- 9 years ago
A prominent U.S. Islamic group this morning called for Ben Carson to withdraw from the 2016 presidential race after his weekend comment that he would not support a Muslim for president.
"Mr. Ben Carson is wrong today to assume and say that American Muslims should not be president of the U.S.," Nihad Awad , national executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations , said at a news conference today.
"We ask Mr. Ben Carson to withdraw from the presidential race because he is unfit to lead because his views are in contradiction with the U.S. Constitution."
"We do not know how he can lead and take the highest position in this land," Awad said at CAIR's headquarters on Capitol Hill .
