Shahid Shafi and party leaders rejected the effort as prejudice

Republican officials in Texas on Thursday night voted down an effort to oust a local party leader because he is Muslim.

GOP precinct chairs in Tarrant County, which includes Fort Worth, rejected a proposal, 139-49, to remove Shahid Shafi as vice chairman of the party there.
==========================================
Prejudice? In the Lone Star State? I'm shocked & appalled at the thought.
 
Good, it was a dumb move.
 
Good, at least some of them have common sense...there are no requirements to be of a certain religion to be in politics.
 
Good, kind of a stupid move, kind of like most California lawmakers.

The opponents said that he is an advocate of Sharia Law. I would want to vote that out also.

But is it true? That's the question. Most people who don't know, think all Muslims are for sharia law. They're not.
