I don't understand how a Muslim can represent a community which legally is bound to follow the U.S. Constitution? The individual would have to make a decision to support the Constitution instead of Islamic Law. If he can ignore the Islamic laws regarding women's rights and freedom of religion for all citizens and support the Constitution then he would be able to perform just as well as anyone.

Well plenty of Christians overlook their religion to run the government so I guess a Muslim can do it too.

Give me ambiguity or give me something else.

The Tarant County (Ft Worth) GOP appoints this guy (who is a surgeon) as vice-chairman. Then one person in the party starts a movement to have him removed due to his religion.

At this point it's not "members" of the GOP nor is it widespread, it's one lone nut (which doesn't make it any less egregious). In fact, given my skepticism of pretty much all political reporting anytime, this one actually seems to be grade A.


I've gone over her Facebook page. It's the stereotypical stuff. I guess to give you the picture, imagine Phyllis from Mulga (or whatever, I never watch the show) only on an anti-Islam rant rather than an anti-Auburn one. And subtract about 50 IQ points.

What the party needs to do is vote to reaffirm this guy and vote out Ms O'Brien.


Maybe tell her no Irish need apply......

Of course the redneck who wanted her kicked out is addle brained...but the Muslim that wants to be a party chair in the current GOP must be nuts as well.

remember, these folks elected trump and still support him. they actually believe this stuff.
Kind of like when they happily supported Trump saying Mexico would write a check and pay for the wall but now they are all melting down because the American taxpayer is not willing to fund this boondoggle. Try to pin them down and the only thing consistent is them following whatever the Orange Disgrace in spouting at the time.

Vote was tonight. Motion to remove him defeated 139-49.
I did see where the guy had strong support and it was one nut leading this. But getting 48 others to vote with him is sad.

Like it or not the U.S. Constitution was written based on Judeo/Christian principles. Maybe you should spend some time studying history. Islamic law is in direct contradiction with our Constitution with regard to individual rights and is also very un PC. Although you are very PC for thinking a Muslim would ignore their Islamic upbringing and embrace western values.
