Ben Carson: U.S. shouldn't elect a Muslim president

[Aaron]

:laugh: Christians SHOULD be radical. But he's not voicing his non-support as an element of faith. He's objecting based upon politics and his belief that Islam and the Koran run contrary to the Constitution. He's afraid of what he thinks a Muslim will do and he wants other folks to perhaps move to that understanding.

And I wonder why all the folks on the right who scream race baiting aren't screaming Muslim baiting?

His entire premise for his objection seems to teeter on violating the First Amendment.

K rad man. Let's see you put your money where your mouth is. Walk into Iran with your Gospel. We'll see who the Islamaphobe is.

It's the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And it goes wherever HE wants it to go. And for the record, I've walked in Iran with His Gospel and was well received.

The majority of ya only know about Muslims what FOX News indoctrinates you on.

ISLAMOPHOBIC you are.

Is this the same Zaac that won't leave the white suburbs to go into the parts of Atlanta where black people go?

It is certainly the same Zaac that refuses to vote for a Muslim for President and then calls other people Islamaphobic for not doing the same thing.

I find it humorous that Zaac the white guy that likes the "nice" white suburbs and won't go into the parts of town were he might run in to black people because he fears racism "against whites" who got where he is in life due to white privilege...

Some how thinks that he isn't what he calls others. :laugh:

Sure it's an equal comparison. A lot of ya basically claimed his Mormonism wouldn't influence his Presidential decision making. So why would someone's Islam being inconsistent with American values ( and that in itself is a rather Islamophobic blanket type statement to make) affect their Presidential decision making any more than would have Mitt Romney's Mormonism, which a lot of ya claimed as a non-factor?

It's hypocrisy at it's best and goes to show as I said back then, that a lot of folks on here and in the church don't give a flap about morality or what God says, as those convenient convictions take a back seat to winning an election.



Nope.

Sharia law is a very small part of Islam and cannot impact the general public unless someone decides that it trumps the law that's already in place. Large chunks of what's in the Bible is in the Koran. Muslims are much more conservative than are most Americans. Ain't much difference between the values or lack thereof between Muslims and Americans, a lot of who are Muslims.



Should America be concerned with crazed white guys shooting up churches? Should America be concerned with police officers killing unarmed black men? You betcha. But you didn't hear any of the politicians onstage last week mention either or race relations.

The above are far more prevalent than anything a Muslim has done. But I understand that the GOP needs to demonize certain groups in order to keep its base riled up.



No one said it was immoral.



You're obviously confused as I withhold my support based on faith. He does so on politics. if you can't understand the difference, you may want to think about that title in front of your name. :laugh:



As we all know the reason why you and members of the GOP think it's okay to overlook Mitt Romney's Mormonism as an influencing factor, but are totally against a Muslim being President.

The utmost in hypocrisy bathed in ISLAMOPHOBIA.

What's up with the GOP and the Muslim baiting?

 

[Revmitchell]

Rev, you are feeding the trolls of this world! Just a reminder, like the ones you send me when I get sucked into their black hole (space continuum term, not racist).

Now I know that you are liar. Say hi to your dad.

Frankly, I have no trouble voting for either! I say this because everyone I ever vote for loses!

Plus we all know that the people no longer elect the POTUS! It is the Electoral College, which is totally left, like the views being taught at our liberal, state funded colleges! :smilewinkgrin:

I have plenty of leftover clues, do you want some?

Zaac, like I told you, your girl (Hilary) is in serious trouble if she EVER goes up against Carson. :laugh:

BTW, this is Dr. Ben Carson's reply:

The first issue I want to deal with tonight is the stories today about my comments yesterday when I was asked if I would support a hypothetical Muslim candidate for President. I responded “I would not advocate for that” and I went on to say that many parts of Sharia Law are not compatible with the Constitution. I was immediately attacked by some of my Republican peers and nearly every Democrat alive. Know this, I meant exactly what I said. I could never support a candidate for President of the United States that was Muslim and had not renounced the central tenant of Islam: Sharia Law.

Those Republicans that take issue with my position are amazing. 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.

…I also can’t advocate supporting Hillary Clinton either by the way.

...and Carson is currently getting wide spread support on this important issue he raised.
