Texas Muslim Capitol Day is a good thing and has been going on since 2003. Its function is to have Muslims in the community meet lawmakers and learn about the political process. That's a surprisingly progressive thing to do in Texas, but as usual it turned ugly when conservative Christian protesters showed up and yelled Islamophobic rants at those participating in the event.
Texas Muslim Capitol Day, which began in 2003, is organized by the Texas chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations and brings members of Muslim communities in Houston, Dallas and other areas of the state to the Capitol to learn about the political process and meet state lawmakers.
Even before participants in Thursday's event — about 100 Muslims, mostly children — could get to lawmakers' offices, they encountered opposition from a group of about 25 protesters outside the Capitol holding signs. One said, "Radical Islam is the New Nazi." Another said, "Go Home & Take Obama With You."
The Muslim group held a press conference on the South steps of the Capitol, where one of the protesters yanked the microphone from an event organizer, shouting, “Islam will never dominate the United States and by the grace of God, it will never dominate Texas.”
As the group of Muslims continued the event by singing "The Star-Spangled Banner," the interruptions persisted, with the protesters yelling, “Islam is a lie!” and “No Sharia here!”
It's no surprise that this is the first year these religious hate mongers showed up at this event since some many lies have been told by Fox News, Republican politicians and activists about all the phony Muslim no-go zones in Europe and America that are taking over the world.
Conservative politics today is more about revving up fear and hatred throughout the world instead of offering solutions.

It appears he just paid his Dhimmi in kind.
Wasn’t CAIR listed as a terrorist group by UAE?
I am tired of the islamophobic term. I know it is possible to intensely dislike and not necessarily fear these misogynistic reprobates.
This ‘conservatism is all about fear’... like women won’t be able to vote if Republicans win the White House? Old people will be pushed over the cliff... blacks will be put back in chains, as Joe Biden said...
Lefties love to accuse conservatives of using fear when it’s the only thing libs have to fool the public.
It’s not Islamophobia it’s Islamorevulsion. And well earned!
Beheadophobic
God Bless Texas!!!!!!!!!!!!
Council on American-Islamic Relations = Moslem Brotherhood Front = Terrorists!
“is a good thing”
No bias from the author here, eh?
Doesn’t Texas have Sharia courts?
Whoops....I forgot that one...the most important one!
Exactly - I think that "islamoIseeyouclearly would be more appropriate terminology...
"Stop beheading innocent people!"
"Stop blowing up women and children!"
Oh, the outrage.... / sarcasm Off
Goonerphobia
Really, you went and asked them if they were Christians and conservative at that???? Or were they just people worried about Americas future allowing a murderous religion who hates freedom into this country in numbers that become dangerous for our children's lives and their freedoms.
Maybe it was feminist fighting against the slavery islam imposes on women....you know, something that is in total conflict with our constitution and our freedoms???????
Media propaganda against Christians is an ugly thing. Try reporting instead of easy false cliches.
