From the Ex. Director of CAIR...headquartered in Houston Texas.
“The Muslim community has a significant number of political conservatives, and they do support Perry,”.....said Mustafaa Carroll, executive director of the Council on American Islamic Relations in Houston,
So islamojerk websites is all you got?
Go beat up on Obama.

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.
You want Perry supporters to be prevented from supporting Perry at FR. There's no distortion of your posting habits. You can't lie your way out of that.
Yeah, you responded. And you also attacked Perry supporters before I ever posted anything to you, as usual. You're not fooling anyone with that "I give what I get" horsesh*t. You ALWAYS "give" first on Perry threads because you have an agenda.
Ignore me. I don't care. It doesn't change the truth about your disgusting behavior.
Two of the instructors to teach the Children Islam in Texas were from CAIR....and we know that Cair has direct affiliation with terroists groups...Hamas is one.
Or that the CAIR angle was a local chapter from Houston that was basically teasing Perry for finding the most weaksauce Muslims to make nice with. (It's just too bad he couldn't find some better Muslims to hang out with, like GW with the Saudi Royals or Barack with the Muslim Brotherhood.)
But no, you're right. Perry's probably handing out suicide vests to Texan 4th graders as we speak. That sounds pretty reasonable an assumption.
Personally, it is mostly because Palin quit after two years. Speaking of Rino stuff, did you knnow that Alaska is an illegal immigration santcuary state and Palin kept it that way?
As a side, this year has been booming business wise.
Soft sell it all you want, those in denial of the Islamic threat in our nation often do just that.
It’s more than funny you’d mention “this sect” is hated by some other Islamic...groups.......we know well not uncommon for Muslims to hate one another. That is no news at all...their history attests to that.
Ismaili’s adhere to the teachings of the Koran and see mohammed as their Prophet.....says it all to any who care to investigate.
As for your’re CAIR comment....you do realize how foolish it is to softsell anything Cair says.
Perry trumped this tax on business as necessary to relieve homeowners of the burden of the school tax. As a homeowner in Texas, I can tell you that this tax is a serious burden. I’ve owned homes in two other states and Texas is much, MUCH higher. I believe that we were only second to Wisconsin for that. (On a $120,000 home in Arizona, we paid less than $600 in annual PT. The first year here, we paid more than $1200 for a $100,000 home. Five years later - last year - we paid more than $1800. I don’t remember the number this spring, but it actually went down. I don’t know how much of that was the tax break and how much was from the serious decline in property value.)
Older people and the disabled didn’t get much of a break either. (That’s my main issue.)
The gripe we had here was that the business tax passed, but we didn’t get our drop in property taxes. After a lot of screaming (and an election last year), we finally got some relief last spring.
You are right.
So what do you propose he do, create Muslim Free zones? Kind of like Hitler tried to create Jew Free zones? This is America FGS!
I guess you missed his role in preventing another Gaza flotilla. Do your homework and quit spouting inane “He’s a Muslim Lover” nonsense.
They are his constituents just like everyone else. If there’s a significant population he’s going to have to form a relationship with them. He’s chosen the least radical element with which to work but he’s not going to prevent them from coming to Texas, nor should he.
“He’s chosen”..... the least radical element with which to work but “he’s not going to prevent them from coming to Texas, nor should he.”
Your statement speaks volumes.....yes, Perry has chosen to entertain, support and invite Muslims into his state....since when are any governors or people to “select” muslims? Perry’s sought them out as well as their investors.
Would be a good thing if people stopped soft selling muslim immigration and covering over the obvious actions Perry’s implemented to bring them into Texas.
***The Gardasil was not mandated - there was an online opt out.
Besides the fact that it never went into effect.***
Please, please get your facts straight here. The opt-out was a religious exemption for ALL vaccines. You couldn’t avoid Gardasil and still have your daughter vaccinated against, say, measles. There is NO medical exemption for vaccines in Texas. Even if your daughter were allergic to a component in the vaccine and had a bad reaction to the first shot, you would’ve had to continue to give it to her. Your only alternative is was to lie and say that you didn’t want any vaccines on religious grounds.
I dealt with the school nurse, our family doctor and the local parents on this issue at the time. There were many of us up in arms. I had our own ‘opt out’ sheets printed and notarized, sitting in a file in case we needed it.
(Oh, one more thing. I was told that I couldn’t opt-out my daughter from the vaccines, but still get my son the normal MMR, polio, etc. because it would prove that we were lying. So the only way to avoid giving my daughter Gardisil was to stop vaccinating both of my children against all diseases. Our other option was homeschool and I was more than ready to pull the trigger on that one I can tell you.)
And it was not stopped because of Perry. It was stopped in spite of him. He was unapologetic until the end.
This is the one issue that conservatives cannot honestly defend. There are many other issues that are more ‘grey’ and can be debated, but not this one.
People might have been *saying* that you could opt-out at the time and you might have *thought* that you could at the time, but those of us who actually looked into *doing* it found out the true story.
The whole thing was a serious mess.
