Texas.... TEXAS??? Seriously WTF? Houston has 60 mosques? I just lost a little respect for Texas. Thank God there aren’t any mosques or ragheads in my county.

Houston Metro Statistical Area is the 4th largest in the USA. Soon to be the 3rd Largest as Chicago commits suicide. We have people from around the world, and hundreds of Multinational Corporations headquartered here. 60 mosques is a pretty small number considering the size of Houston. This is the largest port, and the Energy Capital. For it to be Mosque free we would have to take away the 1st Amendment, I am willing to have the Mosques, as long the Christian and Jewish faiths keep their houses of worship.

That being said, I wouldn’t mess with a Texas Pig Farmer. These folks are showing a lack of wisdom.

It's clear that you are unaware of Houston's status as an international city. As the worldwide headquarters for the oil and gas business, Houston has strong international trade ties with every producing nation on the planet. Some of those nations, you might be surprised to learn, are predominantly Muslim. When the employees or contractors from those Muslim nations arrive in Houston for work or trade, they usually don't become Methodists upon their arrival. Hence the mosques.

We here in Houston don't have a big problem with Islam or mosques, in and of themselves. The issue comes about when an Islamic group acquires a tract of land, then proceeds to tell their new neighbors how they should behave. That ain't very Texan.
