Some in the party say Shafi, a surgeon and city council member in a Fort Worth suburb, may be more loyal to Islamic law or not supportive enough of the party\u2019s pro-Israel platform.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Shafi counters that he supports American laws and the court system, and says he has no affiliation to \u201cany terrorist organization,\u201d as some have alleged. Shafi, who became a U.S. citizen in 2009 and shortly after joined the Republican Party, says he supports the Second Amendment and has never promoted Sharia, or Islamic, law.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Members of the Republican Party’s burgeoning “Dumbass Bigot Caucus” would respond by claiming “every Muslim in the universe obeys every “Hadith” in the Koran to the letter, including the ones about deceiving infidels”, implying that Muslims, regardless of sector or even observance (25% of ethnic\/cultural Muslims are non-observant) adhere to their holy texts absolutely, without question and all in the same way, in a way that no other faith does (or perhaps you’ve noticed how not a single Catholic gets divorced or get an abortion, no evangelicals ever root for Notre Dame, and no Jews ever, ever eat pork).<\/p>\n
Radical Islam \u2013 Wahhabism and radical Shia \u2013 and attendant Muslim laws are a threat to western civilization \u2013 or at least to weak, fundamentally corrupt and decaying ones, like in Europe. The United States is still, despite the best efforts of progressives, a vibrant, strong, resilient nation, the kind of place people want to come to<\/em>. We cannot, and will never be, defeated by an external threat – List of all by one that wants to drag humanity back to the seventh century A.D.<\/p>\nProgressivism, on the other hand, is a clear, present, immediate threat to this nation and everything that made it strong, vital and resilient. And this kind of bigotry drives pro-life, pro free market, pro second amendment, pro constitutional, people who happen to be Muslim straight into the arms of the progressives.<\/p>\n
It is \u2013 I’ll be diplomatic \u2013 cripplingly shortsighted, and the kind of thing that needs to be expunged from the party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
