Keep going. stein is woefully misinformed. The ismailis have disguised who and what they really are inthe US. They have even diguised their mosques so they do not make Americans uncomfortable.

MOSQUE IN PLANO, TEXAS

PLANO – The Ismaili Muslim community announced Tuesday that it is building a $6.5 million worship and community center in Plano, where it has found a warm welcome.

Gov. Rick Perry flew in to lay the first ceremonial brick for the center's foundation. It was a symbolic gesture since the site for the new center will be a few miles northeast of the Gleneagles Country Club in Plano, where the foundation ceremony was held.

The governor, who is friends with the Ismaili Muslims' spiritual leader, His Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan, said he was honored to participate.

"Our culture is enriched and our society strengthened by a diverse mixture of traditions, heritages and faiths," Mr. Perry said. "While differences may exist on the surface, there is a common hope for the future that dwells in the heart of every Texan."

The Ismaili Jamatkhana and Center is a house of worship for Ismailis and a gathering place for youths. The proposed 30,000-square-foot Plano facility will be the first one in Collin County and one of five Jamatkhanas in North Texas.

The complex eschews the domes typically found atop Islamic mosques in favor of a more contemporary structure with gardens, a prayer hall, social space, and administrative and education wings.

HERE IS THE MONEY QUOTE:

Ismailis belong to the Shia tradition of Islam, which is a sect of the Shiite group. As such, they believe in one God and consider the Quran the holy text through which God's words were revealed to the prophet Muhammad. They believe that Muhammad was the last of God's messengers to mankind.

Same quran as every other muslim. Same beliefs. Same EVERYTHING. Just not showing it here....for now.

You sound like a ‘kill all muslims” type. Do you believe that there are any honest, decent muslims?

Honestly, that does it for me. I cannot be supportive of him in any way. IF he wins the nomination, yes, I will vote for him because sitting home is a vote for the Muslim Marxist in chief. Primary, no, he will not get my vote.

Now you are just being silly. Catholics are the same as Methodists? Mormons are the same as Baptists? Episcopalians are the same as Seventh DAy Adventists? Jehovah's Witnesses also claim the same Bible.

No Muslim has the correct faith, so it's hard to argue that one particular sect is "better" than another. But from the perspective of the religious impact on the political and socioeconomic fabric of our country, it's absurd to suggest that everybody with a passing believe in "islam" is identically dangerous.

Although I certainly know that some people truly believe that; I'll just say that I bet you won't find a SINGLE republican presidential candidate who will agree with you on that point. Even the occasional candidate for any office who expresses concern about Sharia law will also tell you they don't think that most muslims present that danger or raise that concern.

Tell me which candidate you support which has called for banning the building of Mosques.
