SURAT TERBUKA : Kenapa pula orang Islam tidak layak menjadi
Presiden Amerika Syarikat? (Ditulis oleh seorang veteran perang US)
OPEN LETTER TO DR. BEN CARSON
Pardon me Dr. Carson,
Why are Muslims unfit to be a President of the US?
Last time I checked, Thomas Jefferson specifically included
Islam when arguing for freedom of religion, as he referred to the term:
“Mohammadans”. For your information,
Muslims were even among the crews of the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria when they
arrived at America’s shores. As a
retired veteran, I do know it is an undisputable fact that Muslim Americans
have played a vital role in the safety and welfare of our nation. They have
served in every conflict and war since the Revolutionary War.
You said in your new book, ” I believe a difference starts
with understanding our amazing founding document, the US Constitution.”
However, the Constitution specifies there shall be no
religious test for public office. Even
my 12 year old son knows that the Constitutional requirements to be president
are:
1. be at least 35 years old
2. be a natural-born US citizen
3. live in the US for 14 years.
You confound me even more when you say, “if I was in Trump’s
position, I would have corrected the person who asserted that Obama is a
Muslim.” But you ignored the fact that the same man in the audience in the New
Hampshire town hall meeting, also suggested we should get rid of Muslims in
America.
I’m sure you are a good doctor who performed brain surgery
thousands of times, but your were wrong on both accounts about Islams and our
Constitution. You were at least
consistent in your ignorance.
An apology to America’s Muslims is in order and I call upon
you to step down.
