Ben Carson Says Muslims Should Be Disqualified From Presidency

[Pogo]

A Muslim would work for USA failure and for Radical Islam to succeed.

ah.......wait? thats' what we have now!

The it's not working too well is it?

That would depend on his or her policies.

Not difficult to imagine what a devout Muslim would think about gays and women.
.

Again I would ask you, do you know ANY Muslims? I do and not a one of them has a problem with me being gay or a woman. None of them want me covered up or put to death. I have been treated MUCH better by American Muslims than I have by American Evangelical Christians.

No, Islam Doesn't Say Kill Gays

If a devout Muslim ran for President and was against women's rights and abortion and gay rights because of his religion, you wouldn't vote for them. You wouldn't trust what they would do in office.

Yeah, me too.

I'd guess the main reason Carson wouldn't vote for a devout Muslim is more national security-oriented and culture-oriented because of the candidate's religion, and he wouldn't trust what they would do in office, either.

That doesn't make you or me or Carson a bigot, it just means we'd have our reasons for not voting for that person.
.

What is the national security concern of an American born Muslim running for President?

So you really can't think of any reason why there might be concern.

Gosh, me neither.
.

For an American Muslim? I can't think of why that would be a security concern...but of course I'm not an Islamaphobe.

That's why they genuflect to Donald Rump. He does the digging for them.

Lincoln, actually.

Not sure there were any since then though. Eisenhower maybe.

I can't..... and that isn't my point. Many here are adamant that Christians, especially Evangelicals should not be allowed near government office... I'm not saying I've ever heard you express that demented view. You actually atre one of the more reasonable lefties here...

BTW.. some of the founders were actually Diests.

Christianity has shown to be compatible with the U.S. Constitution and democracy in general. Islam has not. This country was established by devout Christians, dufus.

A religion -- any religion -- isn't "compatible" or "incompatible" with the COTUS. They're two different things.

He said Islam isn't compatible with the constitution and he is correct. A vast majority of Americans will agree with that. Maybe some of them are liberal pussies who are afraid of becoming outcasts among their friends, and won't say the obvious.

Islam is a religion.
The Constitution is a legal structure.

They're two different things. The latter is public, the former private.

I don't know or give a flying rat's ass **** what kind of loaded question your fantasy "vast majority" will "agree" with, I'm interested in what makes sense. That's why I correct you -- you don't.

With what is happening in the world today and what has become exposed about Islam, what makes sense is not having a person of Muslim faith running the Oval Office, the highest position in the world. And that's what Ben Carson said. Maybe you would like to see a president spreading Shariah law from the Oval Office, but I will wager that over 90% of Americans agree with Ben Carson, and do not want to see a Muslim as president.

That is plain stupid and the common way of thinking for most conservatives. If you are born in the United States, your religion shouldn't matter. It only matters to those who want to make this country a theocracy and inject their beliefs into our government. That is why Jefferson so intelligently declared "Separation of church and state" - the President should rely on the Constitution and not their own personal beliefs. Theocracy is how third countries are run.....into the ground.....and conservatives would turn this country into a third world country in a NY second with their religious extremists, radically charismatic and uninformed candidates.

God help us if someone like Huckabee should get elected.....he has his owned skewed version of what the Bible says.

Religion shouldn't matter. Unless it's Huckabee. Then totally.

Yeah, unfortunately for your wet dream, here in the real world a POTUS cannot "spread Sharia law", "spread Biblical law", "spread Flying Spaghetti Monster law" or anything else. We've got what we call "branches" of government that operate in what we call "checks and balances". Maybe you were out sick that day in fourth grade.

Obama sure did!

Depending on your view of liberation theology, Obama.

 

[bripat9643]

Agreed. Even a Satanist can run.

True. And will never get elected. It's that simple.

And neither will a Muslim. But there is nothing wrong with a candidate to point out their opinion that they disagree with having a Muslim as president.

Why are you trying to morph what the speaker said?

He says "we" -- not "he", "we" should not put a member of a given religion in the Presidency. He said a certain religion is inconsistent with the Constitution.

If he wants to walk that back, that will be HIS job --- not yours.

Yes, he has said that Islam is not compatible with, and he is correct. Maybe it isn't the politically correct thing to say, but not all religions are equal.

Sorry Heinz but the Constitution says they are. Now you wanna rewrite that too?

No it hasn't, dumbass. It only says that government will not favor one over another.

It's reality... you think if Obama had campaigned on amnesty, government healthcare, open borders, antisemitism and giving Iran billions to build nukes he would have won?

We dont need another mindless president like the community organizer being an islamic sympathizer and apologist.

But thanks anyway....

There's a difference between saying you're not going to vote for an Evangelical and saying Evangelicals should not be allowed to have office. I think you'd have a hard time finding many who support the latter.

He doesn't. It's up to the checks and balances to work by checking and balancing.
