Muslim Reporter Describes Being Ridiculed At The Texas GOP Convention Republican chairman: 'Would the state party ever condone that? Absolutely not.' By Jason Sickles
The GOP gathering first attracted national attention by fast-tracking a new platform that includes endorsing “reparative therapy” for gays. Some of the more moderate Republicans in attendance had hoped to address the matter, but the anti-gay topic was never allowed to come up for debate.
Now, a reporter who was covering the convention says she was targeted and taunted because of her Muslim headdress.
Heba Said, a senior at the University of Texas at Arlington, is the opinion editor of the school paper, The Shorthorn. The 22-year-old said she applied for media credentials and attended the convention hoping to share with her readers what it was like to sit in on panel discussions with delegates.
Instead, Said writes, “I discovered a cult-like hatred that is simply disgusting.” From her report:
As I walked through the halls, people stopped in their tracks and frowned and shook their heads at me. Panelists threw the word “Islamist” around as if it were perfectly OK, and one man even asked if I felt alone at a meeting. I was referred to as “you people” and “y’all Muslims” more times than I can count. The worst part was the way delegates looked at me, as if I were something to fear when I approached them.
“I did not observe any of this," said Steve Munisteri, Texas GOP chairman. “I never heard a single anti-Muslim statement, and I never saw any anti-Muslim activity.”
Munisteri said to Yahoo News in an interview that this year's meeting drew 10,000 participants, and that everyone was expected to "treat their fellow delegates and guests with respect and civility.”

Was just thinking same thing.. where was the phone-cam?... Reminds me of the guy a few years back who said he was spit on... (cameras and mics everywhere.. but no proof).
I have been to a Muslim wedding. That is not at all what they look like.
She made it all up —our people are classy to a fault, even when begged to dole out abuse onto others.
The Muslim appetite to Feel Wronged is bottomless, and their effort to fit with others in is flamboyantly ZERO.
They’re PERFECT hypocrites about openness.
She has some real sick fantasies.
Exactly...and they hide behind our First Amendment to further their agenda.
When in America, do as the Americans do.
The left-hand photo is of a Heba Said from Cairo who is married to Mohamed Esam. Something tells me the one from Cairo is less, er, devout. Probably supports General Sisi.
Quit wearing table linens to your “work” and maybe you won’t feel so insecure. Stupid, dishonest woman.
Maybe they should have thrown stones at her to make her feel more at home.
ditto that
Should have been kicked out on ear
Well, I’m guessing she got what she wanted - attention.
There are over 10K comments at the original thread and I could only see about 15 or 20.
She is blowing up the yahoo servers, and most are calling BS on her story (well, from the few I could see).
She’ll be proved a liar by end of business on Wed. that is my prediction.
What a hussy! Makeup and everything, never mind the rag-head getup. Bitch. Now I know why the guys in the middle east beat them and etc.
Yeah, well, I just got back from a trip to Walmart in Appomattox (Virginia). It’s a small rural community, and it’s swarming with Muslims now. Nearby, in Red House, there’s an Islamic paramilitary compound; they’re stockpiling weapons. My checkout girl at Walmart was a Muslim-—had a ring through her nose, and was chilly and unfriendly. Come to think of it, I’ve never come across a friendly disciple of Mohammed.
So forgive me if my give-a-damn meter doesn’t budge. If the one in the article doesn’t want to be looked at as a freak, let her take her berobed and bewrapped butt to the Middle East, where she’ll fit right in.
Gee, I guess yahoo did not like the comments.....very telling.
good one...
like i said, may or may not be her, but that is the name on the account... before it joined the religion of peace maybe
thx, that's why i said maybe yes maybe no
Most likely a liberal plant sent in as an hatred instigator. Wouldn’t be the first time.
That’s just awful! I’ll have to vote the straight Dem ticket after hearing this. /S
It’s a diluted racism/bigotry card. Meanwhile, Iraq is in flames and Americans in Baghdad are in danger. These maggots never stop nibbling.
I don’t believe a word of this. Not one word.
