TX county GOP to vote to oust leader because Muslim

[Trumptonium1]

Removing a party leader just because he is Muslim is an abhorrent thing to do, and I condemn this.

But I'd like to know what 'political leanings' are being questioned before I make a judgement

They think he's gonna Islamize America. Or at least his county.

[Western Vale Confederacy]

They are moderate Muslims that have almost entirely integrated themselves into Western customs and values, not to mention that they live alongside Catholic and Orthodox people without having this jizya boner of yours.

This doesn't tell me anything on what they differ on.

Literally arguing with a brick wall, OMFG...

In which case it would be a legitimate removal, if those are his views.

His political leanings are clearly Republican since that's the party he joined, the person leading the charge against him is a nasty bigoted woman who sees radical Islam behind every curtain.

I mean I low-key agree with the Republicans but for different reasons. Then again idk for sure what a Texas city council member does, so can someone tell me please? Thx.

Has he expressed openly Islamist stances, though?

Tbf the only thing she said that was bigoted was saying that he might support Muslim terrorists.

He doesn't seem to be. Just Kubuma wants him to be.

She has a history of this..

Christians and Muslims will sing, dine and laugh side by side as neighbors Sunday.

But one political activist sees nothing fun about the “Building Bridges With Fellow Texans” event at NorthWood Church.

The idea of Christians and Muslims making friends or having fun together is “heresy” — “repulsive and impossible,” according to a poison-pen e-mail from Dorrie O’Brien of Grand Prairie, who fears Islamic extremism lurking beneath that platter of hummus.

Pastor Bob Roberts, founder and 26-year leader of the Southern Baptist-affiliated church, said he’s almost at a loss for words.

Yeah I saw that in the article, I was just talking about the terrorist thing specifically. But yeah, she has some loony thoughts on us.

Which is not the case and he doesn't believe that. The only reason she thinks that is because he is Muslim. Her reasoning is that since he is a muslim, he must support sharia law amd other nonsense.

Muslims and christians getting along is impossible, after she watches muslims and Christians getting along. Brilliant logic with this one.

[Wallenburg]

GOP: Identity politics is bad!
Also GOP: Literally purging leadership of non-Christians.

It hasn't been proven that he doesn't support Shari'ah, but I hope he does.

Hypocrisy is a helluva drug.

Hate the ideology, not its adherents.

...I'm not sure why I'm disappointed. It's just fucking sad.

City council section starts on the 2nd page: link
It seems like there's only an attempt to oust him from the position within the party, though, so it's not clear city residents in general have much of a problem (if any) with him.

[Thermodolia]

If said Muslim rejects Sharia law, then is it really necessary to remove him or her?

Nope

It’s 90% likely that he doesn’t support religious law of any kind. Since ya know most western Muslims are pretty fucking Secular

[Darussalam]

This is feminist infiltration of GOP, not an Islamist one.

[Western Vale Confederacy]

If said Muslim rejects Sharia law, then is it really necessary to remove him or her?

Nope

Exactly, so it is utterly pointless to remove him since he is seen as upholding secular above religious law.

If anything, most Muslims are on average more conservative than their non-Muslim peers (yes, even in the Western world), so it is rather foolish for the Reps to antagonize potential conservative allies.

Just to balance, media on the right is covering this story.

Representative Tulsi Gabbard, a Democrat from Hawaii, published an op-ed in The Hill yesterday, implicitly criticizing two of her fellow Democratic congresswomen for subjecting a judicial nominee to a religious test as a result of his Catholic faith and his long-time membership in the Knights of Columbus.

Though she doesn’t mention them by name, Gabbard was referring to Democratic senators Kamala Harris (Calif.) and Mazie Hirono (Hawaii), both of whom have targeted federal judicial nominee Brian Buescher for his Catholicism, and the latter of whom has demanded that he drop his membership in the Knights and recuse himself from any case on which the organization has taken a position.

Gabbard does explicitly cite the controversial comments of Senator Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.), who in the fall of 2017 questioned circuit-court nominee Amy Coney Barrett about her Catholic faith during her confirmation hearing, saying, “The dogma lives loudly within you, and that’s of concern.” Feinstein’s remark received significant backlash from the right, and from Catholics in particular, who rightly noted the senator’s obvious implication that practicing Catholics are not suited to serve on U.S. courts as a result of their faith.

Well hey it's good to the US getting back to its traditional roots (of papal paranoia).
