I know about the large Middle Eastern population in Dearborn, but can someone tell me what is supposed to be up with Frankford, Texas?

Another blogger actually made this comment about this weird reference:

And Frankford, Texas? Well, here's the thing. If you Google up Frankford Sharia, all you get is references to Angle's quote. If you eliminate Angle's quote, you get nothing except a few stray references to Angle's quote that don't use her name or the exact wording. And while you're doing all this, you actually find some locals saying that there IS NO FRANKFORD, TEXAS. It's either a ghost town or a suburb of Dallas. The point being, I can't find a single wingnut passing along a forwarded e-mail that says the scary Muslims have taken over a town in Texas.
Apparently Frankford, Texas was annexed over 35 years ago by Dallas--it doesn't even exist anymore.

Fear-mongering.

Straight-out fear mongering.

People SHOULD be able to resolve issues outside the court systems. Our court systems are over-burdened as it is, and if the people in dispute want to work out their problem by referring to their religious beliefs, it is solely the business of the people involved in the dispute. Just like if a wife and a husband want to try to work out their problems with a marriage counselor.

As for the coach, maybe if the coach had done his job, he'd still have it. As an employee for the school, he shouldn't have allowed his assistant coach to try to convert students to a different religion. He tolerated it because it wasn't done in his presence. But he was aware of it. Since he knew of it, he should have put a stop to it. He didn't, and he lost his job.

Ahh, the liberals trying to distract people from thinking about what a piece of sh## Dingy Harry Reid is. Anything to keep them from spending time thinking about him and what a loser he is.

Lets not forget Dingy Harry proclaiming to America that the war in Iraq was lost. Waving the white flag for our military for political gain. Its time to run that treasonous bastard out of DC. Oh, BTW, didn't his buddy with a perfect negro dialect recently stand up and talk about our success in Iraq?

Show Harry Reid the door Nevada.

Look at his post. He meant just that. His for example thing?? It was obvious he was trying to compare the Sesame Street thing with Katy Perry to Islamic values. Kind of an insane comparison, especially considering it was the uber conservative Christian group the PTC that led the fight to get it pulled.

Texas allows a mutual agreement in Sharia and settlement of disputes from those mutual agreements, providing there is NO conflict with Texas law.
Quote:
Frankford was nine miles northwest of Richardson in extreme southwestern Collin County. Settlement of the area began around a campsite on the Shawnee Trail near a small spring on Halls Branch, used in the 1850s and 1860s as a stopping point and watering hole for traildrivers and other travelers.

The city of Dallas annexed the area in 1975, and in 1990 local children attended the Plano schools.

Okay sure, but what's the specific deal with Frankford, Texas. Why did she single out a fairly unknown suburban neighrborhood of Dallas? I've never heard any specific controversy involving Muslims and that location--and I can't find any evidence of any through a GoogleSearch. Is this a mistake and she meant to refer to somewhere else?
