The two leading Republican candidates, Donald Trump and Ben Carson are really railing against immigration and Muslims and the party's grassroots base is rallying behind them. If the GOP gets into power next year, it's going to be awkward for foreigners in the 11 Likes 1 Share |

Lilimax: The UAE is an empire built on the doctrine of Islam, it is the religion that holds them together. The USA on the other hand is built on democratic principles and institutions. Does one's religion preclude him from holding public offices in a democracy? I don't think so. I don't think a country like the United State should concern itself with its President's religion; afterall they're the ones championing the concept of a 'free-state'. For the purpose of the election, I think Ben Carson's sentiment on this issue is a blunder. His position just like his stance on homo-sexuality in the US is clouded by his deep-christian religious outlook; He's obviously not ready to govern a complex entity like the United States. 78 Likes 7 Shares |

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? 52 Likes 4 Shares |

SenseiX: I fear a bush overtake of Carson. But I am afraid Truman would clinch the primaries. He is vocal, outgoing, loud, proud, self imposing and almost violent in his utterances. He looks the type that will play dirty politics if he has the opportunity. Carson on the other hand does not look forceful enough, though he is coming up gradually. If I am to choose who lifts GOP's banner at the general election, I will go for Ben Carson. He is the next hope and next repairer of the damaged american Godly heritage. 37 Likes 2 Shares |

wadetaw202:Bush won't rise despite his huge cash haul and Trump will eventually lose steam. Carson might win the first primary in Iowa because of his strength with Christian Conservatives. In my opinion the person to watch is that Fiorina lady, She had a strong debate performance and the media seem to be pushing her narrative. I'm rooting sentimentally for Carson too though, his story inspired me back then in my teen years. 18 Likes 1 Share |

I didn't see anywhere in the interview where he said this...misleading topic. All I can see in the leading Republican presidential candidates except my Carson is another senseless war in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria with terrible regulation on visas. Maybe Americans need change... 6 Likes |

SenseiX:Your points have substance. The conservative christian community (and to a large extent the elderly American voters) are rooting for Carson, based on his stand on homosexuality, immigration and other issues. He is a role model to many Americans both, blacks, whites native Americans and Latinos. Me think he will emerge victorious as the Republican Presidential flagbrearer. 11 Likes |

None of the candidates campaigning are even Muslims so who is he throwing the jab at? Ben Carson just officially lost the presidential race before it even start. He is indirectly mocking the American constitution and democracy as a whole. He wouldn't have even dream of being a Presidential candidate if Blacks were still not allowed to run for any post, If Apartheid still exist. But today the US has a black man as their president. I am afraid Ben Carson may also lose respect as a world renowned neurosurgeon. Just check out the BBC page and see how he is being criticized for the statement by fellow Americans. Racists Americans would also take advantage of this to spread propagandas of how "Hateful" Ben Carson is giving more reasons why you should vote for only whites. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10153110441612217&id=228735667216&refid=17 19 Likes 4 Shares |

Idrismusty97:Actually Carson's chief backers are among right wing white evangelicals. He is not so popular among blacks because of his strong criticism of the dependence of African Americans on welfare and the perpetual victim mentality. I don't particularly like this statement of this but he says stuff like this because that's what his base wants to hear. He caters primarily to an audience of Southern white evangelicals skeptical of Trump and distrustful of Establishment candidates. That said though the statement was offensive really. 12 Likes 1 Share |
