[From article]
First, it is nearly impossible without ignorance or ill will to misunderstand Dr. Carson’s clear and carefully chosen words. He did not say a Muslim could not be president, but only that he personally would not advocate for or support such a candidate due to issues of incompatibility. However, for those since who have relied upon the purposeful misstatement or reinvention of his words, we should be asking why they lie, and what they seek to achieve if they get away with it.
Many Americans are no longer religious, but cannot deny that our nation and our culture are direct products of Judeo-Christian history, experience, and law. The Ten Commandments are the bedrock of our legal system. There is the firmness of the Old Testament, with the temperance and forgiveness of the New Testament. Most of our ancestors were raised with the Bible. For the most part, those who emigrated to the United States through most of the 20th Century also came predominantly from Christian countries, bringing their faith with them. In America, one can accept religion or reject it, but Judeo-Christian history is woven into our culture.
[. . .]
the American tradition of separation of church and state is utterly unknown in Islam. The state and the church are effectively one and the same, because Sharia is the legal and social code of Islam. If you are a devout Muslim, you must adhere to Sharia. The state exists to enforce the religion and the code, and does so ruthlessly and cruelly.
[. . .]
We’ve already seen what can be done to us by “executive order”.
[. . .]
even more problematic when one with knowledge of Islam and Sharia admits that the believer is obligated to spread Islam and Sharia into all lands as commanded by his god, especially the lands of the infidels, and is encouraged to lie about his intentions to surreptitiously achieve that goal.
[. . .]
What chance would a Catholic have of being elected president of Egypt, or of ruling Saudi Arabia? None, of course.
[. . .]
They are who their history and culture made them, and they choose to remain so.
[. . .]
Our makeup these days includes a significant percentage of liberal social engineers who appear to hate other Americans, especially those who value and wish to preserve our unique culture, built upon individual rights and freedoms. They point to our rejection of other cultures, religions and laws being forced upon us as evidence of our insularity and alleged xenophobia, trying to shame us into accepting the chaos and inevitable social conflict that would overwhelm the Great American Experiment once and for all. Having failed to persuade us to surrender, they are now trying to drown us in other peoples and cultures, imported to make the outcome a certainty.
[. . .]
Just as white settlers came to this continent with their cultures and overwhelmed the native culture, so now is the left importing people of other countries, with their incompatible cultures, to smother the vestiges of the America they loathe. That the imported cultures are incompatible and will eventually compete for scarce funds and power, even to the point of violence, merely accelerates the outcome. They will be dependent and vote, and soon will make traditional Americans irrelevant. America is being “Indianed”, and the left can’t get it done quickly enough.
