QOTD: Arsalan Iftikhar
by digby
I watched this live on CNN yesterday and it was pretty great:
ARSALAN IFTIKHAR (The Islamic Monthly): “Anytime somebody says ‘Barack Obama is a Muslim’…I feel like Jerry Seinfeld should jump out and say ‘Not that there’s anything wrong with that!’…”
“Clearly…Ben Carson has never read Article 6 of the United States Constitution which says that ‘no religious test shall ever be required for any office or public trust under the United States’…So not only should he drop out of the presidential campaign…He should probably retroactively fail 8th grade social studies class…”
Iftikhar is a human rights lawyer. Ben Carson is … not. But Carson feels that he is qualified to be president while Iftikhar must prove that he is not a Muslim fundamentalist.
By the way, this is the same fellow Don Lemon casually asked, “do you support ISIS?” a few months back.
