Fort Worth is a much more rednecked town (in a good way, IMHO) than Dallas---Dallas tries too hard to be "metro" and is very liberal---
OKAY? Now do you both understand where I am coming from?
I live in Arlington which is in the middle of both cities--and there are a few mosques here---one of the men convicted of the FIRST World Trade Center bombing actually lived here in ARlington before he went to New York---
BUT, I have never ever seen a woman in a burqa anywhere that I have shopped or frequented in any way--
My granddaughter has a couple of children in her class that are of middle eastern descent BUT their mothers don't wear burqas, so I am a little confused, FreeRadical about where you saw the people you talk about---
My whole reason for bringing this up is, that I think the redneck mindset that the Fort Worth area has is more indicated by the billboard I talked about, and the Dallas liberalism will be more open to the billboard mention on this thread---
I understand your point completely about redneck vs metro. I get it. I lived in the Metroplex many years. An irony, too, is how FW may outshine Dallas on the hi-tone stuff as well with the Kimball museum and the Bass stage. Anyway, I read you loud and clear on D vs FW comparison.
As for the Burkas, I saw them at a Nordstrom Rack store, a nearby shoe warehouse store and in a large mall in that area with Dillards, Ice Rink, Sports Warehouse, etc. I know I know, I'm just describing generica / suburbia, forgive me. I was vacationing, not doing the driving and totally not too worrried about my exact zip code that day. I think it was HEB area if any Metroplex area per se. I remember seeing so many burkas - not dozens, but more than a dozen - that I started comparing that amount to the cowboy hat sightings and I remember it was pretty much a draw. For every cowboy hat there was a burka in the crowds too.
"OKAY? Now do you both understand where I am coming from? "
Not really. An individual or group bought the use of the board to advertise. I suspect they did so where the traffic is highest? Could be, I suppose they think Dallas would by more sympathetic, or generate more interest?
Is that what you mean? Of course, both cities and all in between have ads for topless dancing, what does that mean? LOL
Don't feel neglected. They'll get there in due course.
Don't Mess With Dallas, Texas, lol.
We'll handle those islamic fundamentalistas.
