Scott Barrish Anti-Islam

Scott Barrish of Florida, a Republican candidate for Hillsborough Clerk of Circuit Court, has stirred up a major firestorm with an email to CAIR, saying “Islam is not a religion.”
Barrish sent his email to Hassan Shibly, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. He was responding to a Tampa Tribune opinion piece by Shibly that criticized the Hernando County Republican Party for hosting U.S. Rep. Allen West and Senate candidate Adam Hasner,
