‘I knew they were here,’ West Texas sheriff says of ISIS

Midland County Sheriff Gary Painter became somewhat of a sensation last year after appearing on national television outlets such as Fox News and CNN warning of an ISIS presence in Texas. It would be naïve to assume that they are not here, Painter told a CNN news anchor in an interview.

I knew it was happening; I knew they were here," Painter said Friday. "Now, we've sent two to hell, and we're waiting on the others.

Yep, Muslim immigrants are coming here in Texas in growing numbers. Many Texans are unaware they’re here until they see them shopping at Walmart*, building a mosque or school, or opening a business in their community. We know some of them will support ISIS.

Texans are naturally suspicious when Muslims insist they must practice their old laws and customs and do not attempt to integrate into our state. They want to live here apart from the laws, traditions, and customs of mainstream Texans and other Americans. They expect us to treat them differently. They want to be an Islamic nation within our nation. That ain’t going to work in Texas. We ain’t buying their BS. We still believe we are one nation, under GOD, and the name ain’t Allah.

I cannot predict what the future holds. But if they or any other immigrant’s allegiance is to another nation, they will curse the day they came to Texas. There are enough patriotic conservative Texans still around to rain on their party. If their goal is to practice Islam, they need to take it to another country while they can.

They would also be wise to remember history. Have they forgotten how the Spanish (Christians and Jews)overturned the Islamist’s conquest of Spain and restored their nation to GOD. Do they remember what terrible things happened during the Spanish Inquisition. How much so, would a bunch of pi$$ed off Texans be under similar circumstances. I don’t know, but I wouldn’t want to find out.

No, Texans aren’t over-reacting. We are just watching, waiting, and hoping ISIS and Washington will not decide to Mess with Texas.

I dont think Isis is stupid enough to mess with Texas frankly. Not “en masse”

one or two...here and there but they will not be doing so OPENLY!

that Great Fearful Event on the Internet,,,where we were going to “Lose Control” due to some two bit hacker,,,didnt work out real well for them did it...

I think Pam Geller chose Garland Texas as the site for that Draw THe Pervert Mohammed event very carefully.. if ya know what I mean.

Texas is not over-reacting. We know ISIS ain’t no joke and they want to kill us. Some of the liberal New Yawker crowd and folks in other states need to get their heads screwed on right and realize this isn’t like the movies. Too many have forgotten 911 I guess. But we take it seriously after the Garland incident.

We know ISIS is probably going to mess with us. You don’t have to be a betting man to know the odds are they will attempt something, somewhere, for some perceived blasphemous reason again. Maybe it will involve some lone wolf converts who have been brainwashed into their religious beliefs. Maybe it will be ‘en masse’. Nobody knows and nobody should under-estimate them.

But if they pull-off a Breslan-like massacre, then all hell will break loose. I can’t imagine how the political winds and life for Texas Muslims might change if that happens.

I agree Pam Geller gave it due consideration when she chose Texas, and especially Garland, and the right of free speech for something as controversial as the Draw. Irregardless, ISIS will always find a reason to cause mayhem and chaos in defense of Islam. They consider our right of free speech to be an act of blasphemy to their prophet and Islam when we disagree with their religious beliefs. They want to force us to accept their religious beliefs through violent acts. Texas is not buying any of that ROP crap Islam is selling. ISIS is proving us right.

In any event, Texas has no choice but to prepare, wait, and hope ISIS will not mess with us again. GOD Bless Texas and the USA!
