There is a huge mosque in Irving (Texas) that I drive by frequently. The day it opened, the crowds were so large they had to have policemen directing traffic.
Oddly enough, I have never seen anyone there since. No signs of activity, no cars in the parking lot, nada.
I don't know when they hold their services, so maybe I just missed them.
Irving is the multi-cultural center of the world. At least it seems so.
In 1963 there was no one here but us white trash.
I was just in Houston for a conference where I had to visit a number of courts. In the downtown area where most of the courts are, there was an old courthouse building - possibly the old State Courthouse? - with the stately columns, steps, etc. that had a big sign on it announcing that it was now the "Islamic Dawa Center." Dawa means conversion, btw. So somebody came up with enough money to buy a nice present for their favorite mullah!
By a strange coincidence, I was also present at a terrorism trial there, where a Bangladeshi convenience store owner pleaded guilty to a money laundering plot so complicated it's hard to know where to begin. He was working with a foreign national named Mohammed Islam and the money was going to Hamas. There's all kinds of money flowing about in the Islamic world, some of it from foreign oil wealth, and much of it from financial and other crime. And it's all being put to evil purposes.
LOL...I live in Arlington.
I haven't seen the mosque in Mesquite you are talking about..but I think Arlington has a few.
Not ALL people in Irving were/are white trash...LOL
Free Republic doesn't allow them either...
