A candidate for an open seat in the Louisiana Legislature has called for a ban on all businesses that are owned by or employ Muslims, according to The Times of Shreveport. Michael "Duke" Lowrie is running as a Republican for the 8th House District seat based in Bossier City.
quote:
Lowrie works for a local fire department. In 2015, he wrote a Facebook post saying he would no longer "go or do business" with any business that has a Muslim employee. "There are many who worship, if you call it that, islam here among us," Lowrie wrote. "I do not believe they deserve the peace of our culture or the continued fruits of our society while following this religion."
When contacted by news media last week, Lowrie did not back down from his previous statement. In addition to running for the 8th District seat, he is a member of the GOP State Central Committee.

There will be quite a few gas stations and Greek restaurants closing soon.

That's embarrassing if it's true.

He's right in a sense but Islam is a political moment hell bent on world domination, not a religion.

I would be good enough with the USA not giving Muslims and Indians for that matter the 10 year tax free treatment they currently abuse and also revoking any other privileges not afforded to the rest of us small business owners.

fricking idiot.

He is an idiot; however, it isn't like the Louisiana legislature isn't full of idiots.

He is in no way, shape, or form remotely close to being right.
His statements are completely against the freedoms granted to us by the constitution. If you can't see that, then you are either a brain damaged imbecile or a blatant racist.
Limiting the freedoms of others simply because they look differently or pray differently is wrong.
I'm all for securing our borders. I'm all for actions which limit the impacts of terrorism in our country. But to impede the freedoms of law abiding and productive citizens is flat out wrong.
ETA: corrected unfortunate typo.

He probably knows this is not possible, but is doing it for publicity...which he is getting. Success.

You lose those freedoms when you belong to a foreign political movement that at its very core calls for a worldwide conquest of non like thinkers.

Yeah but I bet 50% or more of his redneck supporters are behind him on this issue and think he could get into law. LOL

Exactly. If they want to work in La they can convert to Christianity. If not, there are other States. Amrite?

Smart. He'll probably win.
