September 20, 201511 yr Perhaps I am being too harsh on him, but I do find myself disinclined to give him my vote in most situations. He's not my first choice for sure. I would vote for him over Hillary, however.
September 20, 201511 yr Folks need to read the Quran before answering this question. In Islam, Church and State are one. There is no separation at all. The Quran promotes violence as a means to spread Islam. Muslim teachings and the writings of the Quran are in total conflict with elected leadership in a free society. The Quran's Verses of Violence
September 20, 201511 yr Ben Carson Would Not Support A Muslim Running For President "If it's inconsistent with the values and principles of America, then of course it should matter," he said. "If it fits within the realm of America and is consistent with the Constitution, I have no problem." He said that Islam, as a religion, is incompatible with the Constitution. "I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that," he said. To be a brain surgeon he isn't too well-versed on the Constitution.

The Quran's Verses of Violence 842 violent or cruel passages in the Bible, 333 in the Quran. 30 of the Most Violent Exhortations from the Bible, Torah and Quran | Alternet
September 20, 201511 yr 842 violent or cruel passages in the Bible, 333 in the Quran. 30 of the Most Violent Exhortations from the Bible, Torah and Quran | Alternet The Bible is over 10 times longer than the Quran...not that will matter to most.
September 20, 201511 yr The Bible is over 10 times longer than the Quran...not that will matter to most. Agreed. My point to him was there are violent and cruel passages in both. And I guess some are forgetting about stuff like those little killings of native Americans, especially in South America.
September 20, 201511 yr Agreed. My point to him was there are violent and cruel passages in both. And I guess some are forgetting about stuff like that little Costa Nesta thing. True but the message in the entirety of both, is much different.
September 20, 201511 yr True but the message in the entirety of both, is much different. There are people in every religion who twists their Holy books meaning. I know Muslims who are much more tolerant than many Christians that I know. Most don't take the time to pray like others in their religion, only thing they follow to a T is their fasting days.
September 20, 201511 yr I got news for you, it may not be PC to say that in public, but I GUARANTEE you if a person like that was on the ballot(and it was common knowledge), he or she would never get elected. I agree. Tolerance isn't something we practice well in the USA.
September 20, 201511 yr What say you? My Way News - GOP candidate Carson: Muslim shouldn't be elected president I say what I have always said. He's an idiot.
September 21, 201511 yr I agree. Tolerance isn't something we practice well in the USA. I wonder how many Muslim majority countries would elect a Christian or Jew as President or PM? I have had personal experiences in Muslim majority countries, and it's a whole different ballgame there in terms of intolerance against those who do not believe in the country's dominant faith, at least in the countries to which I have been. Heck, in one country the people with whom I stayed told the locals I was a Muslim in order to protect my safety.

They are just as wrong with their intolerance as we are.
