I ‘would not advocate that we put a Muslim in’ the White House

I wouldn't either to tell the truth.


Ben Carson: I ‘would not advocate that we put a Muslim in’ the White House


"I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that," the retired neurosurgeon said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

The ruling-out of a Muslim is a religious test for office, and thus inconsistent with the constitution. Since Carson says inconsistency with constitutional values makes one unfit for the office, he's ruled himself out by his own argument.

It's nothing to do with contitutional anything He just expressed an honest feeling he has.

With all that's going one in the world today I can honestly say I feel the same way.

I'm not bothered by Muslims in general, fundamentalist religious zealots of any stripe however are a serious concern.
