Muslim Reporter Describes Being Ridiculed At The Texas GOP Convention Republican chairman: 'Would the state party ever condone that? Absolutely not.' By Jason Sickles
The GOP gathering first attracted national attention by fast-tracking a new platform that includes endorsing reparative therapy for gays. Some of the more moderate Republicans in attendance had hoped to address the matter, but the anti-gay topic was never allowed to come up for debate.
Now, a reporter who was covering the convention says she was targeted and taunted because of her Muslim headdress.
Heba Said, a senior at the University of Texas at Arlington, is the opinion editor of the school paper, The Shorthorn. The 22-year-old said she applied for media credentials and attended the convention hoping to share with her readers what it was like to sit in on panel discussions with delegates.
Instead, Said writes, I discovered a cult-like hatred that is simply disgusting. From her report:
As I walked through the halls, people stopped in their tracks and frowned and shook their heads at me. Panelists threw the word Islamist around as if it were perfectly OK, and one man even asked if I felt alone at a meeting. I was referred to as you people and yall Muslims more times than I can count. The worst part was the way delegates looked at me, as if I were something to fear when I approached them.
I did not observe any of this," said Steve Munisteri, Texas GOP chairman. I never heard a single anti-Muslim statement, and I never saw any anti-Muslim activity.
Munisteri said to Yahoo News in an interview that this year's meeting drew 10,000 participants, and that everyone was expected to "treat their fellow delegates and guests with respect and civility.

I see nothing youve written about how women are treated in your Islamic countries. Beheadings, stonings, acid in the face, being murdered for talking to a male outside your family...Start there first before you get all bent out of shape about being stared at here.
My question is how does she respond to Western Women either being advised or ‘forced’ to put on local Mufti when traveling in ‘her’ country or the fact that Rabbis and Priests are unable to wear their insignia or in some cases ‘tend to their flock’
AND THEY ARE THERE TRYING TO PROTECT THE LOCALS BACKSIDES.
However I do somewhat agree that Western women should wear the local style garb, if for nothing else than to somewhat draw attention away from them.
OF COURSE, they have the same option as YOU do.
If you do not want to be ‘ridiculed’ for your dress, don’t try to stand out from the crowd.
She’s a liar, it’s pretty clear. She’s very pretty, maybe some folks were struck by her beauty. But other that than she’s full of it.
What a complete loser. Why doesn’t she go to iraq to interview those moozlums shooting surrendered prisoners, randomly shooting people in their cars on the highway or beheading people in their houses? moozlums should be ridiculed here and exiled. They only await their opportunity to “moozlum” us and our families.
Bingo!
If its not on video its a lie. Already can tell this is lady has an agenda since she described Islamist...as defined by terrorist sympathizer CAIR.
Geez, lady.
When you dress like you are a freak — people will look at you like you are a freak.
Take the stupid towel off your noggin — and choose to be an American.
Dirka dirka mohammed jihad!
moozlums should be ridiculed here and exiled. They only await their opportunity to moozlum us and our families.

If you were to start that ‘movement’ the people in question would be granted ‘amnesty’ by agreeing with us and our interpretation of their fellow countrymen.
YET they refuse to ‘damn’ them for their actions.
Some ‘weird’ people - in general - I have yet to hear ANY so called ‘Muslim’ leaders mutter any sort of ‘apology’ or ‘damnation’ for 9/11.....OTHER than insist a ‘mosque’ be built on the site of the former WTC because ‘muslims’ also died there ...
Only one we are definitely positive about are the ‘doers’....
If she’s offended, maybe she might want to go home. It sounds to me like this whinyass crybaby was a sob story just looking for a place to happen.
and??? If this young lady expects jihadists to rush out of the shadows and stone people for using the words Islam and Muslim then she's in the wrong country. It's too bad she didn't expound on WHY she feels it wasn't 'perfectly ok.' Is it because she feels 'special'? Perhaps someone should ask this child to write an editorial about the practice of stoning of young women, her age and younger, by Islamic fruitcakes, and how the burka has become a symbol to the free world of the psychotic violence and repression Islam promotes towards women and children. That should keep the fibbing little rabblerouser busy for a while, bless her little heart.
Exactly. She went to a REPUBLICAN convention so she could write a sob story about her being a Muzzie. Sheesh! What a pinhead.
I would prefer we have absolutely no muslims in this country. Why we have to put up with their BS while non-muslims are killed, raped, beaten etc in their 7th century hell holes is beyond me. They will get no sympathy or any help from me.
Very well said! Three cheers to that!
I care not. Islam is a totalitarian political system, not a religion. If it is a religion, it is of the devil and deserves to be opposed by descent people.
taqqiya/taqiyeh/taqiya/taqiyah/tuqyah, all alternate spellings of what you are describing.. and what Obummer has been using since he came into the spotlight..
...so she was only 9 years old on September 11, 2001...maybe she was watching ‘Spongebob’ on Nickelodeon and missed that ‘other thing’.
Agreed...it would be difficult to write a story about how she went and nobody paid attention to her.
But she can’t really go home now, can she? Even she is smart enough to know that the entire ME is descending into chaos, she more than likely won’t get an education or drive a car. Much easier to stay here and whine.
