This is an election year, and Muslims are running for office all over the country. Most are doing so without a whisper of protest. People don't realize that Islam is an uncompromising theocracy that demands total obedience from its followers, and that includes Muslims seeking public office. Ironically, they are using the protection of the Constitution's First Amendment to destroy the First Amendment.

I would bet that at least 90 percent of the voters in America would honestly say that a person's religion, or lack of religion, is not an important consideration. Unfortunately, this is one of those cases where what you don't know CAN hurt you. Islam is extremely dangerous and totally incompatible with our Constitution.

In fact, Muslims see our Constitution as a man-made abhorrence, an evil that needs to be replaced with Allah's law, which is based on Allah's book, the Koran, and Allah's prophet, Muhammad. Islam requires Muslims who live in non-Muslim countries to work towards that goal, otherwise they are living a life of "continuous sin." (Verse 4:100 in The Koran, as explained by Tafsir Ibn Kathir. See also Sayyid Mawdudi's 'Toward Understanding the Quran,' pg. 131, footnote 71 to Verse 4:100)

Muslim office seekers will, of course, deny this, and here is where things get very, very interesting, because you can never believe a Muslim. Never. Islam REQUIRES Muslims to lie if the lie is necessary to achieve what Allah has commanded, and Allah has commanded that Islam rule the world, whether you or I like it or not. (Verse 9:33)

In such a world, only Muslims would rule. The Koran would replace the Constitution and the Supreme Court would be replaced by religious authorities who would settle any dispute by referring to "the Qur'an and the Sunnah (Muhammad's life and sayings) and all concerned should faithfully accept the judgement that is arrived at." (Mawdudi pg. 121)

No church bells would ring, nine-year-old girls would become brides, recalcitrant wives would be beaten, fornicators would publicly receive 100 lashes, slaves could be owned and thieves would have their hands amputated, starting with the right hand. The latter is from Verse 5:38 and is "a punishment by way of example from Allah."

I detail most of this, and much more, in my little pamphlet, "How to read the Koran (and understand Islam)." It's a pretty quick read, 20 minutes, max, Introduction to Conclusion. There are a number of appendixes which flesh things out, but 20 minutes is all you need to get the essence of Islam.
All of this should be common knowledge but it isn't. Islam is protected from critical scrutiny by the mainstream media and defended by "Islam is peace" politicians. Add the Pope, many other religious leaders, and everyone who wants to undo a world order which they see as hopelessly unequal, unfair, racist, etc., and that's where we are today.

The useful idiots who ally with Islam had better beware of getting what they wish for. With Islam, they are riding a tiger that has been devouring the foolish for over 1400 years.

So, if you think America should remain a Constitutional Republic, you should never vote for a Muslim. Never. Ex-Muslims are OK, but not mosque-goers. Ayan Hirsi Ali, for example, is an ex –Muslim I'd vote for in a second, regardless of her party.

(Those who think that not voting for a Muslim is racist, but not if that same person is an ex-Muslim, are deeply intellectual progressives who embrace racial fluidity along with gender fluidity. You should never vote for them, either. Never.)
