A Republican running unopposed for a seat in the Louisiana legislature is standing by a Facebook post he wrote last year that called for people to boycott businesses owned by followers of Islam.

Michael Duke Lowrie, who is the lone candidate running for the District 8 seat for the Louisiana legislature, wrote a Facebook status in November 2015 that responded to a 'kill' list of U.S. cities shared online by ISIS.

'Many of you may or may not know but Shreveport — Bossier was one of the cities on the Islamist kill lists,' Lowrie, who is a married father-of-three, wrote.

Lowrie, who is the lone candidate running for the District 8 seat for the Louisiana legislature, wrote a Facebook status (above) in November 2015 that responded to a 'kill' list of U.S. cities shared online by ISIS

'Perhaps they despise our hospitality here or our over the top support for our military.

'Regardless the fact is the Islamist seek to kill us and make us submit to their false religion and god (sic).

'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.'

Lowrie, who works as a firefighter and paramedic, then called on others on the social media site to boycott 'any business that owned or ran by islamist (sic).'

Lowrie (above right with Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio) said he still stands by what he wrote last year. He said: 'We are a Christian nation. The threat of Islamic terrorism is real'

'I will challenge every islamist (sic) I see to denounce their false god and religion,' Lowrie wrote.

The post ended with him telling anyone who may be offended to 'promptly unfriend me and seek the friendship of the islamist (sic).'

In a statement about the Facebook post to the Shreveport Times this week, Lowrie said he still stands by what he wrote last year.

'We are a Christian nation,' he said Friday. 'The threat of Islamic terrorism is real.

'Too many times, politicians are sometimes so afraid to speak the truth because of the PC culture in which we live.

'I'll call it how I see it. We must tackle Islamic extremism head on. I believe President Trump will do that.'

Lowrie announced that he would be running for the open district seat on Thursday, as the election is scheduled to be held on March 25.

When he announced his campaign, Lowrie said if elected he planned to 'stand for the ideals we value in Bossier, even if that means I am standing alone.'

He listed his plans as to 'protect life at all costs' and 'stand up for our 2nd Amendment gun rights.'
