Answer 1
The question starts with an assumption that may not be correct. Possibly the questioner has picked up on some comment he perceives to be "un-Islamic" and has extrapolated it to a policy. Actually, the majority of Muslims in the United States tend to be Republicans and some fraction thereof, Tea Partiers. The hyper-conservative attitude of the Tea Party probably aligns well with the Muslim distrust of secularism and certainly with the liberal championing of women's rights, homosexuals and free speech. The Tea Party (and Republicans in general) do irritate Muslims by an irrational support of their hated enemy, Israel. [ "Irrational" in this sense does not mean "wrong," merely based on something other than practical politics.]
Answer 2
While US Muslims used to be largely Republican (78% voted Republican in 2000), the increasing anti-Islamic views of the American Right-Wing have created a complete reversal. In 2010, 70% of American Muslims voted Democrat and currently only 11% lean Republican.
The Tea Party has as its primary goal the return to the United States as it was in their perception of the 1950s. It was a time where the "government" did not "control everything" and when immigrants from outside of Europe were rare and when Christianity was the dominant US religion. As a result, anti-Islamic feeling is a natural part of this ethos. In this way, Muslim values are considered "Un-American", regardless of whether or not most American Muslims believe that their views are compatible with American values. Additionally, many Tea Partiers do not see a difference between Radical, Fundamentalist, or Salafist Islam and Conservative Islam on the other. They see all Muslims as a unity that is invading the US as a set of sleeper cells for a Muslim takeover of the United States. While they are not clear on the method of this or what negative results would actually occur if Muslims did achieve this power (which is not even something that they are even trying to do), they are "sure" that is bad.

There is no such thing.Afternoon tea is a mid-to late afternoon break where tea is taken, sometimes with cakes, scones, biscuits or sandwiches.High Tea is taken later than afternoon tea, but earlier than supper (or dinner). It is a heavier meal, with a svoury course such as broth, kippers, mixed grill, etc.A Tea Party is afternoon tea with a larger number of people. It became renowned through the "Mad Hatter's Tea Party" (in "Alice in Wonderland"), the "Boston Tea Party" and the new political "Tea Party" of the American religious right.But, as I said before, there is no such thing as a "High Tea Party".
