Green is the color of Islam. Many are worried that Texas is moving towards Green, not by the radical left but by some of the GOP leadership.
The recent Tarrant County fiasco, in regard to the opposition of Dr. Shahid Shafi’s selection for the vice chair position of the Tarrant County Republican Party, is due to the posing of several legitimate concerns and the reception of no satisfactory answers. Consequently, there has been a justifiable uproar among members; some have even demanded that Darl Easton, the Tarrant County, Texas Republican Chair, resign. This issue has created a rift in the Texas GOP, which is not beneficial to anyone.
Texas Republicans are known for their unity and family values. So what went wrong?

I hope we can resolve this in a civilized fashion without any accusations or ad hominem attacks.
Dr. Shafi is an excellent physician and “a board certified General Surgeon who serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the Surgical Group of North Texas and also is a Councilman in the City of Southlake.”
The legitimate opposition to Dr. Shafi as vice chair is not directed at him personally. It has more to do with his system of belief. According to him, he is a devout and mosque-going Muslim. So does that make him unsuitable for the position he was selected to hold? Let’s examine that.
The word devout has a powerful meaning. It means the person who holds this belief has already gone through the Islamic indoctrination period and pledges allegiance to no other than to the ulama’ (Muslim scholars) and the prophet Muhammad.
I personally don’t trust the keen intellect of the so-called “Islamic scholars” in the service of Islam and the Quran. No doubt about their influence, and some, like Ghazali, have much erudition. I simply don’t share their sanitization of Islam, as they take phrases selectively from the Quran and bestow upon them the sacredness of the divine.
Undoubtedly, Western Civilization has shown a great tolerance towards non-Westerners, but “tolerance in the face of evil is not tolerance, it is a crime.” For example, Major Nidal Hasan, an Army psychiatrist who was also a self-acknowledged devout Muslim, massacred 13 people and injured more than 30 others in the Fort Hood mass shooting on November 5, 2009. Who can forget that?
As I wrote in a September article at Jihad Watch: “Islam and Sharia continue to furtively creep into every aspect of American culture. And too few people are talking about it. Why? Because Americans have been conditioned by the liberal elites to be tolerant and compassionate, to embrace multiculturalism and respect each other’s beliefs, ideals and values. That’s wonderful in a utopian world, but the fact is, Islam doesn’t embrace any aspect of Western civilization — much less American culture. We are rapidly and methodically being dismantled as a nation, and our freedom and liberty is more fragile than at any time since World War II. And while we fight the enemy abroad with combat troops, intelligence and drone strikes, we’re doing nothing to combat the same exact enemy that resides on our own soil in broad daylight.”
Clearly, the so-called 1.6 billion Muslims are not all jihadists working to obliterate civilization and impose Muhammad’s law over all of us. I emphatically know that active jihadists are a small minority. Yet it takes a blind eye to ignore militant minorities. Did Hitler become the Chancellor of Germany because he and his gang got the majority vote in Germany? More than 65% of Germans were not supporters of Hitler and his party, and viewed the Nazis as louts and worthless. Yet we all know what this little minority did while being dismissed as insignificant.
There are a lot of questions that this doctor needs to answer. According to Dorrie O’Brien, a Tarrant County Precinct Chair, Dr. Shafi is either intentionally refusing to respond or playing ignorant:
Example: He cannot support much of the RPT Platform (can’t, not won’t).
Specifically, the Preamble and the 1st Principle, because his god is Allah, not the Almighty.
(1st principle: 15 planks seem out of his reach: Such as: Plank 207: moving the embassy in Israel to Jerusalem? No. Plank 208: the right of Israel to exist? No. [He says he agrees with that.] Plank 68: American law for American courts? No. [He says he does.] Plank 177: CAIR is a terrorist organization? No. Plank 281: Defeat Terrorism and CAIR? No. CAIR is soft jihad which is still jihad and jihad, in one form or another, is incumbent upon all Muslims.
Dorrie continues:
We don’t think he’s suitable to be a representative of the Party for all Republicans in Tarrant County. There are too many questions around him. We precinct chairs have a duty to vet/know who our leaders are. It is in fact our responsibility to do this; we’re not rubber-stampers.
Talking with Dr. Shahid Shafi has proven to be impossible. He doesn’t answer questions; he speaks through others who carry his words; he states what he thinks or believes with no proof; we just have to take his word for it. He’s been given forums for well-practiced speeches, but has never subjected himself to serious cross-examination.
This is not a case for a court of law. Rules of evidence per se don’t apply. We ask our precinct chairs: Does this seem right to you? Does his behavior match up to your understanding of Republican principles? How many of us knew anything about this man before 7/14/18? Aren’t our leaders usually those we’ve all known for years and have a full résumé of grassroots accomplishments behind them before being appointed to a vice chair position?
I hope as mature individuals, we are able to sit down and discuss this important issue without further damaging our unity and our party.

Obama planted them carefully by ZIP CODE.

And Texas has the largest Muslim population in the U.S. with over 400,000 of them.

It’s all part of the “fundamental transformation” Obama promised us.
He purposely planted them by zip code. It doesn’t stop us from doing what is RIGHT!
Dr. Shahid Shafi is bad news. He tried to be coy and not understand what SHARIA LAW is and finally stated it doesn’t exist. He will try to sabotage Texas since the DEMS are Muslim friendly. He also has ties to DEMS and all the wrong people.
Muslims have their six lies that are tenets of Islam, It is perfectly reasonably not to trust Muslims based on the fact that lying is categorized for Muslim’s convenience. His game plan is this:
• Taqiyya (Shia) or Muda’rat (Sunni): tactical deceit for the purposes of spreading Islam.
• Kitman: deceit by omission.
• Tawriya: deceit by ambiguity.
• Taysir: deceit through facilitation
(not having to observe all the tenets of Sharia).
• Darura: deceit through necessity (to engage in something “Haram” or forbidden).
• Muruna: the temporary suspension of Sharia in order that Muslim immigrants appear “moderate”.

We know what to do……………Muslims are easily defeated when the time is right.
Till then, educate people. Ask open ended questions and start talking about it.

Not to mention that Texas has the LARGEST Muslim population in the U.S. with over 400,000. That’s 4x the size of Michigan’s Muslim population.
Plus, Cruz barely survived re-election, and Trump only won Texas by 9 points during the election. Those three signs indicate that Texas is ripe for a future leftist takeover. It won’t happen the next election cycle, but if something isn’t done, Texas will turn blue and take the rest of the country down with it.

I have the solution to that question. Start following Ann Corcoran’s site: Refugee Resettlement Watch. She has been tracking this for 11 years. She can tell you where they are and who is putting them there.
Largely it is the Catholic and Lutheran churches and some government office…..all with our tax dollars….

That Muhammadist comes off like a slave-owner descending upon his slaves to collect his taxes & impose his Muhammadist imperialism. That would be called Jizya-extortion.
He doesn’t know what SHARIA is? Such a lie should be prosecutable. We have a functioning judicial system. He should hand himself in & make America great again by making an other country miserable.
How about freeing African slaves from Saudi Arabia to Mauritania (& recently in Texas where the son of a former president of Guinea & his wife have been imprisoned for enslaving a woman for years), freeing the detained atheists & banning the Muhammadist practice of clitodirectomy.
Not being allowed into governance is the best thing that can happen to him, personally.

Many Muslims commit or support loathsome deeds and refer to their religion to justify them. From my reading of the Quran and the life of Muhammad, I find their interpretation quite reasonable. But one can be a Muslim and interpret things differently. Individuals need to be judged on their own merits, not on the basis of religious affiliation. There certainly are decent Muslims in the world. I personally doubt that their religion is much of a factor in making them good human beings, but then as an unbeliever I don’t think any human goodness is dependent on religion. Even suggesting that this man should be judged negatively because he is a Muslim is bigotry pure and simple, precisely what we should avoid.

I had a very close friend, who was in Naval Intelligence in the 60s stationed in Turkey. He told me to never trust a mooslime. Their religion came first always and they would do what ever they were told to do in the name of their god. You could be friends with them one day and the next, they would turn on you. You are entitled to your belief, but lets see how you feel when the truth about this religion strikes a little closer to home.

I have a friend, a Jew born in Egypt, who experienced all sorts of unpleasantness there before coming to the United States. He has told me that he has known and knows decent Muslims, that one has to judge individuals on their own merits. Some, of course, are reluctant to display what we would consider decency in Egypt or any other Muslim society, but Muslims in the United States don’t suffer quite such inhibitions. I don’t want to say that all Muslims in the United States are ready to absorb the American way of life, but some are.

And those you speak of are not the devout. How about all the honor killings? Those where done by so called moderates. As for me I prefer to be cautious and alive than pc naïve and attacked or murdered. Just look at Boston and recently Miami.

notice how state after state is overtaken by these scumbag murderers. allowing and enabling a vicious medieval savage cult of crackpots is suicidal. we are killing the greatest constitutional republic in the history of the world along with ensuring the death of our freedoms.

the constitution first, not the kuran.. That is what religious freedom means. freedom from religion. islam promotes theocratic government, the constitution forbids that. that is why this country was founded, to escape religious tyranny. you cannot serve two opposing beliefs, so he and all mooslimes should not be eligible for election. they lie when they take their oath to protect and defend the constitution.

Obummer stuffed more radical Muslim “refugees” (invaders) in Texas than any other state. During Rick Perry’s last years as governor there he was allowing Sharia divorces in Dallas…this has been going on for quite some time….

After reading the title, I was about to post congratulating Texas to becoming more environmentally friendly. But then I read the article, and it’s nothing but Muslim talk. Hoooo boy…

The plank of the Texas Republican Party concerning Immigration stated simply, “No Amnesty. No Way.” LIke any organ, with more and more leftist and libertarian infiltration, no doubt the hardline had to be softened and the Tent of Repub. needed to be made bigger. This is another case of commie incrementalism and the continued Leftist shift of #CulturalMarxism. Same for homosexual ‘marriage.”
