| 0:00.0 | Today's episode is inspired by a question I got asked from a conservative student at a |
| 0:07.7 | tabling event I recently did with Turning Point USA. And the student had an issue. He had something |
| 0:13.4 | that he was kind of frustrated about. And it was this idea of conservatives saying that Islam |
| 0:20.0 | is not compatible with the West or more specifically |
| 0:23.0 | not compatible with the United States. And in his mind, this was almost like selling America |
| 0:30.2 | short. I want to make it clear like the perspective he was coming from. This was coming from a |
| 0:34.5 | student that was patriotic, that was conservative, but he felt like this was just kind of an inappropriate exclusivity that we would tell an entire religion that essentially they're not welcome here or that they're not compatible with our civilization. |
| 0:51.0 | And I get where he's coming from. |
| 0:53.1 | I think all of us as Americans, we look at the First Amendment, we look at our history of |
| 0:57.5 | religious freedom, and we have this mindset that, well, of course, you should be free to |
| 1:02.1 | practice your religion here because if we start excluding one religion, well, then doesn't |
| 1:06.6 | that open up the gate for more religions to be excluded? And I think it's a valid question. |

| 1:17.4 | I know individual Muslims who I think are great patriots, who have served this country, |
| 1:23.6 | who love this country, who love our constitution. And what I say that that person needs to leave this country or that they as an individual |
| 1:31.8 | are incompatible with the West? |
| 1:33.3 | No, I would not. |
| 1:35.3 | Now, we can debate all day long on whether or not they are faithfully living out their Islamic |
| 1:41.3 | faith, because Islam does have something to say about our system of government |
| 1:44.9 | and our way of life. But we can distinguish between an individual and the way that they live |
| 1:53.1 | or the way that they practice something and an entire ideology, or in this case, a theology and |
| 1:58.6 | worldview. And my argument back to the student was, |
