Yes, I read his speech praising Imam Aga Khan, NOT ISLAM. And this is my response to YOU as well:

Well, consider this. Imam Aga Khan is NOT Imam Sayyid Ali Khamenei of Iran. He is a businessman out of Bahrain who does business with Exxon/Mobil of Texas which has helped us keep our gasoline prices in Texas lower than most every body elses since about forever.

Number two, Imam Aga Khan has used his development company to establish houses of education and allows women to participate because he believes the more educated women are, the more respect they will get in the Islamic world. He uses his wealth to build health service for his people. He’s also established micro-finance institutions for women in Northern Pakistan which they have had in Bahrain for years.

If, and I say, IF, very cynically, there is something of a more ‘moderate’ Islam, Imam Khan is representative of it. Simply because he’s a businessman first, before he’s an Imam.

Rick Perry is the Governor of our state, they were building a mosque in Houston which is in his state and invited him. Had he turned them down, what would that have accomplished. If he stood up dissed all of Islam while he was there what would that have accomplished, especially in the face of what this lone Imam is trying to do within his world to make a more prosperous and educated population in it, instead of an ignorant bunch of people mired only in their dogma. This Imam, whose programs Perry had visited, and Governor Perry both know that business is what makes a capitalist world go round.

So you've turned Muzzie, or just dhimmi?

Only because you choose to see the benefits of his money in your state....but you are very much in the dark if you think for even a moment the man sees Business first....maybe business being used to secure Islam in our country but his BUSINESS first and foremost is to get a stronghold in this country in order to establish Islam's agenda in this country....."First and Foremost"

Muslims have stated very clearly they will win this country by infilitrating business, politically and "peaceful" ways....but Peace to Muslims is ONLY thru Islam.
