An Islamic advocacy group has called for Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz to replace a former head of the Williamson County GOP as his Tennessee campaign chairman.

Kevin Kookogey, who chaired Williamson’s Republican party from 2011 to 2013, is an outspoken critic of Sharia, the law of the Islamic faith.

The Washington, D.C.-based Council on American-Islamic Relations on Tuesday issued a news release calling for Cruz to remove Kookogey from his campaign because of the former county GOP leader’s support for anti-Muslim causes.

“If Senator Cruz chooses to keep Mr. Kookogey on his campaign staff, it would serve as an endorsement of anti-Muslim hate,” CAIR Government Affairs Manager Robert McCaw said.

“In the past few months, Senator Cruz has attended several conferences featuring notorious Islamophobes like Robert Spencer and Frank Gaffney. Despite calls to distance himself from such anti-Muslim bigots, it seems that Senator Cruz is only drawing closer to hate-mongers.”
