Showing Original Post only (View all)VICIOUS Christian protesters shout down Muslim kids singing National Anthem at Texas rally [View all]
Angry conservative protesters disrupted the Texas Muslim Capitol Day celebration in Austin on Thursday, repeatedly shouting No Sharia and screaming Go home.
The celebration was organized by the Texas chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, and according to their website, the event was an opportunity for community members to learn about the democratic political process and how to be an advocate for important issues. The group largely consisted of Muslim students and children, along with faith leaders.
The event was protested by a group calling itself the Patriot Defense Foundation Inc., who claimed that CAIR sought to create a climate in which it would be able to take over America, destroying it for Americans (who) believe in the Constitution and what this country was founded on.
Local reporters said protesters shouted Islam is a lie! at Muslim children when they were singing the National Anthem. One protester reportedly shouted: Theres no twilight in Sharia!
