See my article about this imbroglio here, and the accompanying video here. That a recall of Harrison should even be considered shows how far the stigmatization of any opposition to jihad terror and Sharia oppression has advanced in the U.S.
Harrison said Islam should not be in the public schools. Does he have cause for concern? Yes. Liberty High School in Frisco, Texas, recently established a prayer room for Muslim students, drawing a rebuke from Texas Deputy Attorney General Andrew Leonie, who said: “Liberty High School’s policy should be neutral toward religion. However, it appears that students are being treated different based on their religious beliefs. Such a practice, of course, is irreconcilable with our nation’s enduring commitment to religious liberty.” But in response, Liberty High School doubled down, and kept its Islamic prayer room.
There have been reports of Islamic indoctrination in public schools in Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, New Jersey, and elsewhere.
But Harrison is “anti-Muslim,” and faces recall, for opposing this. Unless and until such initiatives as this recall effort are decisively rejected, America is in deep trouble, as it will be ever more difficult to mount any opposition to jihad and advancing Sharia. That, of course, is the objective of those who mounted this recall effort.
“City secretary accepts recall petition for Councilman Harrison,” by Kelsey Samuels, Plano Star Courier, April 4, 2018 (thanks to TX Deb):
For over an hour Wednesday, Plano city secretary Lisa Henderson counted 568 pages of a recall petition against Councilman Tom Harrison. After he refused to resign during a special session in February, residents came together under the name Our Plano One Plano with one singular hope: remove Harrison from the Plano City Council.
After weeks of canvassing, the group accumulated over 4,000 signatures to recall Harrison and bring his seat up for re-election.
During a short press conference, Ann Bacchus of Our Plano One Plano said, “We stand together today to say to Tom Harrison and anyone else who wants to do this that we reject this kind of bigotry, discrimination and intolerance. Plano is excellent and it is excellent because of all of you, because of the diversity. Our residents, Plano residents, deserve more than indignation.”
Once Henderson accepted the petition, she has five days to verify each signature and present a report to Plano City Council, which she’ll submit April 9 at the next Plano City Council meeting.
Al Samara, longtime friend of Harrison’s, acted as his spokesman during the press conference….
“He’s being called an Islamophobe. He’s being called a xenophobe. You saw how much hate there was in that room there? There was no cooperative, ‘we’re all neighbors here’ going on in that room,” Samara said. “The councilman’s very shocked by all of this. He’s shocked by the way this opposition has pulled together.”
In Harrison’s original apology, he noted, “My action was personal in nature,” and his intent was to share a different perspective on religion in schools. In a more recent statement, he raised the question “how in the world did that thought,” referring to a Facebook post that called President Donald Trump to ban Islam in schools, “get converted into slavery and homeless veterans? And ultimately into an anti-Muslim attack … Anyone that knows me will attest to me not being ‘anti’ anything. Some of the items said to be attributed to me, I have NEVER seen.”

The over over 4,000 signatures to recall Harrison are all from those naïve and ignorant of islam.

Yes–all clueless people. I wonder who the people collecting the signatures were? Muslims, or leftists, or both?
Lydia Church says
islam is evil.
I say that without apology, forever.
And did they get a prayer room for other groups?
Hmmm.
Granddaddy says
I guess if enough people want to be Muslims, if they want to be slaves or live as second-class human beings, if they want their daughters to undergo FGM and their sons to be jihadis and learn hate and lies in school and in the name of God, if they want to wear a burka-bag everywhere they go, if they want to live all their lives in fear of being called a hypocrite or an apostate, if they want everything they say and do examined for Islamic piety, if they want their daughters sold in “marriage”, if they want to condone the murder of non-Muslims, if they want to live by Sharia day and night and everywhere until they die, if they want to share in the collective guilt of the mass murder of 270 million innocent people over the last 1400 years…then I guess they will.
And you can’t talk them out of it, no sir. They can’t bother to pick up the Quran and read it, but they’re right, you know, and anyone who disagrees with them is wrong wrong wrong. Even Jesus. And, “I’ll do what I wanna do and you can’t tell me what to do!”
What an enlightened bunch of ignoramuses.

Every single time Western civilisation takes a step back and offers the other cheek it considers itself “strong” for being tolerant. And every single time the other side considers it a victory in its struggle to conquer all of Western society – and becomes a bit bolder.
Robert Meacham says
If Texas and other conservative southern states are moving Heaven and Earth to KEEP Muslim prayer rooms in public schools then it appears we are on a sinking ship. Out changing demographics and our weak and spiritually bankrupt children are deeply troubling. It seems too many of our citizens have no depth beyond the trendiness of the times.

OFFTOPIC, but: an Urgent call to my fellow- Aussies to make use of an opportunity to *do* something visible to resist the Jihad and show solidarity with fellow Infidels (in this instance, Jewish infidels in Infidel Israel, currently under attack from Jihad-Armed-Camp-Gaza).
All details – both of the Enemy’s event, and of the proposed riposte – are conveniently summarised here:

Melbourne: Australia, April 7th: A Call to Stand Up Against Muslim Jew-Haters And Their Dhimmi Fellow-Travellers
One may also consult Avi Yemini’s Facebook page (just search his name, and it should come up).
I strongly encourage any Aussie jihadwatchers here reading this, to go along, if you possibly can, to the counter-rally on 7th April 2018 at 2 pm (ideally, aim to turn up in small groups – threes and fours and fives – from about 1 pm onward, oh-so-casually). Wouldn’t it be terrific if the pro-Israel – and therefore, counter-jihad – gathering were BIGGER, visibly bigger, and also much better behaved, than the anti-Israel Muslim-and-associated-Jewhaters and freedom-haters loudmouth mob?
Location: Swanston Street, Melbourne, opposite the State LIbrary of Victoria. Time – 2-3.30 pm, Saturday 7th April.
It’s a long, long way to Melbourne from most other parts of Australia; but if you do happen to live in or near Melbourne, or can *afford* to travel from other locations – notably Canberra and Sydney – do please make the effort. The bigger and more visible the Resistance, the better. If Britons could slog through the snow to the railway to get to London to hear Tommy Robinson at Speaker’s Corner, Aussies in the suburbs of Melbourne or neighbouring towns can surely make the effort to bus it, train it or drive to central Melbourne to stand in solidarity with the tiny Jewish state of Israel that is under attack from genocidal Jihad.
Resist the Jihad! Stand with Israel!
I have posted this here so as to try to reach fellow Aussie jihadwatchers quickly.
So often, we here at jihadwatch will be attacked, by wet-blanketers, as mere keyboard warriors who are not *doing* anything.
Well, this *is* an opportunity to stand up and be counted – get out on the streets, together, and say – “We denounce and oppose the murderous Global Jihad, whether it be directed against Israel, or against Australia, or against any other free Infidels anywhere”.
My only concern about the pro-Israel rally is that it is a *defensive* move; a *response* to a pro-Jihad rally.
The *instant* that we heard the news from Israel that some local Gazan Muslim jihadis had gotten themselves shot dead or wounded in the course of attempting to breach Israel’s sovereign border, the pro-Israel and Resistance to Jihad groups in Australia such as ALA and Q Society, liaising with jihad-aware Jewish groups, should have had *their* pro-Israel rally organised, booked, and on the street. We in the resistance need to be a *lot* quicker off the mark; we need to go on the offensive, we need to start acting *first*.
gravenimage says
Hear, hear, DDA! Please let us know how this goes.

And that applies, also, to the resistance in *other* western countries. The pro-Israel counter-jihad people should be planning to be out on the street – in front of the Israeli embassy, say, waving the Israeli flag and the home-country flag – BEFORE ever the anti-Israel mob gets there.
This should be the case in Canada, the USA, the UK, France, *India*, anywhere in the free world.
Have someone – or a group – whose task is to monitor the news. If there’s a major uptick in jihad hostilities – such as this latest outburst on the Gaza-Israel border – and especially if those hostilities result in mohammedans getting killed by Israel acting in self-defence – you must *assume* that the pro-Jihad mob will be ginning up a ‘protest’ or ‘rally’ for ‘palestine (sic)’. So you – we! – must be ready to **get in first** with a rally proclaiming and supporting Israel’s right of self-defence against Jihad.
At the same time, whether there is a pro-Israel rally or not, ALL of us have access to email and writing paper; nothing to stop *individuals* from writing letters of support to Israel’s official representative/s in our various home countries, telling that we totally understand what they are up against, and that far from condemning their actions of self-defence, we *applaud* them.
Chris Malan says
Can anyone answer this: how did Islam become the darling of the liberals? Clearly, the liberal worldview is totally at odds with the nature and worldview of Islam.
I can only think it’s because conservatives are less than enamoured by Islam – anything conservatives dislike liberals love. Maybe, if we started loving Islam…
b.a. freeman says
actually, Chris, if i’m not mistaken, the left has had a thing for islam for a couple of centuries now. i’m thinking that they must admire its totalitarian qualities. in the past, the word “liberal” used to mean somebody who subscribed to enlightenment ideals, but ever since the early 20th century, it has come to be identified more and more with the hard left, to the point where rioting and physical attacks are now acceptable methods of shutting down opponents.
gravenimage says
Many hard leftists like Islam–many liberals just think it is not a danger.
Chris Malan says
Did they miss the two planes flying into the Word Trade Center buildings?
gravenimage says
Sadly, lots of liberals are in denial about Islam, and think there are just a few “extremists”.
Recently I asked a number of people I know about Jihad terror attacks in the US since 9/11–the Boston Marathon bombing, Ft. Hood massacre, San Bernardino, Orlando, etc–many of them had no idea that there had been *any* Jihad terror attacks since 9/11.
When I mentioned the above, most of them had either not heard of these attacks at all, or had no idea they were carried out by Muslims. And these are all at least superfically intelligent people.
Most of them have absolutely no idea what is going in Europe, either, and think that things are much less violent there than in the US. No idea about the huge rashes of rape and Jihad terror there.
The denial runs deep.
medaber_emet says
America you just wait until you will have to give the muslim their territories
in each state there is going to be a 2 states solution one for the muslims and one for the rest of you stupid infidels
or if the muslims will be patient enough they slowly will shove their sharia down your throths until you will be fully sharia compliant and one day your children will find themselfs as a minority under violent islamic regime that will demend and get the jizya
what a shame how the greatest nation has consciously commited suicide by accepting arabs and persians muslims as citizens

Dear Americans. you are getting into trouble deeper and deeper. All this stuff of “tolerance” is the beginning of the end of freedom and peace.
Today it is the opening of prayer rooms at schools or the wearing of the hijab. Tomorrow it is the burning of Christian churches and the rape of non-hijabed women.
Japetto Danatelli says
Inch by inch muslims are chipping away at our equal rights and freedoms. Hardly a day goes by where we don’t hear some sickening tale about how muslims—the poor poor muslims–are hurt and angry by our way of life. Then of course our leftist cry babies go into sympathetic over drive and start chopping away at our liberties like dog meat. It sickens me to see islam in our public schools, it’s infuriating to see our elected leaders betray us like this. It’s a good thing I’m not like so many muslims or I’d probably drive a van in to a crowd of people or blow up some children at a concert. But I won’t, because I had good Christian parents that taught me the value of human life and respect for others. I didn’t have a god that inspired bigoted hate toward people for religion; I didn’t have a prophet that taught that violence was a sacred obligation for the believer. I don’t think we in America should have to try this hard to please people who don’t give a hoot about our POV.
“We stand together today to say to Tom Harrison and anyone else who wants to do this that we reject this kind of bigotry, discrimination and intolerance.
Ha! The religion of islam is built on bigotry, discrimination, and intolerance!
Stick your lying hypocrisy up your a$$. Do these frauds ever stop and consider that the belief system they’re building prayer rooms for causes murder and oppression on a genocidal scale? No, of course not. They don’t have the mental capacity or the heart to see past their own perverse and selfish goals. These appeasers are a menace to any free and peaceful society. Don’t pretend to care about people while protecting a “religion” that is explicitly violent and hateful for bigoted reasons. The bloody facts don’t matter to these traitors. They are jihadists at heart, even if they call themselves “American.”
Out with the traitors, in with the patriots!

“…Anyone that knows me will attest to me not being ‘anti’ anything…”
I live in the same county as this guy. If there’s a school board meeting I may show up for his job. But it’s not like there’s a lot to fight for. If you’re not anti-anything, can it be said you’re for something?
The whole point of my naval service is I’m anti a lot of things.
Troybeam says
The fault lies in the teaching method when the baby boomers were in school and the school system taught that Islam was the religion of peace over and over again through generations. That thought process here in America is the reason why so many defend Islam. What needs to be done is a wake up call to the American masses. Hopefully not a mass attack against the people but another type of attack called real education on the teachings of Islam and its soul purpose to conquer.
Need to stop showing Islam as a victim which they play at very well but as the perpetrator who are using our First Amendment against the American people to gain using sharia law as a religious means to Islam when it actually is the legal/judicial system meant for Muslims only with laws in sharia for non Muslims.
WESTPAC Spy says
Muhammad was the original cry bully. If he existed at all. And if he didn’t exist, the men who fabricated him were.
Islam’s playbook is really thin. How have we not caught on after all these centuries?
JawsV says
Previous centuries did. It’s only the 21st century that whitewashes Islam since Geo W Bush’s “religion of peace” after 9/11.

I’m one of the youngest Boomers, and we were never taught that Islam was a religion of peace in school.
James says
Harrisons mistake is that he apologized for his comments. Rule 1 never apologize! Stand firm and repeat your message louder. I always cringe when someone who speaks the truth gets attacked by the left and begins to apologize. All it does is cause the left and islam to smell blood and go into a feeding frenzy.
WESTPAC Spy says
I’d say rule one is never to say anything you’ll later need to apologize for.
Rule1.b. is stick to the truth.
Rule three is then never apologize.
WESTPAC Spy says
Rule two is have a dog, because rule three will make you unpopular and your dog will love you.
Jim Conch says
It is beginning to look like the liberals and ‘progressives’ are inbred with low IQs like their friends, the muslims. When they talk about diversity, do they really want everyone to be different? What happened to being unified as Americans?
UNCLE VLADDI says
Pretending that the global crime-gang called islam is a “race” of poor swarthy animal-people, oppressed by the mentally superior whites, in order to slander everyone who notices it’s a crime-gang as a hatefully bigoted “racist” – is to deliberately enable that crime-gang’s crimes by hiding and destroying the evidence of same, and thus to be a willing accessory to those crimes. Since islam is a murder-gang, and the penalty for committing and enabling the commission of murder is DEATH, anyone and everyone who calls an opponent of muslims, islam, and their global jihad, a “racist!” should be lawfully put to death.
Everyone who defends islam and muslims endorses crime.
Endorsing crime IS a crime, so those doing it are criminals.
Right in the Qur’an is: the obligation to murder Jews and Christians (Surah 9:29), to terrorize all non-Muslims (8:12), to rape young girls (65:4), to enslave people for sex (4:3), to lie about one’s true goals (3:54), and the command to make war on all the infidels (9:123) and subjugate the entire world to Allah (9:33).
Are death-threats legal? NO.
Is extortion legal? NO.
Is slavery legal? NO.
Is murder legal? NO.
Is rape legal? NO.
THEN ISLAM IS ILLEGAL!
Rape, slavery, robbery, extortion and murder are never OK!
Everything muslims pretend to see as “holy” is already a crime!
So nobody has a legal right to practice islam anywhere on earth!
IN TRYING TO MAKE CRITICISM OF THE GLOBAL CRIME GANG CALLED “ISLAM” INTO A CRIME, TO PROTECT THAT CRIME GANG BY HIDING THE EVIDENCE OF ITS CRIMES, SUCH PEOPLE ARE CRIMINALS AND TRAITORS TO RATIONALITY, CIVILIZATION, AND HUMANITY ITSELF.
But, hadn’t you heard?! Being angry at (“hateful” towards) criminals is now the most vile sin, while pitying (“tolerating”) them all as “fellow victims,” is to be deemed the highest moral virtue, these days!
Having no facts, logic, or reasonable arguments with which to defend their own crimes and treason, they must in stead substitute this global attempt to control our very thinking – through an emotional, sub-conscious “narrative” – so much so, that the only advice we hear from “our” hypocrite governments, their pet media, and the corporazi globalist banksters who own them all, seems to invariably be:
“Anyone who doesn’t automatically pity all criminals as fellow victims should be hated!”
Which is why hurting the feelings of criminals by accusing them of their crimes, is now a “hateful” crime itself!
I hope that after he’s recalled, he wins his re-election by an even more overwhelming margin!

Plano, Texas accepts recall petition for councilman who called for Islam not be taught as fact in public schools
…………………………..
Just appalling.
Granddaddy says
If the citizens of Plano vote Harrison out, they will most likely vote a Muslim in to take his place. That’s what the Muslims are counting on and that’s actually what it’s all about. It’s why they wouldn’t accept Harrison’s apology, and most likely they have a candidate already in the background somewhere as we speak. Someone should find him for an interview, ask him about holy child molesting and wife beating.
PRCS says
True.
True.
And, true–but will someone do that?
gravenimage says
Not that many Muslim politicians in Plano, Texas–not yet. But if Harrison is voted out, he will almost certainly be replaced with a dhimmi who knows “better” than to say anything critical about Islam.
