Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson recently said a Muslim wouldn’t make a good president because his or her views would be in conflict with the Constitution. Additionally, a questioner at a Donald Trump rally stated that Muslims are a problem in our country, and Trump didn’t disagree. Really? While I’m a Christian, we are not a country built on Christianity. We are built on religious freedom. Maybe Carson and Trump should spend less time spreading their hate, bigotry and intolerance and more time reading a history book.
I hope the country wakes up and makes sure neither of these two becomes our leader.
