Remember what he said about having a religious test for President that Muslims can't pass? Well now the entire GOP field-and not just the candidates but GOP Congressmen and Governors are channeling their own inner Ben Carson.

Remember Dr. Ben's claim that China was in Syria? That gem seems to originate with his wildeyed anti Muslim adviser.

The one way that Jeb is differentiating with his brother is negative. He wants to talk of a war with 'radical Islam.'

Overall, this is a victory for ISIS as well as it doesn't want the Syrian refugees to escape and needs to convince the Muslim world that we are in a war against Islam.
Here is what President Obama said regarding the rise of Dr. Benism since Friday:
In his prepared remarks, Obama said, “We also have to remember that many of these refugees are the victims of terrorism themselves. That’s what they’re fleeing. Slamming the door in their faces would be a betrayal of our values.” But during the question-and-answer session, he became passionate on this question, his voice growing louder and more urgent:
“When I hear folks say that, ‘Well, maybe we should just admit the Christians and not the Muslims,’ when I hear political leaders suggesting that there would be a religious test for which person who’s fleeing from a war-torn country is admitted? When some of those folks themselves come from families who benefited from protection when they were fleeing political persecution? That’s shameful. That’s not American. That’s not who we are. We don’t have religious tests to our compassion. When Pope Francis came to visit the United States and gave a speech before Congress, he didn’t just speak about Christians who are being persecuted. He didn’t call on Catholic parishes just to admit those who are of the same religious faith. He said, protect people who are vulnerable. And so I think it is very important for us right now, particularly those who are in leadership, particularly those who have a platform and can be heard, not to fall into that trap, not to feed that dark impulse inside of us.”
