Texas used to be the hotbed of Christian conservatism, once considered largely impermeable by the leftist tendencies not found anywhere other than in the university atmosphere around Austin. 

But that is beginning to change as Muslims are running for, and winning, elections at the city, county, and federal level. Here are just a few:

• Letitia Plummer won the Harris County judge Democrat primary.

• Salman Bhojani won the Democrat primary for TX House District 92.

• Suleman Lalani won the Democrat primary for TX House District 76.

• Fahad Ahmed won the Irving City Council District 6 seat.

• Abdul Khabeer won the Irving City Council District 3 seat.

If Plummer wins the general election race, and recent polls indicate she likely will, Texas’ largest county and city will be effectively ruled by a Muslim.

And the Irving city wins are just as remarkable because they serve as the pipeline for politicians to climb to higher offices at the county, state, and eventually federal level.

Like most other Muslim politicians, Plummer, a Yemeni and Iranian American, has so far refused to discuss Sharia — accusing any opponent who raises the subject of trying to start a “culture war.” To some extent, she is correct.

A massive culture war is brewing, not just in what used to be deep red, Republican Texas, but also across the country as Muslims win elections, pushing them closer to control not only over their local governments (like Plummer), but also at the federal level.

Left-leaning old-media newspapers, like the Houston Chronicle, has tried to obfuscate Sharia on Plummer’s behalf, stating that Sharia only gets implemented in Muslim-majority countries while insisting that here in America, Sharia is merely something that guides personal and dietary choices.

But the Islamic apologists at the Chronicle fail to mention things like the EPIC City development that tried to restrict its housing development to practicing Muslims, or mosque minaret towers blasting calls to prayer five times a day beginning at 4:30 a.m. in Muslim-heavy cities around the country.

The Chronicle also failed to mention the Dearborn, MI, mayor who recently, publicly told a Christian minister and resident that he “was not welcome” in the city.

Muslims are taking power. They are the fastest-growing demographic in the United States, and if this trend continues, it won’t be long until Muslims fully exercise that power.

That is why it is so incredibly important for Congress to pass the Preserving a Sharia-Free America Act NOW, before even one more city’s peace is shattered by a 4:30 a.m. loudspeaker blaring the Islamic call to prayer. 

Demand Congress pass the Preserving a Sharia-Free America Act.
