Posted on 09/20/2015 11:13:41 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

On Monday, September 21, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation's largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, will hold a news conference at its Capitol Hill headquarters to call on Republican candidate Ben Carson to withdraw from the presidential race for saying today that Islam is "inconsistent" with the Constitution and that a Muslim should not be elected president.

*snip*

"Mr. Carson clearly does not understand or care about the Constitution, which clearly states that 'no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office,'" said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad. "We call on our nation's political leaders – across the political spectrum - to repudiate these unconstitutional and un-American statements and for Mr. Carson to withdraw from the presidential race."

He said this incident demonstrates why the Constitution is needed to protect Americans of all faiths.

Awad noted that in 2011, Herman Cain said he would not appoint a Muslim to his cabinet or as a federal judge if elected president.

CAIR isn’t that influential yet. They just embarrassed themselves.

I take that to mean that Carson is drawing from Carla support...and they REALLY WANT to help concentrate the “anti-trump” people on a SINGLE PERSON.

Unfortunately Carla will not do any better, for them.

CAIR is nothing more than a Jihadi Organization, check their finances, they get money from Hamas and Hezbollah..they should be defined as a terrorist organization

That's what I thought.

I think Carson realizes that Fiorina took some of his poll numbers and he wants them back.

Given our past experience with electing Muslims as President, at least there should be a moratorium before the next one. We should have the first Hindu President, the first Buddhist President, the first Zoroastrian President, the first Jewish President, the first Coptic President, and the first Sikh President before we have the second Muslim President.

Yes. He needs to expose Carly on her post 9/11 comments about Islam. She’s a sell out and I hope her poll numbers go down.

CAIR can take a hike and should be listed as an unAmerican organization.

Looks like you have a political ally in your position regarding the religious test clause.

Disqualified?

Still think so?

THe Constitution or the Koran?

A Republic or a Caliphate?

A gang of assassins or a honorable Corps?

The WH visitor logs contain many names..

And agenda driven cults.

HMMMM? In deed.
