Tennessee Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey is currently a member of Republican Party, stated publicly that Islam is arguably less a faith than a cult.  “Now, you could even argue whether being a Muslim is actually a religion, or is it a nationality, way of life, cult whatever you want to call it”. Later Mr. Ramsey asked the American Muslims to denounce the extremism and terrorism. “My concern is that far too much of Islam has come to resemble a violent political philosophy more than peace-loving religion.  It is time for American Muslims who love this country to publicly renounce violent jihadism and to drum those who seek to do America harm out of their faith community.”

Now here’s a little analysis of his statement. First of all, such a statement is directly against the constitution. The constitutional protections are never designed for some selective group of people. Every country of the world, provides constitutional protection to it’s minorities, regardless of cast, creed or religion. So if anyone gives such a statement, he is either disobeying the constitution or it depicts that the constitution of that particular country cannot provide protection to it’s minorities, which is indeed a shame for the country. Ramsey’s statement depicts that he was denying the fundamental rights and the protection to the diversified population of U.S.A.
