A group of McKinney, Texas residents has launched an effort to recall the mayor and three city council members, a week after the city council unanimously approved a contentious proposal for a new mosque.
Organizers cited a "loss of public confidence" in the ability of the elected officials to represent the city's residents in filings submitted this week to the city.
The recall effort seeks to remove from office Mayor Bill Cox and council members Justin Beller, Geré Feltus and Ernest Lynch, reported the Dallas Morning News.
Recall organizers must return the completed petition within 45 days of filing the affidavit, which would be 5 p.m. Sept. 26, according to the city's charter. To trigger a recall election, they must obtain about 5,800 signatures from registered McKinney voters - equal to at least 30% of the votes cast at the last regular municipal election.
If successful, a date for the recall election is not yet clear.
According to the Dallas Morning News report, for more than four hours, dozens spoke to the council to oppose a site plan for McKinney Islamic Association's new sanctuary, gym and classroom building.
Our friend, principled limited government constitutional conservative U.S. Rep. Keith Self, R-McKinney, urged the council to reject the site plan to "stop the spread" of Muslim Sharia law in Texas.
"The freedom to choose our faith or not does not exist in political Islam," Rep. Self explained to council members. "This is your time to choose to honor your oath that starts with the U.S. Constitution."
Councilman Justin Beller, who is among the council members targeted by the recall, urged those at the meeting to "resist this reckless political rhetoric which, in my opinion, amounts to election year fear-mongering."
Some in the crowd booed, shouting a single word: "Recall," and now it appears they are making good on that threat.
And they are right to be opposed to the construction or expansion of a mosque in their community, because just as Islam is not a religion, but a totalitarian political movement bent on world domination, a mosque is not a religious edifice, but the headquarters of that political movement.
And you don’t have to take our word for that, it comes from no less an authority than Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, President of Türkiye, who sees himself as the natural heir to the Ottoman Caliphate that once ruled much of the Middle East by conquering the formerly Christian and Jewish inhabitants of the region.
While the Dallas Morning News report described Sharia as “the moral and religious code in Islam that guides the personal religious practices of Muslims,” nothing could be further from the truth.
Sharia is the means by which Muslims subjugate a conquered population, and a population may be conquered by information warfare and demoralization, as well as by more violent means of conquest.
The claim that Sharia is “the moral and religious code in Islam that guides the personal religious practices of Muslims,” is part of the same information warfare that tells you not to worry that jihad means a “personal spiritual quest.”
Again, nothing could be further from the truth, as this Imam explains.
No country that has admitted Muslims has ever known peace afterwards, and no country or people has ever defeated Islam through democratic means.
So, right now, in our defense of American constitutional government we are trying to do something that has never been done in the 1,400 years since Islam’s war on the rest of humanity began. And the first rule of defeating Islam in the war it has declared on America is one that the good people of McKinney, Texas have gotten absolutely right: Never, ever, let a mosque be built in your community.
McKinney Recall said it must collect 5,805 valid signatures from registered McKinney voters by September 26, we urge all McKinney residents to join the fight to defend constitutional liberty, sign the recall petition and recall those elected officials who have failed in their duty and broken their oath to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States and of this State” by approving the construction of a hostile foreign military installation in their city.
