Pound sand, y'all. That's my interpretation of how Houston Mayor John Whitmire handled a demand from the city's Mulsim community. Houston Muslim leaders issued a 24-hour deadline to the mayor in their demand that he call for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war. There was a Thursday 5:00 p.m. deadline for the mayor to call for a ceasefire and Mayor Whitmire did not meet that deadline. More than 40 Muslim Imams and organizations threatened to boycott the city's annual Ramadan dinner. And, they threatened to remove their support. They said if he did not meet their demand Whitmire would lose audiences, business partners, and also votes.

Threatening anyone is never a good idea and threatening a Texan is just plain dumb. BTW, why is the city having a Ramadan dinner? Would Saudi Arabia have a Christmas party for Christians?

...threatened to boycott the city's annual Ramadan dinner.
About as much sense as trying to catch a pallet of food parachuted from the sky.

The obvious question is why do these numbnuts think a city mayor has any influence over an international matter?

#3 it is to demonstrate their control. Pro Palestinian groups in NC have been going city to city demanding leaders to make an official call for a ceasefire. To your point, state and local governments have no role or authority in foreign affairs.

Wake up people. Muslims have no intention of assimilating. Their goal is domination and subjugation.

Isn't Houston the site of one of the free medical clinics that Barack Obama opened in Muslim enclaves? Anyone remember that?

Houston shouldn't be having a Ramadan dinner anyway. Strange that the Muslims have a dinner to celebrate fasting.

How about Americans demand Muslims get the hell out of our country?

Sounds like the Mayor has a free night to spend with his family.

They should protest the Palestinians, because they are the ones refusing the cease fire terms.

Well, that's it. They won't have dinner to support a bunch of murdering scum and the Mayor should really be terrified? These people came here knowing we are a Judo- Christian country and they are demanding we support these evil Hamas slugs?. They need to leave and go somewhere that will support their heinous behavior.

I demand that the Mayor calls for the Hamas/Palestinians to release the innocent hostages they are holding.

No need to remove the guillotines that are weeping due to inaction.

Goes to show how ignorant these Muslims are. Like the mayor has the power to tell another country leaders to have a cease fire. In any case, these Muslims got into this predicament by kidnapping Jewish children. In other words, they started the problem they find themselves in, and it is up to the Israelis to wipe them out like the criminals they are.

These stupid protesters think that Israel is going to listen to some Mayor, or even our dim witted president when their country is being threatened with extinction by muslims?? How stupid are they....the Sons of God have fought off invaders (muslims) for many years. God will not let them be spread across the world again...if we don't stand with Israel, we are basically not standing with God....maybe that is why we are being attacked.

Why do any of these mayors, governors or Hamas protesters think that Hamas or the Israeli's are going to listen to anything from a state or city in the U.S.? How inflated an ego does one have to have to even think any comment from some city official in the U.S. is going to make a difference.

Bullies is what they are.
Many politicians will give in to protesters just so they will shut up and go away.
This situation is made worse by the Leftist Lamestreams who ALWAYS side with Leftist protesters/bullies.
I applaud the Houston mayor for standing up against these BULLIES!
