He’s intentionally causing a controversy to keep his name in the news on a subject that the conservative base agrees with him on. He’s learning from Trump. He probably is a very fast learner.
Ah, now I get it. I was confused by the issue’s utter irrelevance to the presidential campaign.
To my uncreative mind, the reasoning went:

2. Voters may decide against a candidate because he is Moslem, if they wish.
3. There is no Moslem running for President.
He's telling the truth.
Liberals can't handle the truth.
