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.

Devendra lal, in India RSS BJP Hindu radicals have already killed all the good teachers who preached against statue worship. They all have been killed by Hindu Radicals including latest Mr Kalburgi vice chancellor of an university. He was also stamped by Hindu radicals as Muslim sympathisers. In olden days during the time of Jesus Christ even non Christian Jews did the same, they even appealed to Roman kings who ruled Israel to prosecute him. now you use guns but then they used crucification. Both were teachers & one was human & another was of god. Perhaps the killers knew very well that Mr kalburgi will not raise to life but Jesus Christ raised from death as he was born to a Virgin Mary. So I advice you to no to fall prey to non Christian Jews influence from Israel. They betrayed Jesus & also tried to influence Romans. But Romans realised Jesus later & became Roman Catholics. We have statues to remember them if a nuclear bombs fall, all the written papers get destroyed & only statues can help humans to rewrite history. Look at our statues no faces are cruel & all has love & there profession in expression. That itself is an evidence to prove that we are against statue worship. The movement our churches in India was attacked we knew that RSS BJP is trying to please some non Christians Jews at Israel. It’s political influence to take the bud of Defence tenders. Indians are much related to Romans way in all manner of life then non Christian Jews of Israel. Before Roman Catholics act they want to use RSS BJP energy to destroy them & voice if persons like me. If RSS BJP was good to all Indians in equal they could have not banned my Christmas by hijacking to there own day. What non Christians Jews in Israel did to Jesus is been repeated by Hindu Radicals. Both dying under Old Testament without love. my Muslims brothers leaving as copy cats for certen followers of olden days which is been copied amended version of old & New Testament. This was just to please followers of the writer at that time.
Amen back in the saddle and ride again charge Let’s Roll Now
