Ben Carson has said that it would not be appropriate for a Muslim to be president. I instinctively disagreed with classifying any group of people as unsuited to be president…

…you don't see leaders of the Islamic community standing up and speaking out about the problems in the Islamic world…

That's why Americans are uncomfortable with the idea of a Muslim president, because there is not yet leaders among them who not only speak out about these problems but embrace the idea of religious and social pluralism.

Of course the Islamic leaders aren’t going to speak out against anything - they value their heads. If you like your head - you can keep your head.
Yup, that’s basically what Ed Straker is saying: No muslim leader has any courage to embrace the social pluralism. Thus, no American will vote for any of these muslim leaders.
My favorite thing about Islam is its acceptance and celebration of the gay lifestyle.
No, no, no, you’re doing it wrong! :)
We conservatives must somehow pit the muslims and the homos against each other so they’ll cancel each other out.

Now that is funny! So, the Muslim’s stance would be - if you like your gay lifestyle - you can’t keep your gay lifestyle?
I do.
It's really simple. Islam is in conflict with the Constitution. The President is sworn to uphold the Constitution.
Kennedy’s Catholicism was a huge issue. The way it seems to me after all this time, and I don’t remember the election, is that his looks, his father’s deal and his wife along with Nixon sweating like a bullet on tv helped him. Some say there was a gore like thing in (some Midwest state) and Nixon said forget it
But kennedys Catholicism was so huge that it’s amazing people have not mentioned it in this fracas. i doubt anyone could tell us another catholic that has made it to this point in an election. Things are different now with abortion being legal. But there are no pro life kennedys making that position known
We should: All three are mostly violent sociopaths.
If we gathered together all their leaders, they’d easily fit onto the field at Jerry World (AT&T Stadium where the Dallas Cowboys play).
We can have them fight to the death, and we can charge Mayweather-v-Pacquiao rates on pay-per-view.
Yep. Muslims have a religious obligation to replace “man’s law” with “God’s law” (Sharia).
Just because they’re sworn to uphold it, doesn’t mean they have to. At least that’s what the current dumba$$ in the WH thinks.
Forgotten in this article is the mistrust and distrust that Islamic laws and values advocate, namely the concept of “Taqqiya”, allowably lying to your enemies to deceive them, discredit them, deny them the truth about a Moslem’s true feelings and allegiances.
Islamic law says that a true Moslem must put Islam and Allah above everything else.
Thus, how can an American Moslem, who claims to be a “true moslem”, be trusted to tell the truth. His religion has poisoned itself and its followers, moderates to extremists and everywhere inbetween.
When moderate Moslems can openly resolve this tactic and psychological warfare tactic, then we might have the beginning of a new America-Moslem dialogue re our politics.
Test: Can you honestly believe anything Rep. Keith Ellison ((D-Minn) says, as well as the other black convert to Islam also in Congress? How do you know they are telling the truth because they proclaim to be “true Moslems”.
It is like asking a Communist whether they will protect our Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic. You know they will lie like a bear-skin rug 24/7. So will “true-believer” Moslems.
That is the problem. Who CAN you trust out of the Moslem population?
No muslim leader can speak out against the terrorists and stay true to their faith. The terrorists and now the refugees are following the world conquest plan as layed out by their koran.
“I instinctively disagreed with classifying any group of people as unsuited to be president…”
I instinctively see anyone who gives an inch in any way to islam, in action or attitude, as either an enemy lover or a quisling, and therefore enemy.
Because they think women are inferior?
Exactly.
Which makes it possible that homobama, if he were a muslim, would be willing to lie about being a Christian in order pull off his ‘long con’ against the American people.
If he were a muslim, we have to give him credit because he was able to get the media to participate with him in his act of Taqqiya.
Though a child, I remember it well! The issue was discussed around the family dinner table: could a Roman Catholic put the Constitution before their allegiance to the Vatican? It seems almost quaint compared to asking whether a Muslim can put the Constitution or rule of law before Sharia Law? The Vatican had no intention of taking over the USA nor to destroy ALL of Western Civilization. Carson was brave to say what he said. It is a death sentence to have done it. However, he ought to be more articulate and say that a Muslim is required to uphold Sharia Law or risk assasination. The West is collapsing for lack of an intelligent and principled defense of its values.
I’m not an enemy lover or a quisling, but I was somewhat like the author when I first heard Carson’s statement, but I suffered more cognitive dissonance.
At first, I thought, “How dare Carson say any person from a group should never be president”.
But as soon as I thought that, in the very next instance, I thought, “Yeah, I don’t see what good it would do to have a muslim be president.”
