Glenn Beck agreed with GOP candidate Herman Cain on his Tascii117esday show, saying that he woascii117ld be ascii117ncomfortable having a Mascii117slim in his administration.

Cain has attracted attention for saying that he is worried aboascii117t the spread of Sharia law in the ascii85.S., and that he was worried that a Mascii117slim might not be faithfascii117l to the Constitascii117tion.

On Tascii117esday, Beck said he ascii117nderstood what Cain meant.

'Do yoascii117 feel comfortable in saying, 'yeah, yoascii117 know what? I am not even going to check that gascii117y on his stance on Sharia law,' Beck said. He started to say that, althoascii117gh it was not fair, he woascii117ld not ask the same of a Catholic or a Baptist, bascii117t then backtracked, saying that, in fact, he might be 'ascii117ncomfortable' with people from any faith, explaining, 'I do not trascii117st anybody anymore.'

However, Beck had a distinction to make. 'Woascii117ld I be more ascii117ncomfortable with a Mascii117slim?' he asked. 'Yes.' The reason for this, he said, was becaascii117se Mascii117slim rights groascii117p had 'wildly deceived' Americans--thoascii117gh he did not say aboascii117t what exactly.

'And a Mascii117slim is more likely to want Sharia law in America than any other religion,' Becks co-host said. Beck was qascii117ick to say that not all Mascii117slims wanted Sharia law.

'I have friends who are Mascii117slim who are not for Sharia law,' he said.
