!

[rightwinger]

This thread isn't even talking about carson wanting to legally ban muslims from holding office, he does believe this though, after all, islam doesn't "fit" the constitution.

That's exactly what this thread is about, you lying numskull Every time the Constitution is brought up, you are discussing making it illegal for Muslims to run for public office. Otherwise, there's no point in mentioning the Constitution.

Carson brought it up.

Actually, the interviewer brought it up.

"CHUCK TODD: Let me wrap this up by finally dealing with what’s been going on, Donald Trump, and a deal with a questioner that claimed that the president was Muslim. Let me ask you the question this way. Should a President’s faith matter? Should your faith matter to voters?

Try again.

In America today, that response is scary

Especially coming from a black man

Nonsense.

Liberals fight against the conservative Christian version of Sharia daily, Carson's ignorant, unwarranted, and un-Constitutional hostility to a Muslim becoming president is but one of many examples.

Liberals oppose all manner of religious extremism hostile to First Amendment jurisprudence, regardless what religion that might be.

Sharia is part of Islam. You turds insult Christians on a daily basis, but you think Islam deserves respect?

What a bunch of sanctimonius turds.

Liberals don't fight against Sharia. They want to import it into this country, and they defend those who want to impose it on us. You would kick and scream if a Christian fundamentalist got the Republican nomination, but you wouldn't have a complaint if a Muslim got the Democrat nomination.

You're just another lying liberal piece of crap.
