of the freedom from suffering that Buddhism teaches us is only possible if we remove the three

poisons of desire, hatred, and ignorance from our daily lives. We need not accept suffering

as unchangeable. We need not treat hatred as the natural state. We have the power to set ourselves

free. And I consider my own faith, Islam,

a religion built upon a narrative of migration. The story of the Hidreya reminds us that

Prophet Muhammad, Sadi Allah, a Salam, was a stranger too, who fled Mecca and was welcomed in

Medina. Sura Nakhil, 16 1642 tells us as for those who immigrated in the cause of a law after being persecuted we will surely bless them with a good home in this world or as the prophet muhammed s allah a

alexllum said islam began as something strange and will go back to being strange.

So glad tidings to the strangers.

If faith offers us the moral compass to stand alongside the stranger, government can provide the resources.

Let us create a new expectation of City Hall, where power is wielded to love, to embrace, and to protect.

We will stand with the stranger today.

Thank you.

Why in the hell you think they're in Houston and in north of Dallas?

They are working together to overthrow Western civilization. Sharia compounds, which are areas governed by religious rules.

We know who you are, we know what you are, and we know what you're trying to accomplish,

and it is not going to happen in the jewel of the crown of the union of this republic.

We purge any attempt to impose Sharia law in Texas.

They are not coming.

They are already here.

You are not here properly, and you're going to leave.

On the 3rd of March, Sharia law goes on the ballot in the state of Texas.
