A Republican representative of the Lone Star State had a very specific message for Muslims visiting her office on Texas Muslim Capitol Day: Declare allegiance to the United States and “renounce Islamic terrorist groups.”
In recess with the House until Monday, State Rep. Molly White wrote on her Facebook page that she left instructions with her employees on how to greet Muslim visitors. “I did leave an Israeli flag on the reception desk in my office with instructions to staff to ask representatives from the Muslim community to renounce Islamic terrorist groups and publicly announce allegiance to America and our laws. We will see how long they stay in my office,” White wrote on Thursday morning.
Thursday in Austin marked Texas Muslim Capitol Day, an event organized by the local chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. The group on its website describes the activities as “an opportunity for community members to learn about the democratic political process and how to be an advocate for important issues.”
In an earlier post the same day, White wrote that “Texans must never allow fringe groups of people to come here so that they can advance their own culture instead of becoming an American and assimilating into the American way of life. That, I can assure is not the intent of most Muslims who move to America.” She also posted the link to her Twitter account.
