"I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that,” Islam is not “consistent with the Constitution.” Words by Ben Carson that got him in hot water over the weekend when a question was posed to him on Meet the Press. But wait, I thought we wanted straight talkers. That's why we like Donald Trump so much.
Is Islam really inconsistent with the Constitution? It is well known that the Constitution was founded on Godly Christian principles. With those Christian precepts is the freedom to worship whatever god you choose, in whatever way you choose, without risk of harm or punishment. However, when it comes to the leadership of this nation, voters must examine the character of a person. Do their values and beliefs align with American values and the Constitution?
Most Muslims see Sharia law as the revealed word of god and many believe Sharia should be the law of the land. Here are a few things Sharia law covers:
• Theft is punishable by amputation of the right hand.
• Criticizing or denying any part of the Quran is punishable by death.
• Criticizing or denying Muhammad is a prophet is punishable by death.
• Criticizing or denying Allah is punishable by death.
• A Muslim who becomes a non-Muslim is punishable by death.
• A non-Muslim who leads a Muslim away from Islam is punishable by death.
• A non-Muslim man who marries a Muslim woman is punishable by death.
• A man can marry an infant girl and consummate the marriage when she is nine years old.
• A woman can have one husband, but a man can have up to four wives.
• A man can unilaterally divorce his wife but a woman needs her husband's consent to divorce.
• A man can beat his wife for insubordination.
• Testimonies of four male witnesses are required to prove rape against a woman.
• A woman who has been raped cannot testify in court against her rapists.
• A woman's court testimony, allowed only in property cases, carries half the weight of a man's.
• A female heir inherits half of what a male heir inherits.
• A woman cannot drive a car, as it leads to fitnah (upheaval).
• A woman cannot speak alone to a man who is not her husband or relative.
• Muslims should engage in taqiyya and lie to non-Muslims to advance Islam.
• Criticizing or denying any part of the Quran is punishable by death.
• Criticizing or denying Muhammad is a prophet is punishable by death.
• Criticizing or denying Allah is punishable by death.
• A Muslim who becomes a non-Muslim is punishable by death.
• A non-Muslim who leads a Muslim away from Islam is punishable by death.
• A non-Muslim man who marries a Muslim woman is punishable by death.
• A man can marry an infant girl and consummate the marriage when she is nine years old.
• A woman can have one husband, but a man can have up to four wives.
• A man can unilaterally divorce his wife but a woman needs her husband's consent to divorce.
• A man can beat his wife for insubordination.
• Testimonies of four male witnesses are required to prove rape against a woman.
• A woman who has been raped cannot testify in court against her rapists.
• A woman's court testimony, allowed only in property cases, carries half the weight of a man's.
• A female heir inherits half of what a male heir inherits.
• A woman cannot drive a car, as it leads to fitnah (upheaval).
• A woman cannot speak alone to a man who is not her husband or relative.
• Muslims should engage in taqiyya and lie to non-Muslims to advance Islam.
Where are women's rights in this? Where is due process? Where is freedom? Take careful note of the last line which states Muslims should engage in taqiyya, which means LYING TO ADVANCE ISLAM . Well, I wonder how taqiyya plays into the Iran deal?
With increasing numbers of Muslims in the US, there have been several court cases come up in which civil law was in conflict with Sharia law. Most states have introduced bills banning courts from accommodating sharia law. Only a few states have been able to pass the ban! In most states, bills have been struck down due to well-financed Muslim groups fighting against it. THIS SHOULD SHOCK EVERYONE!
Having said this, many Muslims in the US would say they align more with. American values. As Christians, we are to love one another as Christ loves us. I would submit that Muslims in the US for the most part, are treated with respect and do not face discrimination by most people. However, we are to use good judgement and discernment when choosing leaders for our nation. So thank you Dr. Ben Carson for stating the obvious; Islam is not consistent with the Constitution and a Muslim should not be put in charge of this nation!
