He co-founded the “Sharia-Free America Caucus”
Here’s some context about the ISIS plot to kill Rep. Keith Self.
U.S. Rep. Keith Self (R-Texas) said Americans will have to confront a difficult constitutional question as debate over Sharia law and religious liberty intensifies around McKinney’s mosque project.
The discussion centered on McKinney, where the City Council voted 7-0 on August 4 to approve a 32,573-square-foot mosque and Islamic center after city staff found the revised site plan complied with existing zoning and development rules.
Self said the First Amendment protects religion, speech and assembly, but he distinguished personal beliefs from conduct.
“The government can’t monitor those. Can’t tell you what to do,” Self said of individual matters of faith. “On the other hand, conduct under the law is governed.”
Now a Muslim terrorist from McKinney has been arrested for plotting to kill Rep. Self.
The FBI has arrested and charged a 17-year-old boy from McKinney for planning to assassinate U.S. Representative Keith Self at an event last Saturday.
Federal investigators said the juvenile was also planning to carry out a terrorist attack in North Texas on behalf of ISIS.
Sources tell WFAA that the 17-year-old had been radicalized recently and was being monitored by federal agents.
Last month, the McKinney Republican introduced a non-binding resolution in Congress that denounces Sharia law and opposes its implementation within the United States. Prior to that, Self has also led legislation against Islamic extremism and Sharia law.
Last December, he co-founded the “Sharia-Free America Caucus” along with U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, R-Austin.
Self’s district is at the center of a high-profile debate over a new mosque that was just approved.
When asked whether his positions on radical Islam might be the reason he was targeted, Self told WFAA: “If it’s ISIS related, you kind of have to believe that. I can’t prove that. I don’t know that for sure. But you have to follow the [old saying] if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s probably a duck.”
Rep. Self was and is right to be concerned about the impact of Islamic mosques on American culture, life and public safety.

I commend his efforts. But the massive influx of Muslims into Texas simply cannot be stopped. There are in fact one mosque built every single week in Texas to keep up with the unbelievable influx of Muslims. These same Muslims will not vote republican. They are very very socialists. They had signs the other day saying spending like “free healthcare”.
You simply can’t keep up with this many mosques and this many people freely moving in to take advantage of the economy and housing prices.
Texas will be a Democrat state. It is no longer sustainable long term for us. Californians and Muslims are coming daily. We even had Abdul signs pitched around here. I don’t think these foreigners understand you can’t vote for Abdul here…..
We did a great job building a wealthy and free state. Now, the time is approaching to give it up to the newcomers. They all want Democrat. What can we do? Maybe we make it this election cycle.

I’ll bet the 17-year-old was born in the USA. Which proves again vetting Muslim immigrants doesn’t work because they breed. Looks like this one read the Koran, and followed its instructions.

Not really a constitutional question when their imams and lay leaders are preaching the overthrow of the constitution, the country, and hatred and violence towards Christians and Jews. Think it’s called sedition
somehistory says
muzzies want to force their way on everyone else and when they can’t , they resort to violence against the opposers.
I’ve been to Mckinney, TX. I can see in my mind’s eye what an eyesore the muzzie barracks will be. Horrific.
I’m glad Rep. Self is safe and the would be assassin has been thwarted.
But since the building will be a barracks where evil will reside, threats will be *preached* and hatred will be the normal feeling of those inside, more threats, more attacks, more assassinations will be planned..

If you don’t deport illegal Muslim migrants to begin with, you’ve got a permanent perpetual problem.
Investigate who gave the building permits for the Mega Mosque, or any Mosque, and put their pictures in the news so citizens know who is behind it.

No Public Funding for Islam and its Muslim Organizations because they are against the USA Constitution with their discrimination, segregation, violence, and terrorism against Non-Muslims! Muslim Islamization includes Muslim Criminal-Terrorist-Gang Organizations using Governments, Bureaucracies, Mosques, Muslim Homes, Muslim Schools, Halal Organizations, Islamic Centers, Sharia Courts, Muslim Non-Profits, etc. to fund, to educate, and to support Islamic Law and Muslim Propaganda against all Non-Muslims(Qur’an 1:5; 3:51, 101, 118; 5:3, 44-48; 8:60, 45:18; 48:29, etc.). Public Funding is a privilege that should NOT BE granted to organizations that are against the US Constitution or Western Constitutions. Totalitarian Islam and its Muslim Organizations including Muslim Schools and Mosques are against the US Constitution due to Muslim funding, teaching, and promoting discrimination, segregation, hatred, rape, violence, totalitarianism, and terrorism against Non-Muslims to make Islamic Law supreme WITH NO EQUALITY UNDER THE LAW. Islam’s Muslims are murderous, Totalitarian Terrorists of Allah operating as a Criminal-Terrorist-Gang Enterprise under Islamic Law using MUSLIM MONEY and MUSLIM LIVES to ultimately conquer the enemies of Allah, the Non-Muslims, with Islamic Law DBA Islam(Qur’an 8:60; 9:5, 29, 111; 49:15, etc.).

Another story from TX
“Musk reveals he fired Austin shooter from Tesla – man ‘assaulted’ woman who walked over Islamic ‘prayer rug’ at work”
“Elon Musk said in an interview with biographer Walter Isaacson that the man who killed three people outside an Austin bar in March had been fired from Tesla’s Gigafactory months earlier, after he assaulted a female coworker who stepped on his prayer rug.
“We had someone who was working at the Tesla factory in Austin until December of last year,” Musk said.
He was fired because he assaulted a woman who stepped on his prayer rug in the factory. OK — so, she wasn’t expecting anyone to be praying in the factory, and he was praying in the factory. She accidentally stepped on his prayer rug, and he assaulted her. He violently assaulted her.
“So he was fired for that, and then a few months later, he went and killed three students in a bar in downtown Austin. Now, I think we shouldn’t let people like that into the country. Do you?”
The shooter was Ndiaga Diagne, 53, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Senegal who lived in the Austin area. On March 1, he opened fire outside Buford’s Backyard Beer Garden in Austin, Texas, killing three people and wounding 15 others before Austin police officers shot and killed him.”

Thank you Somehistory, for the information. Musk is a saving grace for the lunatics in Lefties/progressives and other thugs of sundry names including terrrorists.

Why build mosques in the West? Most Islamic mosque sermons are against other religions. Just as commanded by the quran which says islam is superior to all other religions.
Even in so called moderate Muslim countries mosques are a headache. They ruin people’s lives including Muslims with their increased volumes of call to prayer 5 times a day and more. These people have no regard for the ill and the old. They turn the mosque’s loudspeaker up all the way, disturbing people.

Too many contenders for my favorite congressman – previously Rep Randy Fine, then Rep Brandon Gill and now Rep Keith Self
I do hope we can get more such people in both House & Senate

You can see how system fails to take action at the level of seriousness of the crime. The crap about JUVENILLE as the reason for giving that deranged pig space to get leniency is what leads to more such plots being hatched using similar pigs.
