If Ibrahim Hooper of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has any say in the matter, whoever the next President is, it wont be Ben Carson. He is not qualified to be president of the United States, fumed Hooper, no doubt an unimpeachable authority on who is and is not qualified to be President, on Sunday. You cannot hold these kinds of views and at the same time say you will represent all Americans, of all faiths and backgrounds. What views? Carson said: I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that. He said that this was because Islam contradicted important Constitutional principles.
CAIR, designated a terror organization by the United Arab Emirates, sent out an email Sunday saying it would hold a news conference demanding that Carson withdraw from the presidential race for daring to say these things. Mr. Carson clearly does not understand or care about the Constitution, which states that no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office,' said CAIR top dog Nihad Awad. We call on our nations political leaders across the political spectrum to repudiate these unconstitutional and un-American statements and for Mr. Carson to withdraw from the presidential race.
But the problems with a Muslim being President arent religious, theyre political. Islamic law infringes upon the freedom of speech, forbidding criticism of Islam. Islamic law denies equality of rights to women. Islamic law denies equality of rights to non-Muslims. If a Muslim renounced all this, he or she could be an effective Constitutional ruler, but in todays politically correct climate, no one is even likely to ask for such a renunciation. Instead, no one even acknowledges that these really are elements of Islamic law.
No one, that is, except the Muslim clerics who agree with Carson. Syrian Islamic scholar Abd Al-Karim Bakkar said in March 2009: Democracy runs counter to Islam on several issues .In democracy, legislation is the prerogative of the people. It is the people who draw up the constitution, and they have the authority to amend it as well. On this issue we differ -- because in Islamic thought, only Allah legislates.
Abd Al-Karim Bakkar was reflecting a common view. Pakistan Muslim leader Sufi Muhammad said in May 2009: I would not offer prayer behind anyone who would seek to justify democracy. Mesbah Yazdi, leader of the Shia Taliban in Iran, said in September 2010 that democracy, freedom, and human rights have no place -- in Islam, that is. Australian Muslim cleric Ibrahim Saddiq Conlan said in June 2011: Democracy is evil, the parliament is evil and legislation is evil.
In January 2013, the Saudi Islamic scholar Sheikh Abdul Rahman bin Nassir Al Barrak declared: Electing a president or another form of leadership or council members is prohibited in Islam as it has been introduced by the enemies of Moslems. The idea of popular elections, he said, has been brought by the anti-Islam parties who have occupied Moslem land.
Some Muslims in the West hold these views as well. In April 2015, Muslims in Wales plastered Cardiff with posters reading: Democracy is a system whereby man violates the right of Allah and decides what is permissible or impermissible for mankind, based solely on their whims and desires. This leads to a decayed and degraded society where crime and immorality becomes widespread and injustice becomes the norm. Islam is the only real, working solution for the UK. It is a comprehensive system of governance where the laws of Allah are implemented and justice is observed.
And two Muslim groups in Denmark last June called on Muslims to boycott the elections that were held that month. One explained: We are committed to being active participants in our society, but it has to be on Islams terms, without compromising our own principles and values. Democracy is fundamentally incompatible with Islam, and it is a sinking ship. The Grimshøj mosque in Aarhus agreed, issuing a statement saying that people should stay clear of the voting booths. We have concluded that only Allah can pass laws, as he says himself in the Koran that this is so.
Tunisian author Salem Ben Ammar wrote last month: To hell with democracy! Long live Islam! One hundred percent of Muslims agree with that. To say anything else is apostasy from Islam. These two competing political systems are antithetical to each other. You cant be democratic and be a Muslim or a Muslim and be a democrat. A Jew cant be a Nazi and a Nazi cant be a Judeophile.
Question for Hamas-linked CAIRs Hooper and Awad: are all these Muslims Islamophobes for saying that Islam and democracy are incompatible, or is that honor reserved only for Carson (and other infidels)? And are either or both of you cognizant of the irony of pretending to uphold Constitutional values while demanding that a man drop out of the Presidential race for the crime of exercising his freedom of speech? Are either or both of you aware that you have thereby just become poster children for how correct Ben Carson really was?
Carson was right. But now the media sharks, ever eager to do the bidding of Hamas-linked CAIR and other Islamic supremacists, will be circling and hungry. If he is forced to drop out for saying things CAIR doesnt like, it will be just one more nail in the coffin of the free society that CAIR disingenuously professes to love and support, but which it is actually doing all it can to subvert.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Not only isn't he black enough but now Carson isn't tolerant enough?
What harsh terminology to use in connection with peace loving folks like CAIR.
Hope Ben increases his security detail.
I hope he stands his ground.
His comments have been twisted around to make i sound like he said we can’t have a Muslim president, nope, he said he would not support one. Big difference. He also said he didn’t think it was compatible with our democratic form of government. Correct.
Now let’s see if he has what it takes to stick with that story. He still won’t get my vote. I like Carson a lot but he’s not what we need right now.
Dr Carson gets it..
May God protect this brave American..
My response would be three words:
GO TO HE**!
Carson stepped in it. The Leftist media loves this sideshow.
Western culture and law are totally incompatible with islam, and has been for the last 1300 years. The muslims can whine and cry all they want, but the west will forever reject and shun them. Maybe it’s time to put CAIR in the “crosshairs”.
I second that
Every candidate must stand up and support Carson against CAIR or they will be next.
That’s a real advantageous place for a Republican candidate to be.
Huh? We're embracing these animals like long lost cousins. They're everywhere. I was following one of them recently. He was in a beat up jalopy with no mirror and swerving all over the road while texting on his phone. The lines on the road merely served to point him in the right direction.
And that idiot kerry recently announced his intentions to get 100,000 more of those savages here in 2016.
They're like cockroaches. Once they're here, you're not getting rid of them. And all these pseudo christians will say it's our duty. I guess protecting future generations of Americans doesn't fit their agenda.
A candidate who shows up at a chat show empty-handed is a fool.
Bring charts. Bring papers. Bring video clips you can show on an iPad. Document that CAIR are indisputably the media mouthpieces for terrorism.
Ben gets an A in enemy identification.
The US is in CAIRs Crosshairs
In our former school district, Muslims were excused from saying the Pledge of Allegiance because they said that they would not pledge allegiance to anyone/thing other than Allah.
I’m not sure if that is a widespread tenet of Islam, or only applicable to those who consider themselves the most devout.
The instant a photo of a newly elected U.S. President taking the oath with his hand on the Koran is disseminated, Muslims will rejoice in the streets knowing “The Great Satan” has fallen.
FOADCAIR!
Hey, “Fibrahim”! Lotsa us “infidels” have CWP & range practice. Whatcha got ta say ‘bout that, O Muslim?
“We cannot invade America. There will be a rifle behind every blade of grass.” - attributed to Adm. Yamamoto.
“In America, too many infidels have too many guns. It’s not safe pushing Shariah with all those pistols in all those unbelievers’ pockets.” - what Ibrahim Hooper is thinking.
