Muslim Group Calls for Ben Carson to Drop Out – Then He Delivers a Knock-Out Punch
Top tier GOP presidential candidate Ben Carson now has the “Muslim advocacy” group CAIR in his crosshairs. The group with several links to terrorism publicly denounced Carson and called for him to withdraw from the presidential race after Carson made controversial comments regarding whether he would support a Muslim for president.
Carson’s assertion that Shariah law is not compatible with the United States Constitution did not sit well with many people, including GOP candidates like Ted Cruz and Carly Fiorina (who has made her pro-Muslim views clear in speeches and a memoir).
Even after drawing sharp criticism, Dr. Carson stood by his position and further stated that any Muslim running for president would have to renounce Shariah law before he could consider giving them his support.
Carson is now reaching out to his supporters and calling on them to sign a petition to have the IRS revoke CAIR’s tax exempt status.
According to Breitbart:
CAIR, described as a “Muslim advocacy group” and a “civil rights organization” by the left and the mainstream media, is actually tied to Hamas, a designated Palestinian terrorist group.
CAIR’s founder and current leader, Nihad Awad, has proven ties to Hamas, a U.S.-designated Palestinian terrorist group. FBI wiretaps found that Awad asked early CAIR employees to use coded-language when discussing their support for Hamas, due to its terror designation.
CAIR also has significant ties, if not membership, with the global Muslim Brotherhood, as the founders of CAIR were all members of Muslim Brotherhood-launched outfits.
Carson is calling on his supporters in a Saturday morning email to push back against CAIR for the organization’s attempt to silence Carson, circulating a petition that would call for the IRS to revoke CAIR’s tax exempt status.
“Here’s the catch — CAIR is a tax-exempt nonprofit, and IRS rules explicitly prohibit such groups from intervening in political campaigns on behalf of — or in opposition to — a candidate,” Carson stated.
This is not the first time that CAIR has disrespected U.S. laws or America. It previously lost its tax-exempt status by failing to file federal taxes three years in a row. It’s also been named by federal prosecutors as an unindicted co-conspirator in a criminal conspiracy to funnel money to Hamas, a terrorist organization.
Under the Obama Administration, the IRS has systematically targeted conservative nonprofit groups for politically motivated audits and harassment. The agency should now do its job properly and punish the real violators of American laws and regulations.
You can see Carson respond to CAIR’s statement on Megyn Kelly’s Fox News show:
Do you think it was appropriate for CAIR to call for Carson to withdraw from the presidential race?
Poster Comment:
Fiorina is pro-Muslim? She obviously has no idea of American history. When George Washington was President and dressed in full Masonic regalia, he held up a copy of the Koran and said, "We need to keep these people out of this country."
"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians, not on religions but on the gospel of Jesus Christ! For this very reason people of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here." -PatrickHenry
This is what the founding fathers believed. That doesn't mean that any people of other faiths get to come her and take away the rights of everybody else. There are many muslims here, for many years, who work among us and have no desire to 'inflict' their 'customs' and beliefs on us.
Carson is out of line. He doesn't know crap about the Constitution, or care. No Shariah law isn't compatible with the Constitution. No radical religion is which the followers intend to force on 'non-believers.'
Please let us hear more from you, ratcat! Strictly a footnote -- that quote is questionably his. I (direct P. Henry descendant) used to argue with the folks at www.redhill.org/ about such. Fear I ran off one of their directors that way.
Meanwhile, it's done worlds of good as a fake, if that's what it is :-)
I always remember a Gomer Pyle episode where he couldn't make some grade and his uncle revved him up by giving him a badge saying "Excelsior" and a stirring speech about how Teddy Roosevelt had worn it in charging up San Juan Hill.
After Gomer's victory, the uncle takes the badge and pops it onto the front of his refrigerator -- 'twas merely a mfgr's logo that had come off. So many episodes of seemingly shallow sitcoms taught great lessons with pizzazz (the whole point of entertainment if you ask me). Now the only moral is that bleck peepul are the perfect creatures of the universe, and white authority figures aren't even worth spitting at.
