GOP leader in Texas says he is getting ousted for being a Muslim

A GOP politician in the US state of Texas says there is a movement to oust him because he is a Muslim.

The Republican Party vice-chairman of Texas’s third largest county said his colleagues were trying to oust him for being a Muslim, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.

Shahid Shafi, a trauma surgeon in Fort Worth, has been accused of promoting Sharia law and being affiliated with terrorist groups by precinct Chairwoman Dorrie O’Brien.

She is, therefore, petitioning to have the Tarrant County Republican Party “reconsider” his appointment.

O’Brien has previously said that Shafi is a “fake Republican” who could have infiltrated the organization at the request of the Muslim Brotherhood.
