Dr. Carson Is Right About Islam

Star Parker: Dr. Carson Is Right About Islam — The Patriot Post:
"Is Islam consistent with the American value of freedom?
...Let’s just look at how Muslims run their own affairs in their own countries.
According to the Pew Research Center, there are 31 nations in the world with Muslim populations of 90 percent or more.
Freedom House in Washington, D.C., rates nations around the world according to freedom.
They rate according to civil liberties and political rights.
Nations are broken down into three categories: free, partly free, and not free.
Of the 31 nations that are more than 90 percent Muslim, how many are rated free? 
Two. 
It seems pretty clear that freedom fares not so well in the Muslim world.
How about the Constitution?
The Constitution is not a value-free operating manual.
The reason the founders created it was to preserve American values.
They were quite clear about this in the preamble to the Constitution.
The preamble says: “We the people” establish the Constitution to “secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.”
I spend much of my time reading the Bible so I can be a good Christian.
I don’t feel it is my responsibility to read the Quran and get into the business of trying to understand what Muslims believe.
My measuring stick can only be how Muslims behave. 
And the evidence is overwhelming that Islam does not produce behavior consistent with the American value of freedom, the core value our constitution exists to preserve.
It is perfectly constitutional to elect someone with values that will destroy America.
It’s just not a very good idea to do it.
When Ben Carson says he “would not advocate putting a Muslim in charge of this nation,” only someone who does not care about the future of this nation would question the power of his logic."
