"Ben Carson Again Explains Concerns with Muslim President"
By: Eric Bradner, CNN
This article discusses how Republican candidate, Ben Carson, earlier stated that he "would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation". The article focuses on how he feels about this now and he has essentially apologized for what he has said. But he also did state that he feels that you cannot put the Constitution over the Islamic religion based off everything the religion entails.
I chose this article because I feel that it is absolutely crazy that one would say this. So far, I have followed a lot of what is going on politically and have watched the Republican debates. I feel that America should be a country where everyone should feel free to practice their own religion, follow their own beliefs etc. and not be discriminated for doing so. If a Muslim decides to run for president and majority of the country votes for him or her, they should be allowed to be president. The article also proves that in general, once you say something, you cannot take it back, and although Carson has tried to state things to make his one claim okay, no one will forget that he did say it.
