The Mayor of Houston, Annise Parker, has said that, “Houston was a city harboring hardworking individuals and that the exemplary harmony amongst the people belonging to different religions and cultures distinguished it from other cities of the USA.”
She urged the people having varied faiths to come forth and find means to solve the disputes so that innocent lives could be saved.
She was speaking at the annual dinner reception hosted jointly at the City Center by Abu Dhabi/Baku/Istanbul and Karachi sister city associations in collaboration with Islamic Society of Greater Houston.
