What is a political tea party?

San Angelo Texas Tea Party wants Muslims out of the city. What do you think about this Tea Party position? Why?

• “There are four Muslim families in San Angelo…and that’s four too many,” Tea Party member Terry Campbell declared. By then, the wide and brightly-lit hall had all but cleared, leaving behind only the faint smell of cookies and stale coffee, where a half-hour prior excitement and anger had rung out. There had been roughly 40 members and guests in attendance—a mostly white and graying audience identifiable by their red polos with the name "Tea Party" proudly emblazoned on the breast—but Campbell’s opinion hadn’t stood alone. “There is 1.6 billion…Muslims in the world, and they claim that only 10 percent of the Muslims is radical Islamists,” Campbell continued. “That means there is 160 million Muslim terrorists in the world. “Now, it only takes one with a car bomb to kill hundreds of people. Now, how can you tell which one out of ten is the bad guy?” he paused slightly, “I don’t trust any of them. “ “It’s hard to,” fellow Tea Party member Jack Plott agreed. The group had gathered to hear Dorrie O’Brien, author of “500+ Islamic Words You Should Know” and co-director of ACT! for America in Texas, speak on Sharia Law and the Muslim Brotherhood at the bi-monthly San Angelo Tea Party meeting at the West Texas Training Center. The presentation topic and timing were calculated, Campbell confided. Held just hours before the stroke of midnight on the eve of September 11 when the nation is already sensitive to the Muslim population, the Tea Party hosted the presentation with the intent of educating their audience, in line with the objectives of ACT! for America. http://sanangelolive.com/news/2013-09-11/radical-islam-or-extreme-conservatism-san-angelo-tea-party-wants-muslims-out
