You know I was gonna ask the question when the guy said what he did about Obama being a Muslim at Trump's get together, "So what if he is?"
Is the GOP stance now that only people of certain faiths can be President? Has the entire party gone mad?

Gosh, I've said in the past that if you don't follow Jesus, then I'm not voting for ya.
But this is Islamophobia. -

That's significantly different from the Islamophobia being expressed by Carson. -

What you need to do is take inventory of your hypocrisy here.
What you are doing here is pushing the far left narrative of the GOP being hateful toward Muslims. You have exposed yourself. -

Carson said it would be OK for a Muslim to be in Congress. Would you vote for a Muslim running for Congress? -
In fact, I would think he would be more or equally inclined to not want Muslims in Congress for the same reasons he mentioned about the Presidency.
It's akin to "some of my best friends are Black, but I don't want them marrying my daughter."

And I wonder why all the folks on the right who scream race baiting aren't screaming Muslim baiting?
His entire premise for his objection seems to teeter on violating the First Amendment. -

According to a lot of ya on here and throughout the GOP, his Mormonism was a non-issue since you were electing a President and not a priest. So why would the faith of the Muslim matter since you're electing a President and not a priest?
I'll tell ya why. ISLAMOPHOBIA. -

Mormonism while biblically heretical is consistent with American values by and large. Islam, because of Sharia law and their intent to conquer the world is not.
Should be as American be concerned with Islam and its attacks on our country? You betchya
Is that concern somehow immoral? Nope not in the least.
Is it immoral to hypocritically judge someone for the same thing you are doing?
Well we all know the answer to that question. -
It's hypocrisy at it's best and goes to show as I said back then, that a lot of folks on here and in the church don't give a flap about morality or what God says, as those convenient convictions take a back seat to winning an election.
Sharia law is a very small part of Islam and cannot impact the general public unless someone decides that it trumps the law that's already in place. Large chunks of what's in the Bible is in the Koran. Muslims are much more conservative than are most Americans. Ain't much difference between the values or lack thereof between Muslims and Americans, a lot of who are Muslims.
The above are far more prevalent than anything a Muslim has done. But I understand that the GOP needs to demonize certain groups in order to keep its base riled up.
The utmost in hypocrisy bathed in ISLAMOPHOBIA.
What's up with the GOP and the Muslim baiting? -

Son, you are using way to much cyber space time. Please reduce your lectures to the one or two words sentences you are known for!

Carson is far more clever conman than Barak Obama could wish. -
