Houston suburb opposes plans for mosque; neighbour threatens to hold pig races

<SNIP>

The reaction has not been all negative. Fotouh said one man came to the mosque on a Friday afternoon and apologized for his neighbours. "He moved me, really," Fotouh said. "The sense of fairness, the sense of standing by the underdog."

3. Probably lots of excellent folks there!

Too bad it's generally the assholes from Texas that get the spotlight. My heart goes out to the many good folks who have to endure the assholes in their state.

Julie, in Michigan where we've got no shortage of assholes either

4. well golly, we're not all dicks...

aren't you just shocked? someone from Houston could care about someone else? it boggles the fuckin' mind, doesn't it.

5. Of course we all know this!

Sadly the Texas sized assholes tend to overshadow all the great folks in your state so it's easy to forget the great far outnumber the wretched in beautiful Texas.

To all the great Texans out there, and a special shout out to any Displaced Texans (one of which is among us on DU)! :toast: :toast: :toast:
