Kick the Muslims Out?
Does the Republican Party have room for a Muslim in it's local leadership?
The head of the Tarrent Republican Party picked a local Muslim man for a top slot with the party. He's a two-time elected Southlake city council member and a former Surgeon at UT Southwestern. Impressive. But, not enough for many Republicans in Tarrant. They want the Muslim out.
So, where should US conservatives stand?
First, I need to tell you the truth: What I say on my radio show ALL THE TIME: Islam is NOT compatible with the United States, nor is Allah the same God that I worship.
But, to me, the important questions are: How should you treat your Muslim neighbor? Should you be friends with them? Would you allow seeking Muslim to come to your church? How would you treat a Muslim co-worker? What about the constitutional prohibition of a "religous test"? Should we try to stop Muslims from voting Republican? What abuot Mormons, Jews and Jehova's Witnesses?
You're not going to hear me say cliche's, like being a "big tent" party..
But what I will say is that my authentic Christian beliefs guide me before everything, and they say to let this one go.
