Islam does not add to our national character, Romney!
Dude! Quit digging!
One word — taqiyya.
He probably had a bad day with his consultants when he made the original statement - likely from his truefelt heart. However, his consultants have now had the time to show their lack of willingness to fight back about insane PC and have convinced him he has to fix this somehow. This is their brilliant move.
Dude! Quit digging!

I don’t know. I think Trumpand Carson are trying to grab media attention away from the “surging” Carly.
I was talking to a man this morning at work and he said he is supporting Carson. Go figure.
CAIR says he must step down, since when did a muzzie group run USA elections. WE decide who we don’t want by not funding them in the primaries.
The only thing we have to fear is the RINOS choosing a RINO to run.
GIVE ONLY TO YOUR CANDIDATE, TELL THE RNC TO GO SHOVE IT WHERE THE SUN DOESN’T SHINE.
Carson should just hold firm with what he said.
And Carson takes a bow out from any slim chance at the nomination. One has not backed down. Hint: He’s leading the pack, followers should take note.
Don’t start drifting.
Mark Levin ATTACKS media, CAIR for smearing Ben Carson over Muslim question

No, that is an excellent riposte. It forces the ignorant to learn the issue, and undercuts the happy commissar “diversity is our strength” crowd.
Besides, with Bishop Willard against you, you are going in the right direction.
Carson was right the first time. Islam is incompatible with freedom and democracy. Muslims lie to infidels in accordance with their religious teachings. Carson will only weaken himself by now qualifying his statement.
LOL - to denounce Sharia would require the person to not be a muslim
Good!

I agree. I thinks it’s an excellent caveat. It brings out the evil tenants of Sharia Law. People need to know. The Carson team has a strategy.
This is EXACTLY the kind of mistake Trump has avoided.
Trump’s answer would have been something like: “Until Islam reforms in the way of other major religions have long ago and is able to separate religion from politics, I cannot support a Muslim for president.”
Of course Islam doesn’t see a need to reform, so his statement would have been a double-down, but with a further explanation and way for Islam (however futile) to get on his good side. But then Carson is no Trump.
Honestly, with all the evil crap that Islam has perpetrated, I don’t see how any reasonable person can embrace the religion. As such, I don’t think a Muslim belongs in the Whitehouse any more than I think a NAZI belongs in the Whitehouse. This is a bunch of PC BS.
I like him, have always admired him, way before he started this run. That being said, I would prefer a lot of others way before him.
I would love to see him be put on the cabinet with the mandate to oversee the dismantling of Obamacare. It's his new calling IMHO
This is a rather pointless backtrack. He said faith is important, but he would support someone who didn’t take their faith seriously.
He would support a Muslim who didn’t believe in the basic tenets of their faith????
In other words as long as they are a FAKE MUSLIM, then he could support them. If they are willing to pretend to be a FAKE Muslim, then maybe they could be a real Muslim faking to be a Fake Muslim.
The fact of the matter is that as long as a Person is a follower of Mohammed and the Koran, they should not be trusted with the office of the Presidency.
I really liked Ben Carson’s unscripted answer about Islam.
I really don’t like his mealy mouthed backtracking.
The ten points he earned before have been subtracted - and then some.
Any gains he made by being honest have been undone by his new statement that he would support a dishonest Muslim as long as they are dishonest.
You’re exactly right. Even a renouncing of Sharia means nothing.
