The Texas chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Texas) today condemned a social media post by U.S. Representative Chip Roy (R-TX) calling for “No more Muslims,” and called on House members to hold him accountable for his blatant violation of the U.S. Constitution’s guarantee of religious freedom.
On Sunday night, Rep. Roy posted a message on X (formerly Twitter) stating: “No more Muslims. No more criminals. No more marxists. No more corporatists. #SaveTexas.” This rhetoric follows a history of exclusionary policy proposals from the Congressman, including his recent calls to halt all U.S. immigration based on what he described as “Muslim immigrant violence.”

CAIR-Texas also noted that Roy recently admitted that his “Sharia-Free American Caucus” hate group is targeting ALL American Muslims.

In a statement, CAIR-Texas said:
“Representative Chip Roy’s public demand for the exclusion of an entire faith group is a shameful betrayal of his oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution. We must ask our fellow Americans: Imagine the universal and justified outrage if a member of Congress posted a message saying ‘No more Christians or no more Jewish people.’ It would be instantly recognized as a bigoted, unacceptable, and un-American call for a religious test.
“By targeting American Muslims, Rep. Roy is not only inciting bigotry but is actively calling for the dismantling of the First Amendment’s guarantee of religious liberty. It is the height of hypocrisy for a lawmaker to claim the mantle of a ‘constitutionalist’ while advocating for a religious test that the Founding Fathers explicitly prohibited. We call on members of the U.S. House of Representatives to formally hold Rep. Roy accountable for this dangerous and un-American rhetoric. This level of open hostility toward a religious minority has no place in the halls of Congress.”
CAIR-Texas noted that CAIR has previously called for accountability for other lawmakers who have engaged in similar dehumanizing rhetoric, such as Florida Representative Randy Fine, who has faced widespread condemnation for his inflammatory comments targeting the Muslim community.
