Ben Carson Says Muslims Should Be Disqualified From Presidency

[NYcarbineer]

Why would it be? Keith Ellison is a Muslim congressman. Should he be denied access to classified information? Should he be removed from office for security reasons?

With his pen and his phone Obama took the country to war on his own, without Congressional approval to do so to help al qaeida take over Libya. He also just completely by-passed Congress, violating the Constitution to do so, to give Iran a pathway to getting nukes. Don't think I want a full blown Muslim having that kind of power. Of course, I would like to think Americans would not let that happen.... Right....

It was predicted that America would never be defeated but would instead collapse from within, like every other 'great' 'empire'. Rome is burning folks, and the fires have been set from within...

Rome's fall led to Italy being the cradle of Christianity. You're telling us now that was a bad thing?

Actually Rome's fall led to the Irish rechristianizing and trivializing Europe

Ranch or Blue Cheese?

They used to say negroes should be disqualified for president.......where does that leave Carson?

They of course being Democrats... until the Republicans brought them kicking and screaming into the twentieth century with the civil rights act.

An act you disagree with.

Interesting take from the "no Christians need apply" crowd...

******* loons.

Name a President that wasn't a Christian.

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.

Quote ten posters saying that Christians should be banned from public office.

The PC Police always get so pissy when I point out their behaviors, and especially when I refer to Islam as "the PC-protected religion".

And then a thread like this comes along.

What's "PC" about disagreeing with people who think Muslims should be banned from holding office?

Hates the constitution, wants sharia law.

IOW, a perfect choice for the RW traitors.

Leftwingers are the ones who don't have a problem with Sharia. They keep telling us that Islam should be treated with respect.

The Right has its own ideas for a Sharia of their own .. Christian Sharia.

Over 200 years of US history we see no sign of a Christian Sharia.

The left tries to constantly fraudulently equivocate Islam and Islamic behavior with Christianity. That pig won't fly.

Plenty of signs.. Do you remember how long gay marriage was banned for? How one party wants to control women's bodies? Keep gays out of the military? Women?

Gay marriage has been considered an abomination for the last two years in the U.S. And before that for 5000 years. Are you seriously complaining THAT to the barbarism in Shariah law? Ho ho ho what a ******* moron.

You claim;
"Gay marriage has been considered an abomination for the last two years in the U.S."
Actually, I would say it's been just a tad longer than that. Is that from a secular perspective or a canonical POV you're speaking from? The answer is, obviously, the latter of the two just as with Islamic law, Sharia! The canonical law of a Christian, a Jew and a Muslim are the same in that respect and are held fast by the fundamentalists of those faiths, with some being "more faithful" than others!

You seem afraid, very afraid, of the possibility of Sharia & its Courts here in the US. We may share a common concern, but I'm not as one sided as you seem to be, but lets see! How about Jewish Law Courts and Rabbinical Courts that are already existing here in the US? Do you not fear those religious courts? I don't believe those civil law courts established by fundamentalist Jewry and Mosaic law are in harmony with the establishment clause either, but they exist. So are you going to be just as strident against those EXIXTING JEWISH LAW & COURTS (BETH DIN) AS YOU ARE AGAINST THE NON-EXISTENT ISLAMIC LAW & COURTS (SHARIA) AND PERHAPS SHOW ALL A HYPOCRITICAL, BIGOTED SIDE?

Well, considering I was like 2 at the time.... I wasn't aware... but as a Republican, I stand by what my party did.... it was the right thing to do. Too bad you Democrats went along so begrudgingly.

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.

Really? Cause you guys are too stupid to figure out the difference when Carson says he won't vote for a Muslim.

It's his bigotry against the Muslim religion that is the issue here. It's comparable to anti-Semitism. Ironically, it's comparable to racism wherein someone says they wouldn't vote for a black person for President.

Hard to imagine a candidate for President in 21st century America could make such a statement based on religion

You can't make this stuff up

 

[NYcarbineer]

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

Please define an 'American Muslim'.

Do you mean American citizen born here who happens to be a Muslim...like Fort Hood terrorist Major Nidal Hasan from Arlington County, Va?

Or are you talking about naturalized Muslim Americans, like Dzhokhar Anzorovich "Jahar" Tsarnaev, a Kyrgyzstani-America, perpetrator of the Boston Marathon bombing?

Or are you talking about one like Obama who takes the country to war on his own without authorization from Congress to help Al Qaeida take over Libya?


Liberals are so perplexing yet amusing. Disagree with an Obama policy and you are a 'Racist'. Show any concern for national security after repeated attacks under Obama by Muslims on US soil and after ISIS declares it intends to infiltrate refugee ranks with its fighters to come here and wage terrorism on the US on US soil and they label you an 'Islamaphobe'.

There have been more attacks by rightwing terrorists with no connection to Islam on Obama's watch than there have been Muslim attacks.

You're nutz.... seriously nutz.

Ok, I'll name rightwing non-Muslim terror attacks on US soil since Obama became president and you list Muslim extremist terrorist attacks,

and we'll see who runs out of attacks first.

I'll start here:

Sure is touching to see the passion being put into defense by the Left of a religion like Christianity.

No liberal in this thread says that being Christian automatically disqualifies a person from getting his vote.

Carson is saying that being a Muslim automatically disqualifies that person from getting his vote.

I've been saying it, the GOP is truly ******* insane.
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.

Ben Carson has my vote.

How can any American that loves freedom possibly think it would be a good idea to elect a Muslim into office?

it's not hard to imagine how stupid you libtards are......sharia law is anti-constitutional....so if a muslim took office there would be hell to pay.......oh wait....

Yeah, I know.... LBJ... who was a raging racist loon. Here's a great LBJ teachable moment:

Lyndon Baines Johnson 1963... "These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference... I'll have them ******* voting Democratic for the next two hundred years"

And then there's this regarding Thurgood Marshall:

"Son, when I appoint a ****** to the court, I want everyone to know he's a ******."
