Carson: ‘Schizophrenic’ Shariah Muslims in U.S. Can’t Integrate

Dr. Ben Carson says Muslims who claim to be faithful to the U.S. Constitution and Shariah law are “schizophrenic.”

The Republican presidential hopeful appeared on Breitbart News Daily on SiriusXM on Tuesday and was asked whether devout Muslims can credibly claim they are loyal to America’s founding principles.

Do you think that Muslims that are Shariah-adherent can … integrate into a society where you have the rule of law and … a federal system?” Carson was asked, Mediaite reported.

“Only if they’re schizophrenic,” the retired neurosurgeon replied. “I don’t see how they could do it otherwise, because you have two different philosophies warring at you. … So, no. That would be very difficult. That’s why Teddy Roosevelt said what he said. He said you’re welcome to come here from any place and [practice] any religion as long as you accept our ways and want to be an American. If you don’t, then stay where you are” . . .

The Republican presidential candidate has never been one to shy away from a question on radical Islam. A September appearance on “Meet the Press” with NBC’s Chuck Todd enraged Muslim activists when Carson said he would not be in favor of having a Shariah-practicing American as the commander in chief.
