Motives of American Muslims debated at Republican meeting in Fort Worth
By AMAN BATHEJA


FORT WORTH — What are the intentions of Muslims in America? A local activist told a Republican club Monday night that Muslims are intent on overthrowing America. But the Tarrant County medical examiner, who is Muslim, denounced such remarks as hate speech.

Dorrie O’Brien was booked months ago to speak to the North Tarrant Republican Club. She riled local Muslims last month when she delivered a speech to a Republican club in Hurst in which she said most or all American Muslims support terrorism.

After hearing that O’Brien was going to give a similar presentation to another Republican club, Medical Examiner Nizam Peerwani requested time to deliver a rebuttal, North Tarrant Republican Club president Paul Enlow said.

In her presentation to about 80 people, O’Brien said that Muslims are intent on converting the Western world to Islam. She described as "stealth jihad" a malicious effort by Muslims to subvert schools, local governments and banks throughout the country.

O’Brien reviewed the five pillars of Islam, noting that one of them is zakat, which means to give a percentage of one’s income to charity. "There is a tremendous amount of proof out there that the zakat is now funding terrorism," she said.

1. To make a living and raise their kids?

Like everyone else on the planet?

2. I live near Fort Worth and the Muslims I have met are very nice people.

They are far more educated than most Christians. Of course, Fort Worth is very right wing and therefore has the largest concentration of ignorant people in the entire state.

3. Who is Dorrie O'Brien? Only one I found was a book publisher from Aurora, CO.

DFW Muslims offended by speech at Republican Women's meeting
By AMAN BATHEJA


Some members of the Islamic community are troubled by a recent meeting of a local Republican club after the speaker alleged that most American Muslims are involved in terrorism.

Dorrie O’Brien of Grand Prairie was the guest speaker at the Metroplex Republican Women’s monthly meeting April 17 in Hurst. She is the head of the Grand Prairie chapter of ACT! for America, a Pensacola, Fla.-based group that describes itself as dedicated to fighting "the assault of radical Islam," according to its Web site.

O’Brien’s speech described most or all Muslims in America as cooperating with terrorist organizations and supporting the overthrow of America, said people who were there.

Kim Martin, a club member and Republican precinct chairwoman, said she wrote the club's president about her concern with O'Brien's speech.

"She was very derogatory toward all Muslims," Martin said.

6. A former Muslim student of mine is now a Captain in the US Navy.

As a Lieutenant he flew combat ops off of the USS America (CV-66) during Gulf War I. I'd like to see him go head-to-head with this fatuous bimbo.
