[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.

You are confusing Muslims with Islam as a faith.  Yes, Islam as a faith is not consistent with the U.S. constitution.  Do Muslims live their lives 100% according to the Quran? Of course they do not.   There is no official Islam. That is true.  There is, however, a highly official, unchangeable and immutable (to Muslims) a book of Islam that resists change.  Quran is not consistent with the Constitution and is not meant to be, just like any other book of scripture.  The questions "Is Islam consistent with the U.S. Constitution?" and "Can a Muslim be President?" are not related. [/quote]
