Many cowboys and cowgirls left the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo earlier this year left outraged because the opening prayer was carried out by Imam Mouthed Bakhach.
For some reason, organizers felt it would be a good idea to diversify who delivered the prayer, and for most including a Muslim was going to far.
So who’s the genius that thought this would be a good idea? Tensions in Texas have certainly been heating up between Muslims and ‘infidels’ as evidenced by mounting protests.
“I just will choose NOT to go somewhere that embraces a religion that wants me, my family and my people DEAD,” one individual wrote on the rodeo’s Facebook page, according to the Star Telegram.
“Muslim/Islam has no place in this country let alone fwssr. Not one Muslim has come out against the radical actions that is the Muslim belief. PERIOD. COWBOYS DON’T WANT IT,” another reportedly commented.
“This really disappoints me in the FWSSR! Sad to see such a Texas & American institution fall in the gutter of political correctness,” yet one more person echoed.
As noted by The Dallas Morning News, outrage did not appear directed at Bakhach’s comments, but simply at the inclusion of someone who belonged to the Muslim faith.
Nevertheless, according to the Star Telegram, Bakhach said he sensed a “beautiful spirit” at the venue Sunday and thought the prayer went well.
“I didn’t hear any negative reaction to what I said,” he told the Star-Telegram. “I sat down to watch the show.”
“I didn’t hear any negative reaction to what I said.”
Share:The president and general manager of the rodeo, Brad Barnes, said he found the Muslim Imam’s comments to be “spot-on” and “very appropriate.”
Others also defended him on Facebook.
“Kudos to FWSSR for leading the way and understanding that America is a country of immigrants. Thanks for showing love and not hatred by showing tolerance for all religions; as Freedom of Religion applies to every American, even if they don’t look like you or believe what you believe,” one person wrote.
“The ignorance here,” another echoed. “You all should be ashamed of yourselves.”
The Stock Show will continue through mid-February.
Did anyone leave ???
Is this still AMERICA ??? Is Everyone Sleeping ???
OK BRING THE HATE CUZ I DoNT CARE. MUSLIMS DO NOT BELONG IN OUR COUNTRY OR THE WORLD FOR THAT MATTER, its time to do away with this cult of EVIL.
Steven NO this is not America, it is being overcome with NON AMERICANS with no sense of what AMERICA means. too many people think FREEDOM means FREEDOM TO BE STUPID AND SAY AND DO WHAT EVER YOU WANT no matter the out come. they believe FREEDOM only applies to them and their HATE AND VIOLENCE. YOu can than on the left wing nut jobs for that.
THEY ALL SHOULD OF WALKED OUT
Need to include a bunch of Hogs in the Grand Parade to start the rodeo and have then lines around the arena along with horses and riders prior to the prayer and national anthem
Murca!!! Silly bubbas.
And liberals are all bent out of shape about a CHRIS Kyle day?
It all starts out very innocent until they are populating the area then the intolerance evolves into you sacrificing your rights because it is unfair to be prejudiced against their religion. Except it is not a religion, it is there law Sheria that will cut off your head once you allow them to infiltrate your community.
