Republican Presidential candidate Ben Carson is not the only one being provocative during racing time, Republican Herman Caine also did his coming out in 2011. During an interview to 'Christianity Today', he declared that 'based upon the little knowledge that I have of the Muslim religion, they have an objective to convert all infidels or kill them.'
Interviewd by Thinkprogress (March 26), Herman Cain said 'There is this creeping attemp, there is this attemp to gradually ease Sharia law and the Muslim faith into our government. It does not belong in our government. This is what happened in Europe. And little by little, to try and be politically correct, they made this little change, they made this little change. And now they've got a social problem that they don't know what to do with hardly.'
As a Reminder :
The NO RELIGIOUS TEST CLAUSE of the United States Constitution ““ Article VI, paragraph 3
'The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be found by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution, but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.'

On the 'Glenn Beck Program' radio show May 24, 2011, the Republican presidential hopeful tried to rebut accusations that in March he said he would not appoint Muslims to Cabinet positions or Federal Judgeships in a potential Cain Administration. 'I did not say that I would not have them in my Cabinet. Because if you look at my career, I have hired good people regardless of race, religion, sex, gender or orientation and this sort of thing.'
Just after the interview given to ThinkProgress, Herman Cain was on Fox News 'Your world with Neil Cavuto'. Herman Cain, to the question 'Would you appoint a Muslim to my administration ?' he said 'No. And here's why... I would have to have people totally committed to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. And many of the Muslim, they're not totally dedicated to this country.'
In April, 2011, to radio host Bryan Fischer, he said '(T)he comment I made that became controversial, and my staff keeps hoping will die, is that I wouldn't have Muslims in my administration. And it's real simple. The Constitution does not have room for Sharia law... and to introduce that element as part of an administration when we've got all of these other issues, I think I have the right to say that I won't.'
