A Muslim imam who was scheduled to say a prayer at a Texas rodeo today has canceled after online backlash to a similar blessing last week.
Imam Moujahed Bakhach of the Islamic Association of Tarrant County delivered the blessing at the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo on Jan. 25 as part of a program in which members of different faiths offer prayers before rodeo events.
Bakhach told the Dallas Morning News there was “a beautiful spirit” at the Will Rogers Coliseum when he delivered the blessing for the safety of the human performers, audience and cattle.
