Islamist Group CAIR Calls on Ben Carson to Withdraw from Presidential Race
The Council on American-Islamic Relations, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2004 Holy Land Foundation terror-f..., announced on Sunday the group will be calling on Dr. Ben Carson to drop out of the race for the Republican Party presidential nomination over Carson’s statement he would not support having a Muslim as U.S. president.
Carson made his statement in an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday morning, explaining he does not believe the values of Islam are consistent with the Constitution of the United States.
CAIR made the announcement in a press release (excerpted below) sent out Sunday afternoon on PR Newswire.
“On Monday, September 21 (at 11 .am.), the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, will hold a news conference at its Capitol Hill headquarters to call on Republican candidate Ben Carson to withdraw from the presidential race for saying today that Islam is “inconsistent” with the Constitution and that a Muslim should not be elected president.
…””Mr. Carson clearly does not understand or care about the Constitution, which clearly states that ‘no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office,'” said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad. “We call on our nation’s political leaders – across the political spectrum – to repudiate these unconstitutional and un-American statements and for Mr. Carson to withdraw from the presidential race.”
“He said this incident demonstrates why the Constitution is needed to protect Americans of all faiths.”
CAIR’s call for Carson to withdraw from the GOP presidential race may violate the group’s 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status which bars such entities from making statements in support of or in opposition to political candidates.
“Under the Internal Revenue Code, all section 501(c)(3) organizations are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office…”
The link CAIR included at the bottom of its press release targeting Dr. Carson goes to www.cair.com. The donation page for www.cair.com states: “CAIR Foundation is a 501(c)(3) under federal tax guidelines. TAX ID: 77-0646756”
CAIR posted a video clip to YouTube of Carson’s remarks made on Meet the Press to host Chuck Todd on Sunday.

Rand Paul blames Hillary for refugee crisis
By Bradford Richardson
Getty ImagesSen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) says Hillary Clinton’s actions while secretary of State contributed to the current migrant crisis in the Middle East.
“And I think, frankly, that Hillary Clinton bears some responsibility for the crisis,” Paul said on CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday.
The dovish senator said Clinton’s policy of providing arms to Syrian rebels in the ongoing civil war only enflamed the situation.
“They say, ‘Oh, we’re going to give them to good people,’ but it really wasn’t possible I think to find the good people and so many of the people were al Qaeda, al Nusra and some of these people became ISIS,” Paul said. “So it was really a bad idea and continues to be a bad idea to arm the allies of ISIS, to arm the allies of al Qaeda.”
Clinton called for the U.S. to take 65,000 refugees from war-torn Syria earlier on the program.
“I think we do have to be a little bit wary,” he said. “I mean we brought 65,000 from Iraq after the Iraq War and part of me says, 'Well, we won the war, why wouldn’t the people who were pro-west, why wouldn’t we have wanted them to stay in Iraq and help rebuild the country? Why would we take out 65,000 of the best people?' ”
President Obama’s administration has committed to taking 10,000 Syrian refugees so far.

Donald Trump: It Wasn’t the Swedes Who Blew Up World Trade Center (VIDEO)
Donald Trump went on State of the Union Sunday with Jake Tapper. During the discussion Tapper questioned him on the Muslim problem.
Trump reminded Tapper, “It wasn’t people from Sweden who blew up the World Trade Center, Jake.”
The Examiner reported:
After refusing to reprimand a supporter who talked about the “problem” with Muslims in the United States at a town hall this week, Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump doubled down Sunday, saying there is a “very severe problem” with some Muslims.
“It wasn’t people from Sweden who blew up the World Trade Center,” Trump told Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“I get that — but to say we have a problem and it’s called Muslims because there are some extremist Muslims, is tarring all Muslims,” said Tapper.
“Well I don’t agree with that at all, but you have extremist Muslims that are in a class by themselves,” said Trump, who leads the Washington Examiner’s presidential power rankings. “It is a problem in this country and it’s a problem throughout the world. I mean all you have to do is look at Europe.”

Carson doubles down on no Muslims in the White House
Republican presidential hopeful Ben Carson is standing by his view that a Muslim should not be president of the United States, telling The Hill in an interview on Sunday that whoever takes the White House should be “sworn in on a stack of Bibles, not a Koran.”
Carson ignited a media firestorm in a Sunday morning interview with Chuck Todd on "Meet the Press," in which he said he “would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation.”ADVERTISEMENT
“I absolutely would not agree with that,” Carson said.
In an interview with The Hill, Carson opened up about why he believes a Muslim would be unfit to serve as commander in chief.
“I do not believe Sharia is consistent with the Constitution of this country,” Carson said. “Muslims feel that their religion is very much a part of your public life and what you do as a public official, and that’s inconsistent with our principles and our Constitution.”
Carson said that the only exception he’d make would be if the Muslim running for office “publicly rejected all the tenants of Sharia and lived a life consistent with that.”
“Then I wouldn’t have any problem,” he said.
However, on several occasions Carson mentioned "Taqiya," a practice in Shia Islam in which a Muslim can mislead nonbelievers about the nature of their faith to avoid persecution.
“Taqiya is a component of Shia that allows, and even encourages you to lie to achieve your goals,” Carson said.
Pushing back at the media firestorm over his remarks, Carson sought to frame himself as one of the few candidates running for president willing to tell hard truths.
“We are a different kind of nation,” Carson said. “Part of why we rose so quickly is because we wouldn’t allow our values or principles to be supplanted because we were going to be politically correct… part of the problem today is that we’re so busy trying to be politically correct, that we lose all perspective.”
Carson told The Hill that the question of a Muslim president is largely “irrelevant” because no Muslims are running in 2016. He said the question, which Todd is posing to all of the Republican presidential hopefuls who go on his show, “may well have been” gotcha journalism meant to trip the candidates up.
However, he acknowledged the question “served a useful purpose by providing the opportunity to talk about what Sharia is and what their goals are.”
“So often we get into these irrelevant things, because obviously if a Muslim was running for president, there would be a lot more education about Sharia, about Taqiya," Carson said.
The issue burst onto the scene last week when GOP front-runner Donald Trump declined to correct a questioner at a campaign rally who declared that President Obama is a Muslim.
Carson said that if put in the same situation, he would have corrected the person at the rally.
“I certainly would not have accepted the premise of a question like that,” Carson said.
However, Carson declined to criticize Trump, saying those kinds of on-the-spot moments can be difficult to handle in the heat of the moment.
“[Trump] may not have been ready for that,” Carson said. “I can tell you from experience a lot of these things are much easier when you’re quarterbacking from the armchair the next day.”

Christie tells GOP to defund Planned Parenthood
By Timothy Cama
Getty ImagesCongress should go ahead and vote to defund Planned Parenthood, even though Republicans know President Obama would veto the bill, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) said on Sunday.
Christie, who is running for president for next year’s election, said it is important for the Republican majorities in the House and Senate to show voters that they do not want any federal funding to go to the health clinic federation, which provides abortions.
He told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” Sunday that he is frustrated that Republican lawmakers have not acted on Planned Parenthood, an ObamaCare replacement or tax reform.ADVERTISEMENT
“We gave them majorities in 2010 in the House and then in 2014 in the Senate, and they’ve done nothing with them. They need to do some things,” Christie said.
“Now, if the president’s going to veto them, that’s the president’s choice. But at least let the American people know who the obstructionist is.”
Christie’s comments came amid continuing uproar about videos that Planned Parenthood foes say show that the organization sells aborted fetal tissue for profit.
“Let the American people see that he stands with the folks who believe that the systematic murder of children in the womb, in a way that preserves the body parts to be sold on the open market for profit is something that he stands for,” he said.
In August, Christie said the GOP should not cause a government shutdown over Planned Parenthood funding, since “we didn’t do too well when we shut down the government last time.”
He didn’t disagree with that Sunday, but he was forceful in his opinion that the GOP needs to take more action.
The House voted Friday to stop federal funding from going to Planned Parenthood and its network.

MUST SEE=> Conservative Steve Malzberg Calls Out CNN for Selectively Editing Trump’s Quote on Muslims
On Sunday, billionaire businessman Donald Trump went on State of the Union with Jake Tapper to discuss his campaign for president of the United States. During the discussion Tapper questioned Trump on the Muslim problem.
What Bias?
Trump reminded Tapper, “It wasn’t people from Sweden who blew up the World Trade Center, Jake.”
Later in the day conservative Steve Malzberg, host of The Malzberg Show on Newsmax TV, went on CNN to discuss Trump’s segment earlier in the day.
Malzberg called out CNN for selectively editing their clip to make Trump look bad.
“He’s a very strange devout Christian by his actions and policies and that’s fair to say… Trump never said anything. By the way the cut that you cut off at the end u cut off when Trump said they were a problem all over the world, he said specifically to Jake Tapper “with radical Muslims.” Radical. That wasn’t portrayed in this cut so that’s not fair to Donald Trump. I’m not his defender but I am an expert in media bias.”

Breaking: Gov. Scott Walker Dropping Out of Presidential Race
Good news for Democrats…
Governor Scott Walker is reportedly dropping from the 2016 presidential race.
The governor is holding a press conference at 6:00 PM tonight.Walker has a tremendous record as Republican governor of Wisconsin.
He’ll make a great Labor Secretary.
The New York Times reported:
Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin has concluded he no longer has a path to the Republican presidential nomination and plans to drop out of the 2016 campaign, according to three Republicans familiar with his decision, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Mr. Walker called a news conference in Madison at 6 p.m. Eastern time.
“The short answer is money,” said a supporter of Mr. Walker’s who was briefed on the decision. “He’s made a decision not to limp into Iowa.”
Mr. Walker’s intended withdrawal is a humiliating climb down for a Republican governor once seen as all but politically invincible. He started the year at the top of the polls but has seen his position gradually deteriorate, amid the rise of Donald J. Trump’s populist campaign and repeated missteps by Mr. Walker himself.
In the most recent CNN survey, Mr. Walker drew support nationally from less than one-half of one percent of Republican primary voters. He faced growing pressure to shake up his campaign staff, a step he was loath to take, according to Republicans briefed on his deliberations.
