Can you state specifically which polices a Muslim candidate in the US is likely to expose based on her religion that you would oppose? Is it the praying five times a day that you believe would be disqualifying? The chance that the President might go on the Haj? Is it the charity that the President would demonstrate? The fasting? Or, her simple profession of faith? I am having a really difficult time understanding why all Muslims should be unconstitutionally barred from the Presidency.

NP here

I'll give a simple example.  Muslims due to religious reasons do not consume pork.  If they supported a policy banning or restricting pork products I would be opposed.  It really boils down to how willing said person is to imposing their believes onto the general public.  Nothing wrong with them practicing their believes as an individual.  There is only an issue when/if they impose their religious beliefs onto the general public.[/quote]

Poor example.
No way in hell such a bill would even make it to the floor.[/quote]
Exactly why it's a good example because it doesn't past the mustard test of being "American". Which I think was the entire point of what Carson was saying.  Keep in mind there are many things a President can do via executive order without requiring a bill.  You don't want someone like that in office when its possible they could impose their will on many things.[/quote]
