GOP candidate Carson: Muslim shouldn't be elected president-Associated Press By HOPE YEN-SEPT 20,15-YAHOONEWS
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson says Islam is antithetical to the Constitution, and he doesn't believe that a Muslim should be elected president.Carson, a devout Christian, says a president's faith should matter to voters if it runs counter to the values and principles of America. Responding to a question during an interview broadcast Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," he described the Islamic faith as inconsistent with the Constitution."I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation," Carson said. "I absolutely would not agree with that."He did not specify in what way Islam ran counter to constitutional principles.Carson's comments drew strong criticism from the country's largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, the Council on American-Islamic Relations."To me this really means he is not qualified to be president of the United States," said the group's spokesman, Ibrahim Hooper. "You cannot hold these kinds of views and at the same time say you will represent all Americans, of all faiths and backgrounds."Hooper said the Constitution expressly forbids religious tests for those seeking public office and called for the repudiation of "these un-American comments."In a separate appearance on NBC, one of Carson's rivals for the GOP nomination, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, was asked whether he would have a problem with a Muslim in the White House. "The answer is, at the end of the day, you've got to go through the rigors, and people will look at everything. But, for me, the most important thing about being president is you have leadership skills, you know what you're doing and you can help fix this country and raise this country. Those are the qualifications that matter to me."Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who taped Sunday an episode of Iowa Press, an Iowa Public Television program, was asked if he agreed with Carson's statements on Muslims being president. "The Constitution specifies that there shall be no religious test for public office, and I am a constitutionalist," Cruz said.Carson's comments came amid lingering fallout over Republican Donald Trump's refusal last week to take issue with a man during a campaign event who wrongly called President Barack Obama a Muslim and said Muslims are "a problem in this country."Also speaking on NBC on Sunday, Trump said that a Muslim in the White House is "something that could happen... Some people have said it already happened, frankly."In multiple interviews Sunday, Trump tried to draw a distinction between all American Muslims and extremist Muslims in the U.S. and elsewhere."I have friends that are Muslims they're great people, amazing people," Trump said on CNN's "State of the Union.""You have extremists Muslims that are in a class by themselves," Trump added. "It's a problem in this country, it's a problem throughout this world.... You do have a problem with radical Muslims."GOP candidates have been split over whether to criticize Trump, who has been a vocal skeptic of Obama's birthplace and faith. Obama is Christian.In the NBC interview, Carson said he believes that Obama was born in the U.S. and is Christian, saying he has "no reason to doubt" what the president says.Carson also made a distinction when it came to electing Muslims to Congress, calling it a "different story" from the presidency that "depends on who that Muslim is and what their policies are, just as it depends on what anybody else says."Congress has two Muslim members, Democratic Reps. Keith Ellison of Minnesota and Andre Carson of Indiana."If there's somebody who's of any faith, but they say things, and their life has been consistent with things that will elevate this nation and make it possible for everybody to succeed, and bring peace and harmony, then I'm with them," Carson said.___Associated Press writers Catherine Lucey in Des Moines, Iowa, and Kevin Freking in Washington contributed to this report.___This story has been corrected to show that two Muslims serve in Congress, not one.
Ben Carson says a Muslim shouldn't be president. Who agrees?-Polls suggest that 38 percent of voters would not support a Muslim candidate, but that, overall, Americans are becoming more accepting.Christian Science Monitor By Molly Jackson-SEPT 20,15-YAHOONEWS
Asked by Mr. Todd whether a candidate’s faith should matter, Dr. Carson, a Seventh Day Adventist who enjoys an 87 percent approval among white Evangelicals, replied that a president’s beliefs should not be “inconsistent with the values and principles of America,” or with the Constitution. When Todd then asked if Carson considered Islam “consistent with the Constitution,” Carson said no, without providing further explanation.The “Meet the Press” conversation comes in the wake of candidate Donald Trump’s latest controversy surrounding race and religion, after he declined to correct a New Hampshire supporter on Thursday who claimed, “We have a problem in this country. It’s called Muslims. We know our current president is one. You know he’s not even an American.” Recommended: Six reasons so many Republicans are running for president-The exchange quickly drew criticism from Democrats and Republicans alike, reflecting a GOP increasingly concerned with Trump’s often-contentious rhetoric. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, for instance, told the “Today” show, “I wouldn’t have permitted that,” calling President Obama’s American roots and Christian faith “self-evident.”Obama was born in Hawaii and is Christian. But according to recent polls, many Americans believe otherwise: CNN/ORC found that only 71 percent of conservatives think Obama was born in the US, while nearly half suspect he is Muslim.Carson is far from alone in preferring a non-Muslim president. For decades, Gallup has surveyed Americans about their support for hypothetical candidates with particular characteristics, asking “If your party nominated a generally well-qualified person for president who happened to be ____, would you vote for that person?” Results from 2015 reveal that 27 percent of Democrats, and 55 percent of Republicans, would not elect a Muslim. When the poll began in 1937, voters were only asked whether they would support a female, Catholic, or Jewish candidate, to which 33 percent, 60 percent, and 46 percent said “Yes,” respectively. Changes to the survey itself reveal the country’s shifting demographics, and advancing laws: respondents were first asked about black and atheist candidates in 1958, Mormons in 1967, gay candidates in 1978, Hispanics not until 2007, and Muslims in 2012.Although a Muslim candidate would evidently face an uphill battle, the steepest challenge awaits atheist and socialist politicians. Support for an atheist candidate has doubled since the 1950s, but is still low, at 60 percent. But support for socialists is still rarer, making it the least-popular characteristic, with a full half of respondents saying a socialist could not win their vote. Over the decades, support for most categories has risen: today, as a diverse array of candidates wrestles for the 2016 nominations, more than 90 percent of Americans say they would vote for a Catholic, female, black, Hispanic, or Jewish president.Would a Muslim candidate today fare better than 2012? It’s hard to say. Among Democrats, support for a hypothetical Muslim president has inched up, from 69 percent to 73 percent, but Republicans’ approval has actually fallen, down to 45 percent from 2012’s 47 percent. Long-term, the increased-acceptance trend may continue, thanks to generational outlooks: Gallup notes that “at least two-thirds of adults younger than 30 say they are willing to vote for a candidate with any of the characteristics included in the survey,” and support for a Muslim candidate is highest among the age 18-to-29 set, at 76 percent, a full 32 percentage points higher than among voters over 65.Vox’s Max Fisher has hypothesized that Obama’s attempt “to defray the tide of American Islamophobia” in reaction to ISIS may fuel some Americans’ stubborn insistence that he is a Muslim, in spite of his numerous mentions, and displays, of his Christian faith. The same fear of radical Islam, framed as a war of civilizations, likely hampers any Muslim candidate’s chances.For now, though, the candidate most likely affected by these numbers is none other than Senator Bernie Sanders: as of 2007, 57 percent said they would not vote for a candidate over age 72, adding to his challenges as a 74-year-old nonobservant Jewish socialist.
