Rick Perry (right background) stand at attention during a ceremony welcoming the spiritual leader of 20 million Ismaili Muslims worldwide to Texas on the first day of an eight-day visit highlighted by the announcement of a nearly $1 billion (Û630 million) initiative to establish residential schools in 14 countries in Africa, the Middle East, Central and South Asia . The visit was the latest in a series of trips by the Aga Khan to mark his 50th anniversary, or Golden Jubilee, as imam of the Shia Ismaili Muslim community. Tens of thousands of Ismaili Muslims live in Texas.
