Whoa. I didn't even know he was atill running. No one ever mentions him.
And he's getting exactly nowhere.
I really don't get it. If Americans refuse to vote for a person running on a fundie christian platform (I think W pretty much spoiled that), why does anyone think they'll vote for a person running on a fundie muslim platform?
Carson is entitled to his opinion, but the fact is that none of us posting on this forum will ever see anything like sharia law in the US. What happens 100 years from now? Sorry folks, we don't get a say. Anymore than the people alive 100 years ago get a say today.
Certain aspects of all religions are likely unconstitutional. Off the top of my head is the discriminatory practices of the Catholic Church where it comes to women and being a priest.
Did that stop Kennedy from being the President?
Sorry but your wrong.... Catholics don't have a version of Sharia law which is intertwined.
Catholics not having a female priest don't affect the rule of law in the U.S.
The muslim religion is taught to lie and deceive other non muslims to catch them off guard or manipulate to get the muslim agenda advanced. Obama is a muslim and would never tell us that.. reason, he is using Taqiyya which is in the muslim religion that they are to denounce that they are a muslim even under oath.
Description of Taqiyya in the muslim religion...
The word "Taqiyya" literally means: "Concealing, precaution, guarding.” It is employed in disguising one's beliefs, intentions, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions or strategies. In practical terms it is manifested as dissimulation, lying, deceiving, vexing and confounding with the intention of deflecting attention, foiling or pre-emptive blocking. It is currently employed in fending off and neutralizing any criticism of Islam or Muslims.
Falsehoods told to prevent the denigration of Islam, to protect oneself, or to promote the cause of Islam are sanctioned in the Qur'an and Sunna, including lying under oath in testimony before a court, deceiving by making distorted statements to the media such as the claim that Islam is a “religion of peace”. A Muslim is even permitted to deny or denounce his faith if, in so doing, he protects or furthers the interests of Islam, so long as he remains faithful to Islam in his heart. (See endnotes)
Like many Islamic practices, taqiyya was formed within the context of the culture of Arab tribalism, expansionary warfare, Bedouin raiding and inter-tribal conflict. Taqiyya has been used by Muslims since the 7th century to confuse, confound and divide 'the enemy’.
Ignoring the due rights of American citizens which are granted in the Constitution didn't stop Bush from arguing he could do it.
Many cheered him on also.
I don't know what you are on about, frankly, but you clearly do NOT understand the Constitution. Bush has absolutely nothing to do with Ben Carson.
More importantly... The US Constitution does not GRANT rights.
It specifies the limitations of the federal government and, in it's Amendments, enshrines rights we all have NATURALLY. We don't need the government to "grant" them to us. The job of government is to PROTECT these natural rights.
Ben Carson isn't advocating violating the rights of anyone. He is simply stating that HE believes that Sharia is inconsistent with the Constitution. He is correct about that.
Um yes it does...No law out ways the Constitution in this country but under Islam shria law is king.
Wake up
Nor does being a Muslim.
The funnest part of this whole dust up is how d**b the left truly is....the 1st people's to be offed under Islam would be liberals lol. I don't see to many liberals,gays or woman's rights activists running around the streets of the middle east or Indonesia.
Message to all lefties....be careful what you wish for.
