Anti-Islam Rhetoric

Group Told Muslims Trying to Overthrow America

A local Texas activist told a Republican club that Muslims are intent on overthrowing America. Dorrie O’Brien was booked to speak at North Tarrant Republican Club. She angered Muslims previously by stating that most American Muslims support terrorism.  A Tarrant County Medical examiner, who is a Muslim, denounced this as hate speech. He requested a chance to rebut her speech when he found out she was booked to make a similar presentation in Tarrant County.

In her presentation she states that Muslims are intent on converting the West to Islam. She speaks of a “stealth Jihad” that is seeking to subvert banks, schools and local government. She reviewed the five pillars of Islam and pointed out the one known as zakat, or giving a percentage of one’s income to charity. She state there is proof that zakat is funding terrorism.

O’Brien left before the medical examiner, Nizam Peerwani, gave his speech. He spent his time correcting factual errors in O’Brien’s speech and reminding people of examples of religious persecution; the Holocaust being one of these examples. He also stated that hate speech will destroy our country. For his part he says he gives his most of his zakat to organizations like the Red Cross and the Salvation Army.
