A Texas county GOP's faction seeks to remove 'unsuitable' Muslim vice chair

Tarrant county Republicans in Texas will vote Thursday on an effort by a faction to remove their vice chairman, Shahid Shafi, because he's Muslim.

Fort Worth is the largest city in Tarrant county.

The campaign against Shafi, a trauma surgeon and member of the Southlake City Council, was mounted by a small group of Republicans led by Dorrie O'Brien, a precinct chairman from Grand Prairie.

O’Brien writes on Facebook that she “never doubted” her side has the votes to remove Shafi from his post.”

“We don’t think he’s suitable as a practicing Muslim to be vice chair because he’d be the representative for ALL Republicans in Tarrant County, and not ALL Republicans in Tarrant County think Islam is safe or acceptable.

Modern Republicans have changed - drastically. I used to vote more Republican than Democrat - until Reagan. Never again...

A feasibility study. Cut taxes in half. Just cut them all in half. For us all. Then lets see what happens. Let us all know the false foundation built up over the decades. Come on. You are a strong progressive socialist. I know there will be repercussions from Repub voters. But you guys will stand up in full strength and keep the faith without any violence and killings and no dictators elected.

Yep, that's stupid and unconstitutional. The would have to articulate official misconduct to even think of such a thing.

Simply put, it appears Repukes are crazy, drug addicts and alcoholics, traitors, whore mongers, and enemies against humanity and ultimately God.

What's wrong with Republicans? According to you, everything.

So why bother to ask?

So you agree that Republicans should ban Muslims from their ranks?

Where in that post could you infer that I agree with such a thing?

You didn't answer.

Where in that post could you infer that I would ever agree with such behavior?

Or are you too busy assigning beliefs to people that they don't posses?

Your post was more of a shoot the messenger than a condemnation of bigotry

Eh, no. I shot your premise full of holes. Your message and the sentiment behind it were hypocritical at best.

Sigh, that's all you want to do, say you're inclusive, then call anyone who doesn't absolutely agree with you a bigot.

I'm curious if you're even remotely aware of people in your own ranks engaging in similar bigotry? Or is it different when it's someone you agree with?

You have it all wrong I'm afraid.

It is only a few people within the Tarrant county chapter. From reading about it, it sounds as though they do not have the votes to oust him as vice chairman. He is backed up by Ted Cruz, and others within the party.
It seems some meetings were interrupted by some other Muslims trying to create a problem, and these few put the blame on his position within the party, as well as they lost the Tarrant county seat in the election. It sounds unwarranted.

Thankfully, this is an isolated case
A case where Republucans didn’t hide their bigotry. A case where they said publically what is usually said privately.

So if this were an isolated case, why are you labeling all Republicans in the same manner?

“What is wrong with Republicans?”

Most are frightened and ignorant, they fear change and diversity and incorrectly perceive both as a ‘threat.’

Conservatives’ fear and ignorance soon manifests a hate, bigotry, and racism – seeking to remove an 'unsuitable' Muslim is an example of that bigotry and hate.

Lol
You can take your little Muslims and shove them up your ass... Muslims are the most intolerant people on the planet

Don't lecture me about qualities you yourself don't exhibit or put into practice. Simply labeling people ignorant is a bigoted way to behave.

Maybe they just wanted to make sure he wasn't the kind of Muslim that wanted to throw gays off rooftops for being gay.

Oopsie...too much truth for you, rightwinger?

“…not ALL Republicans in Tarrant County think Islam is safe or acceptable.”

And this is the essence of rightwing bigotry and hate: ignorance conjoined with an unwarranted fear of that which is incorrectly perceived to be a ‘threat.’

There is nothing about Islam that is ‘unsafe.’

There is nothing about Islam that is ‘unacceptable.’

Indeed, what’s clearly unsafe and unacceptable is the bigotry and hate common to most conservatives.

Except when their radical faction stones gays or throws them off roofs, of course. Or chops up the labia of their women, or throws them under burkas and doesn't allow them to drive or hold down jobs.

Too much truth for you? You need more? Want to hear about honor killings?

Broad brushing the shit out of this aren't you did you fail to notice the support from a lot of prominent Republicans ? Of course you did you fell for the click-bait type headline.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

This is certainly not the way you grow your party.

 

[mudwhistle]

I don't know, but we know what's wrong with Dimocraps.

Spoken like a party cheerleader unable to articulate a counter point. What was that one thread of yours....wait, it will come to me...

But for the sake of conversation here. There are idiots on both sides. Did the R's in this case have any performance issues with the person they removed or was it purely an anti-that religion thing?

You and I both know this is a "lessor of two evils" situation.
Nobody can deny that both parties have bad actors in them.
This is no defense for the Democrat Party.
Just because a few Republicans have sold us out it doesn't mean have to accept a Democrat Party that is totally committed to criminal activity.

Love this!

Keep the hate coming Republicans!

Love this.

The only hate I see is yours. No one wants Muslims in any form of Govt. I wouldn't trust one as far as I could throw him or her.

Take a look at Europe and tell me you would trust on.

Oh wait. I forgot. You would trust one because you are a blind fool. Never mind.
