Ron Ramsey, Tennessee's Lieutenant Governor and a candidate for the Republican gubernatorial primary, is claiming Islam, the world's second largest religion, may not be a religion after all. Ramsey, lagging in polls in the Republican gubernatorial primary race, claims he's not sure if Constitutional guarantees of freedom of religion apply to Islam, since, he says, Islam may be a cult, and not a religion. For an elected official to suggest that Muslims are not entitled to First Amendment protection is so outrageous as to be near criminal.
