Comment on Farouk Shami Has New Hope For Texas

Longtime Texan — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 18:06:23 GMT

Who is Farouk Shami? The real issue is not necessarily his religion (where and how often he practices – or not) or national origin but his CREDIBILITY. Are his Public Statements factual or just Beauty Show hype?

Farouk in San Antonio (10/21/09): “I manage business in 106 countries, I have tens of thousands of employees, and we've brought billions of dollars to the state of Texas,” Shami said.

Fact Check:
• Farouk manufacturers the products and sells them to independent distributors/importers (in US and overseas), who in return sell to the salons. He DOES NOT manage these companies. They are his customers.
• Likewise the employees of these distributors or the salons which use his products are NOT Farouk’s employees.
• Farouk has always claimed that he sells only to the professional hairdressers, yet his products can be found in Wal-Mart, Costco, Target, HEB, as well as discount stores.

Yes, Farouk has done well for himself BUT… He is NOT the sole owner of his companies - Farouk claims (as well documented in many articles and interviews, and then repeated by the media) to be a Billionaire; however he is NOT listed on Forbes List of Billionaires – with his ego, he definitely would make sure that he would be listed if he just could prove it.

Farouk claimed to be Quaker?
Having attended Quaker School does not make Farouk a Quaker – maybe that is all what was available at the time (or even today) for quality education in Ramallah.
• Wikipedia: “The Friends School currently serves as the School for the best and the brightest. It is well known to educate the children of Palestinian elites.”
• MilitantIslamMonitor: “Guilford College controversy Being Manipulated By CAIR -Quaker school tied to pro terrorist Friends school in Ramallah”
• Farouk said that he is Quaker - his son told a reporter that Farouk is Muslim - Farouk then clarified that he is Muslim-Quaker
• King of Jordan had sent his personal message to Farouk Shami (to a Quaker?) during the last two company conferences – Amman, Jordan (2006) and Cancun, Mexico (2008)
• Farouk is a member of, guest speaker to, and honored by many Muslim organizations - He is a member of the Board of the American Task Force on Palestine, as was Tareq Salahi, the Whitehouse party crasher
• Shami : Muslim Media Network Sep 24, 2009 ... Houston hair executive Farouk Shami says his focus is .... At his Annual Ramadan Dinner (Quaker?) at the Arab Cultural Center (ACC) Houston, ...

Toni,
How can we get you to cover our event? You did an article on our daughter 2 years ago. She started this toy drive while in cancer treatment. She has since passed away from cancer and we have continued her efforts. Our next event is Sunday December 6th 2009 @ 4:00pm at the Cleopatra Banquet Hall 3355 Fm1960 & TC Jester
Please contact me at 713-890-2614
Thanks Dineta Frazier

This article states, "Jean has lived in [sic] for 22 years," falsely implying that Casagrande has lived in Klein ISD for 22 years, when in fact, according to KISD district candidate information, she has only been a KISD resident for THREE years. A BIG DIFFERENCE. http://www.kleinisd.net/default.aspx?name=board.candidate03
