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.
“I do not believe Sharia is consistent with the Constitution of this country,” Carson said, referencing the Islamic law derived from the Koran and traditions of Islam. “Muslims feel that their religion is very much a part of your public life and what you do as a public official, and that’s inconsistent with our principles and our Constitution.”
"Muslims feel that their religion is very much a part of your public life " - But then so do a lot of Republicans hence why they kept saying no to gay marriage...because of their religious beliefs? Or am I missing something? . And most Muslims in the west probably don't care for Sharia law and just want to work their jobs, earn their keep and enjoy their free time like regular people

Indeed. THEIR religion is extremely important to them when it comes to opposing things like gay marriage. Such hypocrites.
While I admire the fact that a black man such as Carson could come from a childhood of poverty into an adulthood of being a respected neurosurgeon, I do NOT want Ben Carson leading the country.
