Islamist Group CAIR Calls on Ben Carson to Withdraw from Presidential Race
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 9/20/15 | Kristinn Taylor

Posted on 09/20/2015 6:01:28 PM PDT by blueyon

The Council on American-Islamic Relations, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2004 Holy Land Foundation terror-funding case, announced on Sunday the group will be calling on Dr. Ben Carson to drop out of the race for the Republican Party presidential nomination over Carson’s statement he would not support having a Muslim as U.S. president.

Carson made his statement in an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday morning, explaining he does not believe the values of Islam are consistent with the Constitution of the United States. CAIR made the announcement in a press release (excerpted below) sent out Sunday afternoon on PR Newswire.

“On Monday, September 21 (at 11 .am.), 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.

Would it be racist to tell A-rabs to go pound sand?

Carson needs to stand his ground. It is not that he thinks a Muslim cannot be president if he could defend the Constitution. It is just that he questions whether a Muslim could in fact defend the constitution.

Obama is a president that should have been impeached a long time ago if we had real statesmen and women in Congress. If Obama has to put up with many of the people of the US making fun of him, then he can consider himself lucky.

Members of CAIR should return to their countries of origin.

I call for the Islamist group CAIR to withdraw from American soil. Actually, I’d prefer if they got off the entire planet.

In a society less uninformed, CAIR’s criticism would be worth a minimum 10 point bump in the polls.

Moslems can’t be, because of the Koran’s dictates to them, good Americans, much less POTUS!

Odd how we never read about anyone or any group insisting that a Dem step down.

Remember Trent Lott had to give up a position because he wish Strom Thurmond well on his birthday?

Newspapers were running polls.
It was relentless.

Yet Former Klansman Robert Byrd dropped two N-Bombs on National TV and....crickets.

Basically C.A.I.R. IS the Muslim Brotherhood as I understand it. They are terrorists, and shouldn’t be allowed to participate in anything within our borders. They should all be ejected from this country quite unceremoniously.

“Members of CAIR should return to their countries of origin.”

Well, YEWS!

We should FORCE them to return!

I think the biggest problem is that “kill the infidels” part.

If we look at the countries that have Muslim leaders, we do not see a government most of us want to live under.
