I don't know a lot about Carson except that he's a retired neurosurgeon with no political experience. That's probably why he would make a comment like this when other candidates would be less likely to, even if they feel that way. If he thinks a Muslim president wouldn't be in line with the Constitution, he needs to brush up on his reading. The Constitution says there's no religious test for the president.
My impression is that most of his support at the moment is due to his not being a career politician. Some people think he'll bring a fresh perspective. The little I've heard from him hasn't impressed me. I'm sure he's a smart guy but he doesn't strike me as a leader.
Ben Carson is the favorite of the "hey look, I'm Republican but I'm not racist" folks.
I shouldn't laugh because it's true.

Ben Carson is (or was) a tremendously great surgeon and a terrific movie was made about him called "Gifted Hands". But Carson is not a politician (let alone presidential material. His views represent a narrow range of voters. He has never held a public office.) He's just more noise on the air waves.
Stick to what you're good at, Dr. Carson. Surgery.

Does that mean you agree with Mr. Carson?
I'm sorry I don't know much about him, but if does not believe a muslim should be president I'll agree with that. I'm pretty much open to anybody for president ...just not a muslim person and besides I don't see America letting any openly muslim person become president. good grief man the office of president is no joking matter despite who we have now.

So you actually object to the idea of a Muslim being president? May I ask why?

their laws and customs are a great concern.

But do you not think that they would uphold the laws and constitution of your land as they swear to do upon becoming president?

I think it's time to reread the bible.
The punishment for Apostasy should be no ones belief.
