Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson drew the ire of both Democrats and some Republican presidential candidates after saying on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday that he would “not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation.”
Even after the criticism, Carson refused to walk back his comment, although he did offer more clarification.
"Those Republicans that take issue with my position are amazing," he wrote in a Facebook statement. "Under Islamic Law, homosexuals – men and women alike – must be killed. Women must be subservient. And people following other religions must be killed. I know that there are many peaceful Muslims who do not adhere to these beliefs. But until these tenants are fully renounced ... I cannot advocate any Muslim candidate for President."
And to be fair, he told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that he wouldn’t advocate putting a Christian in the office if they wanted to turn the country into a theocracy. “We don't put people at the head of our country whose faith might interfere with them carrying out the duties of the Constitution,” he said.
Not only do a number of Americans agree with his comment—based on the amount of money pouring into his campaign since then—but he’s also received support from Dr. Tawfik Hamid, a former Islamic extremist.
“As a Muslim — and particularly as a former member of a radical Islamist group — I can state unequivocally that Dr. Carson is correct,” Hamid wrote in a column. “Without a single exception, the approved Islamic literature teaches violent principles such as killing apostates, beating women, killing gays, and enslaving female war prisoners for sexual purposes.”
“If anyone doubts this, or wishes to challenge it, they need to prove this to be wrong,” he continued, adding that no Islamic texts exist which reject the “traditional barbaric principles of Islamic law.”
“These Shariah values and principles, which are so hostile to the American Constitution, are still an integral part of mainstream Islam,” he noted.
Thus, Carson is absolutely correct.

This shouldn’t be the least bit controversial. Of course Dr Carson was correct.
Muslims don’t come here to be Americans. They come here to CONQUER for Islam.
The only people he upset was the far left and the RINOs. But I repeat myself.
A truly intelligent black man is telling obozo he's on the wrong plantation ... shouldn't be here ... never should have happened.
Liberals don’t have to challenge anything. They don’t have to have any facts to support their arguments.
Liberal just have to call you a racist bigot for raising an inconvenient fact and deny that your facts are facts.
It is a wonderful thing to be a Liberal. The truth is always what you say it is.
Hannity had on his radio some supposed “moderate” muslim. What’s funny is he sounded just like some guy from CAIR. it was taqiyaa on display
Trump,Carson,Cruz... need to start Quoting the Quran and the Hadith, Then watch them try to defend it!
Abu Dawud (4462) - The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Whoever you find doing the action of the people of Loot, execute the one who does it and the one to whom it is done.”.
Qur’an (7:80-84) - “...For ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds.... And we rained down on them a shower (of brimstone)” - An account that is borrowed from the Biblical story of Sodom. Muslim scholars through the centuries have interpreted the “rain of stones” on the town as meaning that homosexuals should be stoned, since no other reason is given for the people’s destruction. (The story is also repeated in suras 27 and 29).
...”Trump,Carson,Cruz... need to start Quoting the Quran and the Hadith, Then watch them try to defend it!”...
Won’t work because most of them don’t read the Koran or know it themselves because they memorize it only in Aramic even if they can’t understand the language.....additionally if a muslim senses you know the Koran better then they do, which again most done; know it...they consider that an insult and slander....not that you know it.
There’s not a single true Muslim who would say that there’s such a thing as a “Moderate” Muslim.....they are either Muslim or they are apostate. Only liberals say there are moderates...Islam never does.
Most of them anyway
There are several good books out by former Muslims who say this very thing. “Heretic” by Ali is one.
Somehow this never seems to get on the MSM.
exactly what that muslim on Hannity showed. They all believe in sharia which makes them all radicals
No kidding. Thomas Jefferson would agree with Ben Carson and for very damn good reason. And as a founder knows more about the Constitution than anyone else alive today armchair quarterbacking it in.
Moderate just means jihad by stealth.
Well I had to think about that a moment because it does matter how we look at the language. ...but yes I would suppose that your right...though their are various means and ways of Stealth Jihad....that would still fall under the umbrella.
As Europe is about to discover...
And this will be ignored out of existence.
Of course he is right. ALL muslims support the worldwide imposition of sharia law. ALL. Most people do not understand that this is the whole point of “the peace of islam”, not conversion to islam. The place sharia law above all other law.
By placing sharia law above the constitution they cannot take the oath of office without committing treason. Ipso facto, no muslim can lawfully be president of the United States.
