(REMAX) Fast Growing Muslim Population in Texas

There are now 3 million Muslims in America, heavily centered in New York, California and Texas. Our state has 175 Muslim mosques, mostly located in Dallas and Houston. The growth of mosques in the northern Dallas suburbs is significant, with several currently under construction. New mosques are located in Frisco, Plano, Carrollton and Irving. Not including the new mosques under construction, there are now at least 13 active mosques in the northern suburbs.

I’d give it a whirl if one was in my town. I like falafel and other mid-eastern foods.

I wish I could get a Jollibee in my neck of the woods, too. Got a hankering for pancit palabok.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Somerset County, PA is a hotspot for Muslims? Really??

[Born to Conserve]

Falafel is awful. Might as well eat greasy cardboard balls.

[sheana]

We have one here I call Club Med. Very expensive and always full of pretentious yuppies.

[elcid1970]

I mean, pita wraps, hummus, tahini, shish kebab, falafel, rice w/lamb & other ME foods are now mainstream both in Israel and here.

So much so that Jewish students have been harassed by the Muslim Students Association for consuming such foods that are “exclusively Arab & Muslim”, and been warned not to be seen doing so in public especially during Ramadan.

Isn’t diversity wonderful?

[Iscool]

A fast food bean joint...Can’t wait...

[dfwgator]

Bill O’Reilly will love it.

I have never been able to tolerate middle eastern food. Or Greek.

[Mears]

” Or Greek.”

Even spinach pie? I absolutely love it——and I’m sure Popeye would too.

[autumnraine]

Islamic (sharia compliant) bank bought Church’s Chicken and forced even franchises to not serve pork (bacon or sausage) on thier breakfast menu.

[nickcarraway]

Intolerance.

[autumnraine]

I love spinach but something in the spices. Plus the ONLY cheese I don’t like is feta.

[Bigg Red]

Well, I suppose we may as well eat the food that our new overlords want to feed to us.

[ErnBatavia]

Or a hundredth of these guys in Waikiki....

[Organic Panic]

I love Middle East food. I can’t wait to hit the falafel and kebab places when I get to Europe. If you think it sounds awful I suggest you try it. It is fast, cheap, and light.

[nickcarraway]

So much so that Jewish students have been harassed by the Muslim Students Association for consuming such foods that are “exclusively Arab & Muslim”, and been warned not to be seen doing so in public especially during Ramadan.

Do you have a citation for that? Outrageous.

[nickcarraway]

I love it. One place I went I praised the tabouleh to the owner, and she would always ask me after that which one of my parents was Syrian. She was sure at least one of them was, although not to my knowledge.

[Focault's Pendulum]

Yes, but the bacon has to be halal bacon. I think it’s carried at Costco, right next to the Kosher smoked hams. :=)

[elcid1970]

IIRC, it was on Robert Spencer’s website.

There have been incidents here and in Britain of Muslim college students or Muslim coworkers telling “infidels” around them not to eat while “they who believe” are observing the daytime Ramadan fast.

At one school where the MSA is powerful and the administration weak, Muslims warned Jews not to be seen eating pita, hummus, or falafel as these are proprietary Arab foods.

I couldn’t have made that up if I tried. These days, truth is stranger than fiction.
