FORT WORTH, Texas (RNS) — Lisa Grimaldi Abdulkareem describes herself as a conservative Republican who believes in freedom and prosperity.
“Less bureaucracy, lower taxes and stronger national security — it is simple for me,” said Abdulkareem, the Tarrant County GOP’s vice chair for precinct recruitment and volunteers.
However, some Republican activists in the Lone Star State’s most conservative urban county want Abdulkareem removed from the party’s leadership.
The reason: She’s married to a Muslim.
Abdulkareem, a nondenominational Christian, has been caught up in a political civil war that has raged in the Tarrant County GOP for months, pitting Republicans who see the need for diversity in the party against those who see any follower of Islam as a soldier in a “stealth jihad.”
The skirmish first erupted in July, when the county’s Republican chairman, Darl Easton, named Dr. Shahid Shafi, a two-term city councilman in the Dallas-Fort Worth suburb of Southlake, as one of the party’s two regional vice chairs. Shafi is also a trauma surgeon who is Muslim.
Abdulkareem drew fire for supporting Shafi’s appointment. “I spoke up publicly for Dr. Shafi and was immediately targeted because of my husband’s religious affiliation,” said Abdulkareem. Her husband, Hadi, is a naturalized U.S. citizen who served as a translator for U.S. Marines in his native Iraq from 2006 to 2009.

Can't say as I see any problem with that thinking.
When she got in, she packed in two more, including a Pakistani doctor who only came to America in 2011.
Bunch of camel jockeys running the Tarrant county Repub party because one woman is sleeping with the enemy.
I’m good with her as long as she denounces sharia law
““They also say I am a Democrat,” said Abdulkareem, “although I have never voted as a Democrat or for one.”
So she was a registered Democrat, and knows nobody can prove how she voted.
Whatever happened to “dot be yoked unequally together?”
Whatever happened to “do not be yoked unequally together?”
I wouldn’t believe her.
Anyone who belongs to a death cult ought to be uncomfortable enough in the US to want to leave.
> I’m good with her as long as she denounces sharia law
It allows lying to you, FYI, for purposes of engineering your destruction.
Taqiyya, FRiend.
If they won’t eat a bacon sammich, that tells us everything.
She most likely wouldn’t do it
I’ve yet to hear any of them denounce sharia
And very few of them ever denounce sharia. And where are the “peaceful” moo-slimes protesting the “radicals?”
She is already lying about being a Christian, therefore everything else she says MUST be considered a lie.
This democrat needs to be sent away.
