This info has been bantered about for some time now and proven ridiculous.http://frontpagemag.com/2011/08/17/5-myths-about-rick-perry/
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.

Myth #4: Perry is soft on Islam.
Salon.com recently reported that Perry was a “pro-Shariah” candidate, a charge that obviously got heavy traction among conservatives – and with good reason. It’s a serious charge. It’s also dramatically false, as columnist David Stein points out. Perry’s relationship is with a Muslim leader called the Aga Khan, who leads a sect called the Ismailis, which has 15-20 million followers. Aga Khan has been labeled an infidel by both Sunnis and Shias for his support for Israel. Perry worked with Aga Khan to implement an educational element in the Texas curriculum about Islam. Here are some of the elements of that educational program: “Muslims often lack respect for Western traditions and points of view … From its early days, Islam reacted aggressively toward its civilized neighbors the Byzantines and the West …While Westerns studied Islamic culture, Muslims showed almost no interest in Western culture, remaining ignorant of modernity and its impact.” The program also calls Israel “the historic homeland of Jews” and gives details about how Arab states refused to admit Palestinian refugees after 1948. There’s a reason Perry has won the Defender of Jerusalem award from the State of Israel, and it’s not just because Texas is Israel’s fourth largest trading partner.
