Letter: I don’t think a Muslim should be president

The media is chastising Ben Carson for his comments about not allowing a Muslim in leadership in the U.S. Government, indicating their ignorance and naivety regarding Islam.

In every nation where Islam is ruling, women are subjugated and treated as second class citizens, even less then human. A Muslim woman in America, who wanted a divorce, was beheaded by her husband. Children, who wish to change to a different religion, are killed or banned, and there is no freedom of religion a fundamental basis of American society. After 9/11/2001 Muslims in America and throughout the world were cheering.

Why would we in America allow someone who has these beliefs, to run our nation? In which nation of the world with Islam ruling is there peace and freedom, Mr. President? If refugees want this kind of leadership go to Iran or Saudi Arabia, not America.

Frankly, Ben Carson is the only candidate that had the courage to say something about this issue that is on every American’s mind as we watch Isis brutally beheading Christians, children and families and raping and pillaging women. Nut balls from UK and our own communities are joining them as though it’s a fad and we foolishly allow them back and maintain citizenship, shame on us. CAIR (Council of American Islamic Relations) who spoke out against Ben Carson is an unindicted co- conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Trials and supporter of terrorist organizations.

Many Muslim communities, in France, are dangerous “No Go” zones that police won’t even go to and non-Muslims take their lives in their own hands to enter. This is not the case in Hispanic, Buddhist, Hindu, or Asian cultures when they come to western civilizations.

I boldly assert that the media shows great ignorance and naivety in blasting Ben Carson, and needs to understand the dangers to western cultures of the infiltration of Islamic ideology to our forms of government. Carson further explained himself, that if a Muslim is a “true moderate” denouncing those tenants of Sharia law and upholding the U.S. Constitution, they could be considered for leadership. Chamberlain, in England, “Mr. Passivity,” appeasement and “political correctness” didn’t have it right in his treatment of Hitler. He thought you could make “peace treaties” with the enemy. His passivity cost millions of lives because he was unwilling to assertively and aggressively engage the enemy.

Our President is making peace treaties with our enemy, Iran, even when the leadership of Iran indicates he will not follow any of the guidelines of the treaty and there is no accountability for how the billions of dollars we are sending them are spent? We have ensured they will have full nuclear capability and fund terrorism. Insanity!

We need a bold Churchill as our next President, who understood the true enemies of western civilization, back in the oval office. (See www.shariahthethreat.org and the Shariah, Threat to America report of Team B II, Center for Security Policy).
