A couple of weeks ago presidential
candidate Dr. Ben Carson said he would not support a Muslim for president. He
explained that Sharia Law is incompatible with the U.S. Constitution, and
anyone who puts Sharia Law ahead of the Constitution would not be a good
president. Carson was immediately excoriated by the media for being “anti-Muslim,”
“bigoted,” and even “un-American.” Many pundits demanded that he drop out of
the race because of his “hateful” comments.
Meanwhile, the spokesman for the
Council on American-Islamic Relations, Ibrahim Hooper, said this during a 2003
radio interview: “If Muslims ever become a majority in the United States, it
would be safe to assume that they would want to replace the U.S. Constitution
with Islamic law, as most Muslims believe that God’s law is superior to
man-made law.”
More recently, a poll conducted in May
of this year by the Center for Security Policy showed that 51 percent of
American Muslims preferred that they should have their own Sharia courts
outside of the legal system ruled by the U.S. Constitution.
Wait. What?! Now tell me again, what
exactly did Ben Carson say that was wrong?? Muslims in the U.S. freely admit
they prefer Sharia law over the Constitution, therefore Ben Carson is a bigot
who must drop out of the race because he told the truth? Um, anybody besides me
see something odd here?
