Texas Muslims Targeted by Freshman Republican Representative

In a move reminiscent of Joseph McCarthy, newly-elected Republican member of the Texas House of Representatives Kyle Biedermann sent a survey to Texas Muslims, in advance of the Texas Muslim Capitol Day organized by the state chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

He was not checking to see who wanted the vegetarian boxed lunch and who would be OK with halal chicken.

Per Quorum Report:

Freshman Rep. Kyle Biedermann, R-Fredericksburg, sent a questionnaire to Muslims across Texas asking about their support for Shariah law, the Muslim Brotherhood and ex-Muslims. A copy of the survey was obtained by Quorum Report on Wednesday. The return address on it is Biedermann’s Texas Capitol office.

Copies of the survey, marked “URGENT REPLY ASAP” on the envelope and addressed to attendees of Muslim Advocacy Day slated for the end of this month at the Capitol, were sent to Muslims not only in Biedermann’s district in the Hill Country but as far away as North Texas.

Even by Texas republican standards he's a thug, and we need to keep our eyes on him.
