GOP presidential candidate Ben Carson said Tuesday Muslims who follow Sharia law have to be "schizophrenic" to integrate into a free society.

Carson was interviewed on "Breitbart News Daily," where he was asked by host Stephen K. Bannon if "Sharia-adherent" Muslims could "actually be part of a society and integrate into a society where you have the rule of law and you are a democratic republic."

"Only if they're schizophrenic," Carson answered. "I don't see how they're gonna do it otherwise because you'd have two different philosophies boring at you in contradiction to one another. So, no, that would be very difficult."

Carson said he disagrees with former President George W. Bush's assessment that Islam is a "religion of peace."

"If you accept all the components of Islam, including Sharia, then it is not a religion of peace, it is a religion of domination," Carson said.

Many people agree with Bush, he said, "because they bought into it."

He suggested listeners read up on Islam's founder, Muhammad, and how his religious philosophy developed.

"To me it's just somebody who lived a life who is in no way comparable to Jesus Christ," Carson said.
