[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]And Carson is correct in that the Islamic faith  is not consistent with the Constitution[/quote]

How so? There is no "official" Islam. So, how are you able to make such a categorial statement? That is exactly what used to be said about Catholics because a Catholic would be subservient to the Pope. It was wrong about Catholics and is wrong about Muslims.

The Constitution was designed to limit the powers of Federal government in order to preserve freedom for the people. Please show me a country under Islamic rule that lives by that tenant.[/quote]

You are not addressing my question to you. Two countries under Islamic rule are Saudi Arabia and Iran. Neither one of them agrees that with the Islam practiced in the other. As I said, there is no single "official" Islam. Islam is practiced in many ways. Therefore, it is impossible for you to make such a categorical statement about Islam.

But, let's apply your same litmus test to Ben Carson's own religion. Can you show me a country under the rule of a Seventh Day Adventist that lives by the tenant of limiting the Federal government in order to preserve freedom for the people?

Both Saudi Arabia and Iran treat their population as sub-human in many different ways - supported by the tenants of Islam. Women? Gay individuals? There are common threads throughout Islam which would get you jailed by rule of law in the US.

If Seventh Day Adventists ruled a country and treated their people the same way, I'd make similar statements.

Can you show me a country ruled by Islamic law that provides the same freedoms as America provides to its population?[/quote]
