The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, raised an unprecedented $3.625 million Nov. 1 during its Treasures of the Islamic World Gala. The museum plans to create the first gallery of Islamic art in Texas.

Does this have the smell of rich captialists selling the rope for radical jihadists to hang us with?

Unfortunately, you will never see a Treasures of the Christian World Gala in a Muslim land. They are one-way cultural exchangists.

Too bad they wouldn't send some of the pre-Islam art treasures the radicals destroyed to other parts of the world.

This is the traditional garb worn by the soon to be extinct islamic militant. Liberals are fighting to save this dying breed, and may yet be successful.

These evil folks along with the mediaWHORES will be the death of a Christian America! Islam is the fastest growing despicable religion and are having babies at an alarming rate here on our soil. I see the Book of Revelations in the Holy Bible coming true faster than I would have ever imagined.

Will they have a special room for viewing the Daniel Pearl video?

Meanwhile, Islamofascists destroy the art and sites of other religions.

Sorry, I wouldn’t give the cost of a used tissue for all the Muslim treasures in the world.

I refuse to click Houston Comical links so didn't read the article but I wonder if the exhibit explained that some of the "treasures" were the booty allowed by satan allah while mohammed was slaughtering, raping, enslaving and destroying. Something tells me that it wasn't.

Sure fine, If they do this, I want back the library of Alexandria.And can they give us back Constantinople too?

Another picture featured Lynn Wyatt, the socialite wife of Oscar Wyatt.

Oscar, when last seen, was on trial for trading with the enemy, Saddam Hussein. I think he copped a plea.

If I were Ms. Wyatt, I don’t think I’d be hanging around an Islamic benefit gala while hubby is waiting for sentencing.

“Another picture featured Lynn Wyatt, the socialite wife of Oscar Wyatt.”

Very good catch, wildbill.
I’d heard of some Texas oilman getting caught in some dealing with
Saddam...but just didn’t know his name.

For the forum, here’s a link to the first story on Google News searched
