Tennessee Candidate Asks If Islam Is Cult

July 29, 2010 | ISSUE 46•30

At an event earlier this month, Tennessee gubernatorial candidate Ron Ramsey questioned whether Islam was a religion or a cult, drawing criticism from Muslim leaders. What do you think?

  • Alex Smerdyakov Unemployed

    "There's no such thing as a stupid question, unless you're a gubernatorial candidate and you ask whether Islam is a cult."

  • Hans Schultz Bricklayer

    "He must have chosen that time to ask because the crowd contained so many scholars of Islam."

  • Lexie Brock Property Manager

    "What an absolutely horrible thing to say out loud."
