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 is wise.

So basically, Democrats support cop-killers and Muslims.

I can see why there are so many people that live outside of the United States that support Obama.

 

[mudwhistle]

Right after 9/11 if you had said you supported a Muslim for president you would have gotten your ass beaten to a pulp.....especially in NYC.

Now liberals actually think it's racist to not want a Muslim president.

So you are cool with cops being killed as long as they are White Christians?

How very Hilter of you.

Except that we're a nation founded by Christians and Jews, you'd be correct. Then again, you being correct is like finding twin unicorn feathers

Funny, you read from a book (the bible) that mentions Unicorns no less than 8 times. so you are saying the Bible isn't true?


Numbers 23:22 “God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.”
Numbers 24:8 “God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.”
Job 39:9 “Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?”
Job 39:10 “Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?”
Psalms 29:6 “He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.”
Psalms 92:10 “But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.”
Deuteronomy 33:17 “His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.”
Psalms 22:21 “Save me from the lion’s mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.”
Isaiah 34:7 “And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.”

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

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.

 

[Statistikhengst]

In other words, it's plain common sense. Muslims view America as the enemy.

Was Carson talking about Muslims that live in the ME? FYI, Muslims that live in America are American citizens.......and unless you can provide some facts (and not some fabricated myth from Briebart NN source) proving that every Muslim views America as the enemy, you are full of corn flakes.

Muslims have been in America for as long as any other religion.

Jefferson kept a Koran and the Prophet Mohammad is on the Frieze in the Supreme Court.

What utter crap. Jefferson red the Quran for the same reason that liberal professors read Mein Kampf. He wasn't because he thought it contained any wisdom. He wanted to know what made his enemy tic.

There were probably 5 Muslims in this country when the Constitution was ratified. They probably all worked on whaling vessels.

Even an old time clock is right maybe twice a day, and this is the case with you right now.

Indeed, Thomas Jefferson, a great Democrat, had no love in his heart for Islam and indeed, he requested to have a Kuran, thinking that there was information within that book to help him deal with islamic piracy on the high seas.

Wow, and you even wrote that without peeing your pants.

There may be hope for you, little breakfast brei boy.

Well no.

Jefferson had no real stomach for war. He tried using diplomacy first. That didn't work.

I think you misunderstood what I wrote...

He didn't suggest a religious test you ignoramus.

he was talking about his OWN vote.

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.

Ben Carson: Muslim should not be elected US president

 

[David_42]

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.

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