Earlier this year, I attended an event with former House speaker Newt Gingrich, despite knowing of his stereotypical attitude towards Muslims. I realized then the power of one voice to change people's prejudices – and how rarely people like me use ours: I was the first Muslimah to whom he had ever spoken.
Yes, I am Muslim, and I am a Republican – and that's why I was at the Heritage Foundation panel on Benghazi last month, where I asked the now-infamous question about how conservatives deal with the vast majority of people of my faith who are peaceful. Americans don't expect minorities – especially Muslims – to be Republicans, and it happens often in conservative circles that I am the only Muslim woman in the audience.
I became Republican because I felt that my Islamic values – pro-life, pro-traditional family, pro-business, pro-trade – aligned best with the Republican party platform. I identified as a Democrat for several years when I was younger, but found it hard to defend liberal values as they were so often in conflict with my deeply-held beliefs.
Though I have been a Republican for a long time – and despite having had a tough time with my fellow Republicans in Oregon, where I lived until 2012 – I joined the Washington DC Republican Party earlier this year. They have all been kind and welcoming to me at their meetings, events and fundraisers, and I have made good friends in the GOP.
So the personal attacks by conservatives after my question at the Heritage event went viral came as somewhat of a surprise – though the support from the Republicans who reached out to me did not. As one of the few lobbyists among the 10,000 on Capitol Hill who is a practicing Muslim, I regularly

....”there is a lot of common ground between moderate Islamic values and American social conservatism. We should be glad for that because it helps our side, even if just a little”....
Well you can believe your post if you want to..but you’ve been deceived more than you realize. Nobody thought Obama would be where he is today nor doing what he’s doing.....now imagine when the Muslim population increases within our Government. ....do you think your Muslim friends will oppose the Islamification of this nation?...can you honestly say they won’t support that and the demand for Shariah law in our country?
And then there’s this little gem of an exchange between a Jew hating Muslim and David Horowitz at UCSD campus on 5/10/2010.
Saba Ahmed reminds me of her.

Fortunately, we have outspoken people like Brigitte Gabriel who easily expose your own dangerous foolishness, and your lies.
For anyone who is considering buying the dangerous nonsense in the post I’m responding to, go up thread for a link to the video.
Wow; never saw that before. DH really exposed her hatred and shut her down.
As Brigitte Gabriel stated: Moderate Muslims are irrelevant.
There is no need to "deal with" peaceful people. You came off as sticking up for radicals. Why not do something usual and protest the radicals?
Wouldn't surprise me if this lady was a rat plant, sent to rabble rouse.

Ask your Muslim doctors what they think of people who mock Mohammed.
If they think such people should be killed, then I don't want them in the Republican party.
If they are fine with people mocking Mohammed, then they are either lying, or not really Muslim.
.....”I know a lot of Muslim doctors who are wonderful people; they are not Islamists”......
What exactly does your statement mean? Are you saying they’ve denounced the Koran and Islam?
I enjoyed that very much...she was right on...especially when Liberals chime about ONLY 15 to 25% of the Muslim population being radical....that’s ‘millions’ ready and willing to kill Americans. It took just 19 to hit the Pentagon and World Trade Center.

One point not mentioned is that Saba was the president of her Muslim Students Association (MSA) while attending college. She is not the niave poor little Muslima she says she claims. Her ideals are the same as the Muslim Brotherhood for destroying America.
RATS are clueless
“Ask your Muslim doctors what they think of people who mock Mohammed.”
“Can you trust your Muslim doctor?”
Well, can you, Mrs. Goldstein?
Well.....why don’t we say that the only good Muslim is a bad Muslim.
A bad Muslim thinks that:
Women and men are equal
People are entitled to their own opinions
People should worship according to their beliefs
One’s eating & drinking habits are one’s own business
No one is inferior for not being Muslim
One can dress however one likes according to the common standard
Islamic terrorism is a scourge upon the planet
Live and let live is a good motto for life
A bad Muslim who thinks that way is in far greater danger from his “brethren” than from “infidels”.
In fact, he might as well leave Islam altogether. The God of our fathers beckons, with loving hands outstretched.
....”RATS are clueless”....
Oh they know...they just have tunnel vision..their agendas...their way...no matter the affect on American people. No skin off their nose.
