Ismailis are quite simply the descendents of the arch-heretic sect of the Assassins. They have calmed since the Crusades. They are a branch of shiism and if my memory is any good, they don't turn toward Mecca for prying and dont pry 5 times a day. I also think their women have a liberty unheard in Islam and they aren't against alcohol.

They are headed by the Agha Khan, a millionaire who is a prominent figure in horse races.

#7  About 17 percent of Plano residents are foreign-born, and roughly 30 percent identify themselves as a racial or ethnic minority, according to the 2000 census. Area Ismailis hail largely from East Africa, India, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
I don't know much about Ismailis but they must have heck of a lot of funding to afford a complex worth $6.5 Million, and this is not the first such structure. Also I had no idea that Plano, TX had such a high influx of foreign born residents (outside Hispanics,of course.
