Hay Moros en el CostCo

Now that illegal Hispanic immigrants appear to have replaced Muslims as the ethnic boogeyman du jour, it's kinda funny to notice how often I run across evidence of Muslim immigration here in Dallas. Granted, Dallas is still a long way from having a Muslim population as large as the one in my hometown of Detroit. But I've seen too many women wearing traditional Muslim dress to pretend that the Muslim population is all that small. And it's even more amusing to notice the increasing number of hookah bars.

And all this in Texas, mind you. Dallas, Texas.

Of course, we're still a long way from having an Arab-American community as large as the one in my native Detroit (which, by the way, just happens to have the largest Arab-American population in the country). But we're getting there.
