Carson Makes Things Clear: One Must Reject Sharia Law To Be President Presidential Candidate Ben Carson is quickly going from one of the quietest candidates in the race to one of the most controversial. This began last week, when he claimed that he would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. Now, Carson feels that he deserves the opportunity to clarify what he meant by his comments. Let me tell you what I would advocate. I would advocate that people go back and look at the transcript of what I actually said, he told reporters. I would have problems with somebody who embraced all the doctrines associated with Islam. If they are not willing to reject sharia and all the portions of it that are talked about in the Quran. If they are not willing to reject that, and subject that to American values and the Constitution, then of course, I would. I would ask you, would you be willing to do that? Would you be willing to advocate for somebody who would not do that? Probably not. Is it possible that maybe the media thinks its bigger deal than the American people do? Because American people, the majority of them, agree and they understand exactly what I am saying. I know a lot of Muslims who are very patriotic, good Americas, he continued. And they gladly admit at least privately that they dont accept Sharia or the doctrines and they understand that Islam is a system of living and it includes the way that you relate to the government and you cannot unless you specifically deny that portion of Islam, be a Muslim in good standing. What do you think? Do you support Carson is his comments? Is the Quran fundamentally anti-American?
