don't know, but i think he's stifling laughter of how that great lady speaking is smacking that muslime up side the head with truth and logic... i'd have a hard time not laughing myself

Earlier this year, I attended an event with former House speaker Newt Gingrich, despite knowing of his stereotypical attitude towards Muslims. I realized then the power of one voice to change people's prejudices – and how rarely people like me use ours: I was the first Muslimah to whom he had ever spoken.
Yes, I am Muslim, and I am a Republican – and that's why I was at the Heritage Foundation panel on Benghazi last month, where I asked the now-infamous question about how conservatives deal with the vast majority of people of my faith who are peaceful. Americans don't expect minorities – especially Muslims – to be Republicans, and it happens often in conservative circles that I am the only Muslim woman in the audience.
I became Republican because I felt that my Islamic values – pro-life, pro-traditional family, pro-business, pro-trade – aligned best with the Republican party platform. I identified as a Democrat for several years when I was younger, but found it hard to defend liberal values as they were so often in conflict with my deeply-held beliefs.
Though I have been a Republican for a long time – and despite having had a tough time with my fellow Republicans in Oregon, where I lived until 2012 – I joined the Washington DC Republican Party earlier this year. They have all been kind and welcoming to me at their meetings, events and fundraisers, and I have made good friends in the GOP.
So the personal attacks by conservatives after my question at the Heritage event went viral came as somewhat of a surprise – though the support from the Republicans who reached out to me did not. As one of the few lobbyists among the 10,000 on Capitol Hill who is a practicing Muslim, I regularly

His wife is Muslim, but I did not think he was as well.
Brigitte Gabriel is an amazing person. In many ways she reminds me of Churchill in the 1930's, a brave and lonely voice in the wilderness.
I hope that no harm comes to her.

Let’s play a game:
How many different way can Mo-Ham-Head be spelled?
Bull-she-ite. At the end of the day, if she must choose between the US or her Muslim faith, I KNOW what she’ll choose. She’s a LIAR.
Go away or we will taunt you again!
And take Newt with you.
100%
The difference between islamists and muslims?
islamists wear the bomb vest; muslims use a remote control.
No, I don’t cap either of those filthy, murderous words.
Peaceful Muslims are apostate Muslims.
Saw the title and thought it might be Norquist writing.
She’s a primary writer for CAIR and past president of the Muslim Student Association - both organizations have links to the Muslim Brotherhood and/or HAMAS.
Do you think FDR was right to put Japanese in interment camps during World War II?
OK i'll start, Child Rapist... well close enough anyway
That was a real pleasure to watch. Brigitte Gabriel doesn’t suffer fools/liars/scum, of any kind, lightly.
He’s NOT a muslim if not practicing ISLAM. He’s Middle Eastern: Iraqi, Iranian, Libyan, etc..
There is no such thing as a republican moslem.
For that matter, there is not such thing as a liberal democrat moslem.
Can't you just see a lib demorat, democrat, in favor of homos, lesbos, child molesters (well, the child molesters, maybe...ahhh, even the damn homos, I guess) being accepted into the moslem fold?
You can only be one OR the other.
“Do you think FDR was right to put Japanese in interment camps during World War II?”
That’s actually a good question. I’ve never given it any thought or consideration. The answer would depend on whether those Japanese had Americanized. You see, my grandparents came here from Germany. They refused to even speak German in the home to each other. When they argued they looked up words in the dictionary. The Muslims I know even if they’ve been here more than half their lives or were born here, have not Americanized. They are still trained and are living in a ninth century culture of marrying 13 year old girls. They still talk about killing those who are not Muslims. They don’t do anything about it because, so far, they’re in the minority.
The area bombing campaign in World War two had two drivers. One was technology. They couldn’t hit precision targets. The other was to destroy the base that supported Nazism. That base was the peaceful non-Nazi populace.
I’m not sure you can compare the WW2 Japanese Americans to the Muslims. Also, I strongly suspect that the move was partially motivated by the organized theft of their farms, which resulted from their internment. There were probably other criminal reasons behind it as well. (Yes, the government does criminal things all the time. For example, when they use the law to seize property even though the law was not intended for most of the cases they use it for.)
In addition, I’m not privy to the data that was used in that case.
