Carson names the issue we take as settled science here.
Any muslim who is not considered apostate by nearly all others muslims CANNOT be the president of the USA, since his allegiance can NEVER be to the Constitution, FIRST
I'd want to hear that person reject Sharia, and all schools of Islamic jurisprudence as IRRELEVANT to the the law of the USA.
And then, good luck.
Carson should tighten his reasoning but he has it right.
Sharia and the Constitution are MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE, and so is probably any reading of the Quran as an immutable document

Counter jihad must step up to the plate and support his statement with facts or forever hold their peace/piece.
We need to encourage all our GoP candidates to speak up as well.
Obama will not reject Sharia if you ask him.
Neither will McCain or Jeb Bush.
The video clip in full context for Carson's statement
What Carson said:
“I do not believe Sharia is consistent with the Constitution of this country,” Carson said. “Muslims feel that their religion is very much a part of your public life and what you do as a public official, and that’s inconsistent with our principles and our Constitution.”
Carson said that the only exception he’d make would be if the Muslim running for office “publicly rejected all the tenants of Sharia and lived a life consistent with that.”
“Then I wouldn’t have any problem,” he said.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I haven't heard any of the mainstream media carry anything but the politically-incorrect snippet of Carson's remarks. I'm not ever sure that Fox News is giving Carson's remarks the context they deserve.
No one is.
NO ONE
This is a cut/paste comment posted at ChicagoBoyz blog which helps explain why the media avoids/ignores....
"we are seeing the beginning of a preference cascade as people who like Trump [and Cruz] see that they are not alone.
“The value of the Trump movement, if it has any, is not to elect him, but to cause a large, previously inchoate, segment of the electorate to realize that they are not the outliers, but, in fact, part of a significant group whose ideas are not only legitimate, but widely shared.”
Every attempt by the msm to eliminate Trump grows his support. Perhaps the msm is trying avoidance to see how it goes. The wrench in this case, CAIR insists on publicizing their "victimhood".
fwiw: “You know, the Constitution specifies there shall be no religious test for public office and I am a constitutionalist,” Cruz told the TV
interviewer, according to
The Des Moines Register.
Premature emasculation?
Unless you have a majority in both houses and pass an amendment 'qualifying Islam as a Certified threat to the constitution'
Anonymous,
I love that comment you found at ChicagoBoyz blog.
So far, it seems that Trump has done us outliers a huge service!
You do not need amendments to the Constitution. All you need is to educate the people. Islam is not just a religion. It is a political, totalitarian ideology which cripples man from cradle to grave. Period.
Doesn't the US constitution already define treason as "levying War against them (the United States), or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort."?
Any person involved with zakat, whether it be giving or collecting it, can be tried for treason. No ifs or buts about it. Zakat by definition falls under "giving aid and comfort" to the enemies of the United States.
Question is, who's got balls to actually convict and try Muslims for the crime of following Islam? I doubt even Trump or sleepy Dr. Carson would go that far.
having to respond to a question from the press that the Constitution must be subservient to ANYTHING else, is not a religious test.
It can be asked of anyone over anything.
McCain supported a group whose function it was to get SCOTUS to adopt the court findings of other nations.
Obama LIED in his oath and is now entangling us by pen in agreements which make our rule of law subservient to other entities (TPP, immigration for one).
This is a PRESS issue every bit as much as it is one of attention to Shariah, and what that would mean.
ISN'T THAT RIGHT KEITH ELLISON?
