Can an American be elected in Iran, Syria, or Saudi Arabia?

Carson, meanwhile, was asked Sunday whether a president's faith should matter to voters.

"I guess it depends on what that faith is," he said. "If it's inconsistent with the values and principles of America, then of course it should matter. But if it fits within the realm of America and consistent with the Constitution, no problem."

Asked whether Islam is consistent with the Constitution, Carson said: "No, I don't -- I do not."

He said he is open, though, to voting for a Muslim for Congress.

"Congress is a different story, but it depends on who that Muslim is and what their policies are, just like it depends on what anybody else is," Carson said. "If there's somebody who is of any faith but they say things and their life has been consistent with things that will elevate this nation and make it possible for everybody to succeed and bring peace and harmony, then I'm with them."

Carson said he has no reason to believe President Barack Obama isn't a Christian.

>> Any serious bigot who says "Any serious Muslim could not be a contender for the American presidency" is unqualified to be an American.

Carson was exactly right. The Muslim religion is inconsistent with the principles on which the United States was formed and on which it operates today.

Maybe Carson is basing his opinion on the Muslim President we have now.
