  • In a statement to The Times, Lowrie said, "We are a Christian nation. The threat of Islamic terrorism is real. Too many times, politicians are sometimes so afraid to speak the truth because of the political correctness culture in which we live."

    He further said, "I'll call it how I see it. We must tackle Islamic extremism head-on. I believe Trump will do that."

  • Lowrie wrote, "Many of you may or may not know but Shreveport - Bossier was one of the cities on the Islamist kill lists."

    Citing this, he continued, "There are many who worship, if you call it that, Islam here among us. I do not believe they deserve the peace of our culture or the continued fruits of our society while following this religion."

  • "I for one will no longer knowingly go to or do business with any establishment that has someone who I know is a follower of Islam working there. I will challenge every Islamist (sic) I see to denounce their false god and religion," Lowrie wrote.

    Friends, I ask to support me by boycotting any businesses owned or ran by Islamist (sic)," he urged.
