We certainly should follow the example of all the Islamic countries that have set up democratic constitutional republics that are even better than our own, all of which would be more than willing to elect a president who happened to be Christian or belong to any other religious faith other than Islam. After all, most of the freedoms and minority protections that we tried to enshrine in our constitution were actually rooted in Sharia law, so I can certainly see no reason why a devout member of a religion like Islam - who has a lifelong devotion to democratic principles like free speech and protecting the rights of women, minorities, and individuals in general - should have any problem taking an oath of office in our country to "protect and defend" a constitution that does the same.

Besides, what is the right afraid of if we had a Muslim president?

What? Are they worried that:

* A radical Islamic government, like Iran, might someday get a nuclear weapon?

* Our ally, Israel, would be antagonized?

* The president might say things like "the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam" or "the sweetest sound I know is the Muslim call to prayer".

* Radical Islamists, knowing the president's ideology and thus unafraid of U.S. reprisals, would begin a genocide against Christians in the Middle East?

* Millions of Christians and Secular Muslims would begin a mass migration to Europe and other countries, including our own, as they fled persecution from the emboldened, more powerful, and more numerous radical elements in their own country.

Geez - get real folks, nothing like that would happen if we had a Muslim president.

And yes, this post, much like my underwear, is tagless, and also requires some attribution (thanks RL) for the "what if" comments

The man is right at least about the scourge of Islam.. Muslims are too devout to rule a secular country. Muslims do not assimilate because they think their religion is the only true religion.

THEN WHAT ABOUT A JEW from Middle East...and in that case Ben Carson too unfit like Muslims because he is a Black... his forebear once slaves from Africa...

This is strictly about the incompatibility of Sharia with the US Constitution.
You cannot be a Muslim and not believe that Islamic Law should not be the law of the land.

According to the just-released survey of Muslims, a majority (51%) agreed that “Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to shariah.” 

More than half (51%) of U.S. Muslims polled also believe either that they should have the choice of American or shariah courts, or that they should have their own tribunals

Nearly a quarter of the Muslims polled believed that, “It is legitimate to use violence to punish those who give offense to Islam by, for example, portraying the prophet Mohammed.”

And that is why They must leave America.
Those that subscribe to making this country Islamic must leave they are un American.
We live under the US Constitution and perhaps it's time to have a Loyalty Oath again.
My family took one at the time of the American Revolution and at the end of the Civil War.
So it's nothing new.

THEN WHAT ABOUT A JEW from Middle East...and in that case Ben Carson too unfit like Muslims because he is a Black... his forebear once slaves from Africa..

What about Jews from the Middle East. If you have a problem with Dr. Carson race that's your racist problem.

Finally, Carson says something I agree with. Other than that, Carson is a Jesus freak, religious nut who wants others to practice his religion or a religion. He himself is not fit to be a president of the USA.

I think Carson is just appeasing American zionists in a desperate attempt to get their votes. . .

Then you Sir do not understand the problem with the incompatibility of the US Constitution and Shsria Law.

Do you think the miniscule amount of Jewish American votes makes any difference in a general election?

Their votes on where the money goes. . .

But then, any spin to support zionism.

If you understand the electoral college system then the answer is yes in a close election. They can be the swing vote in states with a large number of electoral votes and that could affect the election results. The same is true of other minorities as well. Since minorities tend to live in the states with larger populations this is a phenomenon that must be addressed. This aids minorities in getting fairer representation, especially since politicians cater to groups that help get them elected. Further, Jews tend to vote in great numbers. Take that, Ann Coulter.

"I think" is a paradox with you.

Yo Admiral, lay off the stupid pills...they make you look very stupid. Well, maybe you are even without the pills.

Actually Carson is being a patriotic American.

If he takes on Muslims now, what stops him from taking on another religious groups in future. Like Jews. . .

If Jews crashed planes into the World Trade Center he would have a point. But then again I deal with facts not fanciful fairytales. Thanks for your newly concern about Jews.

I am concerned for all people. Jews included.

I reserve the right to criticise the actions and policies of zionism.

PS. You seem to have missed my criticism of Hamas and my suggestion that they get the UN to come in and remove all weapons and missiles from Gaza. . . To walk the line of non violent protest.

You are just blinded by your desire to criticise of you deliberately lie for your cause.

And I support those who push for the decent treatment of the abused Arab population under the control of Israel.

"Even your avatar is despicable"?

You mean a photo of an IDF soldier abusing a young Palestinian boy.

I suspect that you hate that anyone points out the facts of the Israeli occupation. . .

So transparent.

PS. If you watch for ho many posts people make. . . Check out the zionist troll eric whose total is approaching 50,000. . . Just earning a living I understand. . . And he calls himself a rabbi as he defends the abuse of Arabs under Israeli contr9ol.

Sure you are, your obsessive anti-Israel ranting reflect your true love and respect for Jews. LOL

"their faith was inconsistent with American principles"?

Nice line of democracy he believes in. . .

Crashing planes into skyscrapers is not inline with democracy.

LOL

The people who did 911 do not represent a religious group. . .

They are criminals and should be brought to justice.

There you go again - posting stupid posts......must be the pills you are taking.

They were not criminals they were terrorist, jihadist, acting on their faith respected and honored amongst their fellow co-religonist

"They were not criminals"?

You seem to suggest that terrorists can't be criminals.

Such a cretin.

If you wish to diminish their terrorist actions to that of a common criminal that's you cretin prerogative.

Not happy with working with the facts, you seem to be keen to put words in peoples mouths. Words they never said. . .

So zionist hasbara troll 101 of you.

You obviously have issues with calling the 911 Islamic terrorist "terrorist" and wish to make their actions more palatable to the American public by calling them criminals, good luck with that approach. Now try and stay on topic: America, Muslims and Dr Carson, and not your conspiratorial hallucinations about Zoinist hasbaha hiding under you bed, pathetic.

You are an admiral? The navy makes stupid people admirals? Holy mowlee...US Navy is really in trouble now.

I am not an admiral.

Only an idiot would think so.

But then, you seem to think I claim to be one.

Then you must be a Rear end of an Admiral.

I agree with Mr. Carson here, it would not be very wise, it is not very wise, Obama is already supporting them, if he's not really one himself down at heart, after all, Obama said, "we are no longer a christian nation, we are a muslim nation,"

Stating the obvious, but someone had to say it (noone else had the guts to challenge the thought police of political correctness in the mass media :)

There is nothing in the constitution that prohibits decisions based on one's religion. Take a closer look.

So it doesn't matter to you if the president is islamist?

Or a zionist?

An American President living in America. How can they be Zionists?

Not long ago you would of been a slave in the US ...now you're running for president.

I find it ironic that you're now insulting Muslims.

After all, the slavers were Muslims who thought the black Africans were not people and just merchandise to sell.

Since slavery is still accepted in Islam, he can say what he wants.

Idiot. Joe Lieberman is an orthodox Jew and he was Al Gore's VP running mate. They happened to receive more votes than Bush, but lost via the Electoral College. What trolls we get.

You said the public wouldn't trust them. Lieberman and Gore got over 500,000 more votes than Bush and Cheney. I don't think the Electoral College vote affects the invalidity of your claim.

Dr. Carson all the way
