That's the right thing to do Ben. America had it foundation in God even the flag is a symbol

Who told you that lie ?
America foundation was based on freedom and deist philosophy.

Stop quoting history when you don't know,
America founding fathers left their homes for economic not
religious reasons, if you are conversant with history you will
know that most of the founding fathers were deists not Christians
as you claim.

You are a liar, all lairs shall end in hell. The founding fathers that set sail at Plymouth where Puritans (strong and no nonsense Christians ) America backslided that's why you see lots of immoralities in her mist

Exactly. And that's the same point Trump made during his interview. For me their opinion will
come back to hunt them during the final election with their Democratic counterpart but truth be told,
they nailed the fact as a MUSLIM cannot be trusted completely to effectively handle that SEAT if they
must crack down their enemies in d Arab world with Nuclear Potentials/Capabilities...

Waiting for Jihadist, Osama Bin Ladin, Muslim Extremist, haters to start a fight because of this statement.. angry angry

develop their Nuclear Warhead angry angry angry

If you live together in a country with peoples of opposite "Values and principles" to yours as obtains in Nigeria's of today, then there is no way such a country will proper nor have peace. For us Biafrans to achieve our target goals in life, we must fight hard to separate from Nigeria where these northerners and south westerners are clogging the wheels of our progress. We do not have anything in common with them.

Islam is the largest growing religion in the world. By 2060, Islam will be the largest religion in the world (PEW research). That means we will have an increase in American Muslims as well, which in turn means non-Muslim Americans will regularly interact with American Muslims. That means your kids and grandkids will have doctors, lawyes, engineers, etc. that are American Muslims. Do you really want to continue the ignorance?

Whoever did that research for you deceived you. How does he know the minds of people who are not even born yet, and those that are living.
No machine or amount or science can read a human mind. So, no one knows what 2060 religious landscape will look like.

If Muslims could keep their religion to themselves without disturbing the peace and freedom of others, many people wouldn't share Ben Carson's opinions.

Re: Ben Carson On US Muslim Presidency: "I Would Not Advocate That" by Nobody: 6:52pm On Sep 21, 2015
Well....Ben Carson's comment, while regrettable, is nothing new.

Once upon a time, Roman Catholics were in the same position muslims are now. In 1928, Al Smith, an American pol who had been a very effective Governor of his home state.....lost the American election to Herbert Hoover on the grounds that he was ''Roman Catholic''. In 1960, John F. Kennedy, another Catholic, had to make a speech to Protestant ministers where he in essence stated that he won't take orders from the Pope. (Part of the many reasons why he won that election).

Once upon a time, Black Americans like Carson were in the same position as muslims. In 1928, there was only one Black elected Congressman. The idea of a balck president was laughed at. Even in 1984...when Jesse Jackson looked like he was going to get the Democratic nomination, he still lost it. Now...blacks have a lot of elected offices...and we have a black president. (And Carson looks like he is in with a chance).

I doubt that voting a Muslim president = America becoming Muslim. The US is not structured like that. So, Carson's comment is bigoted and wrong. No excuses. But.....it must be pointed out that the Muslim world has a fundamentalist problem .....and measures need to be put in place to deal with it.The Muslim world should not let ISIS speak for them. They should speak more against them. There should also be more attention to things like minority rights in majority Muslim areas. and so on.

Mr Carson also should trust his countrymen a little bit more...and remember that when he was born ....it was difficult for a black man to aspire to any political position. He should also remember that should he be elected...he is the president of all Americans...Muslim and non Muslim.

We the south-southerners don't have anything in common with the south easterners either. So what's your point?

Point of correction, history isn't thought in Sunday school rather Gods word. A good example of the founding fathers is John Harvard whoS name was used to name the best university in the world today, infact the puritans built the Harvard university. So stop spreading lies.

Have you all read exactly what he said:

"I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that," the retired neurosurgeon and Republican presidential candidate said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press."

Carson, was asked Sunday whether a president's faith should matter to voters.

"I guess it depends on what that faith is," he said. "If it's inconsistent with the values and principles of America, then of course it should matter. But if it fits within the realm of America and consistent with the Constitution, no problem."

I honestly don't see what the matter is here. Which true Muslim will seat and allow guys get married? How about allow Satanists erect monuments in cities and hold rallies??
America is not built for real religious people, only eye-servicers can win that seat. That's why Carson won't win and neither will any Muslim of true belief.

It seems the meaning of founding father is the problem here,
if you consider a recent 17th century economic emigrator who holds
no public position aside contributing money for the running
of a university a founding father, then I will stop here.
