Patrons attending a Fort Worth rodeo over the weekend are outraged by the individual organizers chose to deliver the opening prayer who happens to be a muslim, Imam Mouthed Bakhach.
According to the Star-Telegram, this year organizers chose to select a more diverse group of faith leaders to offer prayers before events at the Fort Worth Stock Show.
But, for many, the inclusion of a Muslim Imam was a step far too far.
“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.
