Here’s something to consider.

I agree with your take on Obama and his overall impact, being a closet Muslim.

Imagine if he were overt about it. Good grief, worse than this!

Ah, no thanks.

Cruz is correct about the Muslim religious question, but don’t you have to be an actual ‘American’ to be President ?

Carson’s explained this in 12 different languages. He said and meant that the Islamic religion is incompatible with our government and Constitution and it is.

Is that ok, Ted?

How does one separate their faith (what they believe) from their public policy? How exactly does that work Mr. Cruz?

One can focus on the public policy record, and that will do just fine.

That record will reflect the faith or lack thereof of the person involved.

Look at Obama's record, for instance.

Cruz' artful answer just showed how a person supporting Sharia, for instance, could be excluded by virtue of their support for Sharia as a matter of policy, without bringing their religious beliefs into the mix.

He really needs to let this subject drop.

This is talking about the same interview they were reporting on this past Monday or Tuesday. It has just taken this guy that long to contribute his 2 cents worth.

gee we might have to count on the COMMON SENSE of the American voter to exclude a Mohammadem from the office of President

we might even have to count on the COMMON SENSE of the American voter to exclude a Mohammadem from the office .... that Openly Proudly Islamic Keith Ellison currently holds....

The Founders were counting on a populace unafraid to use the brain that God gave them

There's no religious test required to run for office.

And, there's nothing there that says that I have to vote for a muslim either. If they don't like it, tough shit.

If muslims have a problem with that, I would say move to country that is more accommodating to them, like somewhere in europe.

Ted is correct as far as he went.

But the President takes the following oath:

Oath of Office for President of the United States

US Constitution, Article II, Section 1

Before he enter on the execution of his office, he shall take the following oath or affirmation: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

Is it possible for a Muslim to take that oath and defend the Constitution of the US? This is the issue.

Speaking of that, wasn’t Obamas botched and subsequently conducted in private?

I believe a site called Avalon has all those individual Constitutions...on the web.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Generally, state Constitutions were written during the Revolutionary war, before even the Articles of Confederation.

If the founding fathers were devout Christians, establishing a nation on Christian principles and values, I would expect they never dreamed of the day that a muslim would occupy the highest office in the land. Or any other office, for that matter.

I don’t see how a devout muslim could love The Great Satan.

claims that it is unconstitutional to exclude a Muslim from the presidency

He is right.

What so many in this discussion (not here, but in general) are confusing is a basic understanding of the Constitution:

The Constitution limits what the government can do, not what 'We the people can do'.

Yes, yes, that is a simplistic, yet idealistic version.

But...it’s a political/governmental cult that masquerades as a religion.

Yo Ted! Islam isn’t a religion, it’s a political movement.

And that is what Dr Carson said. We should not vote for an observant Muslim to be president. Such a person should not be president. I don’t know what is controversial about that.
