Critics Are Shredding Ben Carson For His 'Asinine' Comment About Muslims

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson is catching flak for arguing that a person of Muslim faith should not occupy the Oval Office.

Carson, a leading Republican presidential candidate who often references his Christian faith, ignited the controversy Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press."

Carson said Islam is inconsistent with the Constitution and that he would not "advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation."

That comment infuriated at least two of Carson's rivals in the 2016 race. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) criticized Carson at length in a subsequent Fox News interview.

"This shows that Dr. Carson is not ready to be commander-in-chief," Graham declared. "Mr. Carson may be a good doctor but he is not ready to lead a great nation."

Graham also argued that Carson should apologize to Muslims who serve in the US armed forces.

Islam is incompatible with freedom.

‘Graham also argued that Carson should apologize to Muslims who serve in the US armed forces.’

But only those who haven’t tried and succeeded in killing their fellow soldiers or going over to the enemy.

Linda Graham: Just another Southern bigot, criticizing a black man.

When will you stop oppressing the Black people of the South, Mr. Graham? How long, how long for Justice!?

The correct answer is “I’m against ever electing another liberal democrat for president again. If you can find me a Muslim who isn’t a liberal democrat and is wan’t to be president, we’ll talk about it then.”

Sodomy is normal for muslims. Walid Shoebat stated that the Saudis prefer boys for sexual recreation. These sexist cultures are like the Samurai and the Spartans-—where women are segregated and males/boys are the preferred company. Boy harems are normal-—and since it is learned and embedded behavior-—the adults usually prefer boys over men-—for “macho” males are emasculated if they take on the submissive/passive “role” so boys are used.

Christian and Orthodox Jewish Ethics is the enemy of both-—which condemns the practice always.

Muslims are sodomites (and Linda loves that!!!! He is validated.)-—they just don’t celebrate “homosexual” “Marriage” because like the Greeks knew (although sodomites), the culture would die if you didn’t force the males to associate and bind with women. That is why the Greeks actually forced the boys to give up sodomy at 18 until after they married and produce a child.

Spartans (the pure sodomite culture in Greece) actually didn’t allow the males to “live” with their wives until after age 30. They had to stay in barracks until then. Athenians detested the evil lifestyle of Spartans.....don’t believe the sodomites in Hollywood. Leonidas was having sex with a male or boy before their battle in 300. (Hollywood lies about most things (all to create the proper “Perceptions” of the ignorant masses) unless it is made by a Christian like Capra and Mr Smith Goes to Washington. Only movies that portray the “Truth” (Christian Worldview) are suppressed and demeaned in “Hollywood” and MSM.

Graham is showing how politically correct he is. That ought to lower his already dismal poll numbers. Maybe he will drop out once they hit zero.

There is no religious test for any office in this country. And “so help me God” and/or the bible, is at the oathers discretion.

They *STILL* don’t get it.

Pandering to identity groups in this election is a BIG LOSER!

Linda’s numbers don’t have too far to fall to get to zero, so I surmise they will get there sooner, now.

Carson agrees with me on this point.

Funny thing, I don’t recall us electing a Japanese President anytime after Pearl Harbor...

And even FDR had sense enough to side with the USA instead of using his office on endless pro- Japanese outreach and aid.

Obama has done the equivalent of that basically.

Nothing is preventing a congenital liar, a thief, a blackmailer and probable murderer (Vince Foster anyone?) like Hilary Clnton from running for president, but that doesn't mean you should vote for her.
As usual, Ted Cruz is right.

Ben Carson is a much cleverer and more conniving individual than I thought Chuckle!

Explains exactly why Linda Graham is stuck at less than 1% in the polls. Stupidity is doing the same time thing over and over again and expecting different results.
