Ron Ramsey, who is currently (one might say justifiably) running third in the state's Republican gubernatorial primary race, is apparently  not sure if the Constitution's guarantees of freedom of religion apply to Islam, which happens to be the world's second-largest religion - right after Ramsey's own religion.]]></description>
