[GEO.TV] The annual iftar dinner in Houston
 ...a city in Texas, named after Sam Houston, who would drop deader than he is now if he could see how it turned out...
, the fourth-largest city in the United States, was held with great enthusiasm, marking the largest gathering of its kind in the country.
The event took place at the Bayou City Event Centre, organised in collaboration with the Mayor of Houston and Sister Cities Associations, attracting more than 2,500 attendees from diverse backgrounds and professions.
Houston Mayor John Whitmire was the chief guest at the iftar dinner. Other distinguished guests included Congressman Al Green, prominent American businessman Javed Anwar, business tycoon Tanweer Ahmed, diplomats from various countries, senior government officials, and community leaders.
The coordinator of the iftar dinner, Saeed Sheikh, highlighted the significance of the event in promoting interfaith harmony, emphasising how gatherings like these bring people of different faiths and cultures together to share the blessings of iftar.
The event commenced with the recitation of the Holy Koran, followed by a video message from Texas Governor Greg Abbott
... governor of Texas. Abbott is a Republican. His 2014 Dem opponent, state senatrix Wendy Davis, thought the absolute, most pressing, most important issue facing the state was abortion. Abbott beat the pantyhose off her. His 2018 opponent, Lupe Valdez didn't dwell too heavily on abortion, but she lost too...
, which was displayed on the big screen.
In his message, the governor extended Ramadan greetings to American Moslems and appreciated the initiative for fostering religious harmony.
