The reason why we mainly have CHRISTIANS in office ( not only the Presidency ) is because there is a CLEAR DELINEATION between God and Cesar.

America is a country founded by MOSTLY Christians who took this principle and formed our constitution and government.

I doubt if a country founded by Muslims would have ever formed something like the United States of America.

Another off-point comment, totally unnecessary.

The issue in our country is FAR from a theocracy. The issue is the feds squelching Christianity and freedom of speech.

All Carson had to say is that a muslim who believes in any form of sharia law would be unable and unfit to abide by the US constitution. It’s really that simple. The sharia garbage BS is a religious constitution of it’s own and has no place in America.

Ted Cruz criticized Dr Carson over the Muslims remarks because Ted Cruz said he was a constitutionalists. Ted Cruz shouldn’t have said much about the Constitution because neither Obama nor himself are eligible for the presidency as both are not natural born citizens (neither am I btw). We live in a post constitutional/post patriotic America. We need to have the Constitution restored as much as possible, but ineligible Ted Cruz should be careful criticizing Dr. Carson, who is eligible to be President under our largely ignored sacred document.

He said more but he definitely said that. The PC-obsessed media instead seized upon his initial statement (and I paraphrase) that a Muslim should not be president.

Ridiculous. Atheists and agnostics are not an analogue for shariah practicing Muslims

He should have couched it that way making it clear that someone born a muslim could still be a rejector of sharia and a complete believer of America and our Constitution. Thereby making him acceptable if the American people wanted to elect him/her, which thankfully they probably wouldn't IMO. Anyone is welcome to run for anything in a democracy except for felons and foreigners. It's the people's votes that are the decider and that's the way it should be.

I wonder what moral system Ben would prefer as a basis for law.

Liberals think we're being taken down the tubes by a recent shift toward theocracy. They believe Christians are taking away all these "rights" they think always existed (free abortions, gayness of everything, wealth to those who don't work, etc.). They think the US used to be a liberal utopia, and the only recently religious nuts took away all their rights.

There are good Muslims and there are moderate Muslims. But there are no good, moderate Muslims. To be a good Muslim, you have to accept sharia. As long as sharia remains a part of Islam, Islam will be incompatible with the United States.

Political Correctness bending over backwards to not offend Muslims....Islam 101; Most U.S. mosques don't let women use the front door, while some don't let women in at all.

If it wasn’t for Joe Kennedy’s ties with the mob Johnny wouldn’t have been elected either. There was a lot of anti-catholic rhetoric flowing during that campaign and you see how long Camelot survived.

Cruz is indeed natural born. There are three categories of citizenship status mentioned in the constitution. Aliens, naturalized citizen, and natural born.

If you are a citizen, and did not go through a naturalization process, you are natural born. You cannot point to anything else in the constitution saying differently.

I agree, all I’m saying is I could have been born to a family of cannibals let’s say. That doesn’t preclude me from renouncing cannibalism and excepting Jesus thereby becoming a born again Christian.

The same conversion is absolutely possible for a muslim born person. It’s up to the voters to sort it out at that point.

The US Constitution. He said he did not want a theocracy. I do not either.
