Washington, July 18 (ANI): Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain has said that voters across the country should have the right to prevent Muslims from building mosques in their communities.
In an interview, the former CEO of Godfather's Pizza said that he sided with some in a town near Nashville who were trying to prevent Muslims from worshiping in their community.
"Our Constitution guarantees the separation of church and state," Politico quoted Cain, as saying.
"Islam combines church and state. They're using the church part of our First Amendment to infuse their morals in that community, and the people of that community do not like it. They disagree with it," he said.
When asked if any community could ban a mosque if it wanted to, Cain said that 'they have a right to do that.'
Cain claimed he was not discriminating against Muslims. He said it was 'totally different' than the fight for racial equality because there were laws prohibiting blacks from advancing. (ANI)
