From Talking Points Memo

Newly-minted state Rep. Molly White (R) wrote Thursday in a Facebook post that she’d left an Israeli flag on the reception desk in her Austin office to mark the occasion of Texas Muslim Capitol Day. She said she also instructed her staff to “ask representatives from the Muslim community to renounce Islamic terrorist groups and publicly announce allegiance to America and our laws.”
“We will see how long they stay in my office,” White wrote.
Texas Muslim Capitol Day is organized by the Texas chapters of the Council on American-Islam Relations. The event encourages participants to lobby lawmakers on legislation including a bill that would prohibit courts from interpreting religious law.
