If an American presidential candidate were to mention this, he’d win by a landslide.

One or two of these presidential candidates emphasize the need for truth. But we need some UGLY truths, especially about ISLAM.

I’ve written lengthy articles about this  enemy, and I have cited the most respectable authors, including moderns like Alexis de Tocqueville and Winston Churchill, and ancients like Saint Thomas Aquinas, the greatest Catholic theologian; and I have even cited Syrian-born psychiatrist Wafa Sultan, who does not even regard Islam as a civilization! 

There are dozens of ex-Muslims that regard Islam as a scourge, and who forthrightly believe that the salvation of Muslims depends on their renunciation of Islam.

This being the case, why isn’t there a single American presidential candidate possessing enough moral courage to cite what even former Muslims have said about the viciousness of Islam? 

Are they silenced by the First Amendment’s right about Freedom of Speech, or about the Constitution’s guarantee about freedom of religion?
