GOP leader in Texas says colleagues are trying to oust him for being Muslim

The Republican Party vice-chairman of Texas's third largest county said there is a movement to have him removed from his position because he's Muslim.

O'Brien has, without evidence, publicly accused Shafi of promoting Sharia law and being affiliated with terrorist groups.

She has written on Facebook that Shafi is a "fake Republican" who might have joined the party at the request of the Muslim Brotherhood to infiltrate the organization, the Post reported.

A member of the Texas Republican Party's 2018 platform committee came under fire this week after he proudly declared himself a "white nationalist."

I wasn’t sure weather to post this in politics or in discussion. It sounds like something you should see and politics.

So is this how the Republicans grow their party? By attacking current members? Without any evidence? Are they just taking their cue from Donald Trump? After all he is a nationalist too. How do we know? He told us!

This news is fine with me.....as long as the GOP makes asses of themselves and chase away anyone they perceive as not WASP-like, they will die as a party. Again, that news is fine with me.

Well, there goes any leftover Muslims. That were voting for Republicans because Republicans are conservative.

Now they know the truth about Republicans. If they didn’t already.

Well, you can laugh at Republicans. The problem here is that the racism and hate just aren’t funny.

Should Republicans have a litmus test on religion? Maybe this should be in the religious section?

It is when they get in their own food fight with it.

Seems to me that they need all the members they can get but this is Texas so maybe they don't.

Personally I don't. understand why a muslim would be a republican. As that person is learning, republicans hate muslims.

The Republicans should not chase him or his supporters away. They should do what the Democrats / Hillary did to Bernie - wait until he runs for the Presidency then F* him and his followers over, giving his deserved nomination to some rejected, hand-picked criminal.

If you eliminate everyone who isn't male, white and christian, how do you expect to win elections?

 

[easyt65]

Not true. Unlike Obama, Hillary, and Democrats, Republicans hate Islamic Extremists / Terrorists, not Muslims.

Ask Hillary....I guess you could TRY to collude with / pay foreign spies and Russians for their help...but it didn't work out too well for her.

It's that classic conservative projection. They have it down to an art form.

Conservatives want and have been working to turn the United States into a christian theocracy. So they expect everyone to want to turn the United States into a theocracy with their religion.

They don't have the capacity to understand that everyone isn't like them.

Yet an overwhelming majority of Americans, and even illegal Mexican-Americans are.

Obama's shipped-in Somalian Muslims don't count.

I just watched an interview from the guy. He was asked the very same question. He said the reason is because he came from a country with a repressive government. And so he believes in the Republicans small government mantra.

He came here from his country where he was a surgeon. Here he’s been a trauma specialist saving American lives. And he became a citizen in the 90s.

Definitely sounds like somebody that should be a Democrat. Someone that couldn’t fit in with the Republican Party. We’re seeing that now. Is this really a surprise to anybody?
