This info has been bantered about for some time now and proven ridiculous.http://frontpagemag.com/2011/08/17/5-myths-about-rick-perry/
RFL
I suppose Rick’s agreements with Muslims here in Texas and support for their building mosques is nothing, either.
Did you know Rick Perry’s DAUGHTHER is married to a high ranking Muslim? The SAME muslim he had Texas sign an “agreement of understanding” with?
Why does Rick not sign a memorandum of understanding with CHRISTIANS?
Here is the speech from the TX Gov website....I DARE you to read it and still think Perry is NOT an advocate of Islam.

In a supposedly center-right nation, where are all the conservatives to run for the GOP nomination?
I don’t think the author made a very convincing case. Norquist has some disturbing associations I’ll admit - but on the other hand his Americans For Tax Reform has been doing fantastic tea party type work for a long long time.
Any article on Norquist that does not include that side of his organization is simply a hit piece IMO.
I don’t have a problem with Perry’s relationship with Aga Khan. I do however, have a problem with his relationship with Grover Norquist.
Perry is a tool, that is true.
It would be more appropriate if Perry directly addressed this issue in one of the debates or, in the alternative, on a national network such as FOX's Sunday program. Then any of his statements could be verified with those sources he cites and the issue put to rest.
Why don't most of his embedded LINKS work?
Hey Old Badger are you the author, Robert Spencer?
David Stein: Debunking the Rick Perry “Pro-Shraria” School Curriculum Myth
Amil Imani Governor Perry's Islam Connection ………”No matter how I tried, I couldn't reach the conclusion that this inclusion promotes Islam or is pro-Sharia. It seems that the mere fact that Islam is included in the curriculum represents supporting it. And with regard to the concern that the education curriculum Perry promoted is pro-Arab and against Israel, the evidence is exactly the opposite. …”
Perry’s “Pro-Sharia” Curriculum DebunkedThe back-and-forth within the anti-sharia community about whether or not Rick Perry is a “fifth columnist” candidate continued this week, with Center for Security Policy’s Dave Reaboi and Ace of Spades both coming to Perry’s defense.
At Counter Contempt, David Stein also analyzed the “controversial” Muslim history curriculum Perry helped coordinate in Texas, and skewered the idea that it’s a pro-Sharia program. You can comb over the whole plan here, but here are a few excerpts:
1. Countries of Western Civilization have secular governments, which means great toleration of cultural and religious differences.
2. Countries of Islamic Civilization for the most part either have religiously dominated governments or demands to make them more religious, which mean less toleration of cultural and religious differences.
3. Muslims often lack respect for Western traditions and points of view. The Muslim relationship to the West is colored by the belief that Western beliefs [whether Christian or atheist] are defective and therefore inferior to Islam.………
As for myself, I haven't made up my mind on Perry, yet ......... but I can't help but think of that adage, "Where there's smoke there's fire". Something is not right about all this!
I looked high and low for any confirmation of this. All I see is are circular blog/internet citations. No bio of either marriage-age son of the Aga Khan indicates a marriage to Perry's daughter.
So please find a viable link for this - or retract it.
And I am no hoodwinked Perry supporter, I am considering him, but he sure ain't my first choice.
Actually, you are not exactly alone.
I think it’s cute when you point out someone has published a hit piece on a candidate.
“Did you know Rick Perry’s DAUGHTHER is married to a high ranking Muslim?”
Please check on that rumor of Sydney being married to Aga Khan’s son.
I don’t believe his daughter is even married.
Acccording to Perry’s official website, only his son his married...

No, but I do believe that "He" should directly address the allegations!
Rick ...... is that you? :O)
Prove it.
Loony birds
Lol !! Hilarious stuff !
