Republican presidential hopeful Ben Carson is standing by his view that a Muslim should not be president of the United States, telling The Hill in an interview on Sunday that whoever takes the White House should be sworn in on a stack of Bibles, not a Koran.

Carson ignited a media firestorm in a Sunday morning interview with Chuck Todd on "Meet the Press," in which he said he would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation.
I absolutely would not agree with that, Carson said.
In an interview with The Hill, Carson opened up about why he believes a Muslim would be unfit to serve as commander in chief.
The question of a Muslim in the White House is beyond dumb! Designed by media leftists to hamstring conservatives. Who gives a rats ass about such a hypothetical? Who cares about a situation that will never happen? Ben Carson should have laughed at the idiot and said, “Please ask me a serious question about the condition of this country.”
Stupid questions should never be answered.
I have always liked Ted. But his appearance on Cavuto today was disturbing.
FIGHT BEN FIGHT!!! You are RIGHT!! DON”T BACK DOWN....EXPAND WHAT MUSLIMS LIVE BY..SHARIA LAW!!!
“I am constitutionalist,
His Constitutionalism must have deserted him when he voted for the Corker monstrosity.
Carson should also say....”If we ever elected a Muslim President, we would have CHAOS in the Middle East”!
Ask him why he did.
He also could have asked a rhetorical question in response...
“Have any muslims ever run for president?”
Exactly...Just because it’s asked doesn’t mean it deserves an answer. Ben should have said “That’s dumb! I can’t answer it and besides it has nothing to do with the issues.”
Uh oh, you what they will call you then:
I know that Sen. Cruz had already said the part that you bolded but did he now say the first part that you left unbolded? If so I don't agree with that at all.
There are NO “good” muslims. There may be non-violent (for the moment) muslims but .... No one adhering to that goat humping child raping moon god worshiping death cult is “good”
Keep at it, Ben. Strong but silent type.
I heard him being interviewed about a week ago and he stated he fought the bill’s passage. I kid you not.
A converted Muslim like Mia Love (R) could be excepted.

Ali al-Ahmed, a leading Saudi scholar and the director of the Institute for Gulf Affairs, put it bluntly in Foreign Policy magazine. Blacks, who make up around 10 percent of the population, are banned from judgeships as are women and Muslims who observe a different version of the faith because the monarchys religious tradition still views blacks as slaves, other Muslims as heretics, and women as half human. There is only one word to describe such a system: Apartheid.
Is this what the media and Ben Carsons conservative critics want him to endorse? Islamic Apartheid? Racial inferiority? Sharia slavery?
Is this what tolerance looks like today.
Muslims don’t have a day of rest at all.
The first part came from another thread on this issue, and he said the same with Neil.
However, he took some sharp shots at Obama and Islam in general.
I stand with Carson on the Muslim issue as to POTUSA. However I part with Carson as to the south of the border invaders issue. My choice (s) for POTUSA are narrowing and putting me on hold.
