Fury at 'self-segregated' Islamic 'mega city' in tiny Texas town for 1,000 new Muslim homes... as chilling medieval practices emerge
|
| Make them obey federal and state laws: no discrimination against non-Moslem buyers, and Sharia law cannot supercede American laws — especially with regard to illegal aliens and residents/mosques/town council supporting jihadi organizations. |
[Daily Mail, where America get its news] Opponents of a proposed Muslim city in Texas flooded a public meeting Monday in hopes of stopping a controversial Islamic compound from getting necessary permits to begin construction.
For hours, the Collin County Commissioners Court heard dozens of speakers pleading with them to deny the East Plano Islamic Center or EPIC, permits needed to build a city for Muslims that's meant to be 'the epicenter of Islam in America' by organizers.
EPIC, a sprawling house of worship located in Plano, Texas- just north of Dallas- has recently become a target for Gov. Greg Abbott who has accused the mosque of breaking the law, despite no arrests or charges being made public.
Gov. Abbott has expressed his fears the city will introduce extremist sharia law practices to Texas, which would govern religion, marriage and punishment for crime.
In early 2024, EPIC announced what it called a 'historic project,' EPIC City, a community centered in Islam after buying 402 acres of land just outside of Josephine, Texas.
EPIC City, with a brand new mosque serving as the town center, will feature 1,000 new homes, a schools and even a shopping center.
Many residents of the 2,000-person town of Josephine voiced their concerns, although the Islamic development is outside the city limits.
'They want to install a loud system, a speaker system, that would blast their music to call them to prayer, and they could do it as long as they wanted to because they specifically choose a site just outside the city so they can do that,' Susan Martinez told the commission.
She also shared that her small, rural community is already dealing with water restrictions, even without any new construction.
However, others had concerns there are more sinister intentions behind the construction.
'These are self-segregated communities, and they require...when you buy a lot or build a home, you have to pay into the mosque and you have to build into the Islamic schools,' another local said.
In two hours of public comment, with each speaker getting two minutes, only two men spoke in favor of the EPIC City being granted permits.
Additional speakers waited in an overflow room, as public comment was expected to last late into the evening.
Although the Collin County Commission didn't make a decision Monday, the public comment they heard will be taken into consideration when they make a permitting decision next month.
Additionally, the project may already be dead in the water, as Gov. Abbott issued his own order halting construction Tuesday.
'Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) found that the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) and affiliated entities have not obtained the required authorizations or permits needed for construction and development of the proposed project,' Abbott's office announced via press release.
'TCEQ sent a letter to EPIC and affiliated entities to notify them that any construction would be in violation of state law and ordered them to confirm that they have not engaged in any construction activities.'
The Republican governor has accused the Islamic center of practicing sharia law, an extreme form of the religion, and of violating state law, ordering a criminal investigating into the mosque Monday.
Even if Abbott is successful in stopping the new development, EPIC already has a big footprint in Plano.
The huge mosque is surrounded by schools and a gym.
Across the street, there is also an business called 'EPIC Market' and halal shops catering to the Muslims that live in the streets around the mosque.
Needs a liquor store
The large, two story luxury homes with expensive cars in the drive ways were all decorated for Ramadan, with Christmas lights used to celebrate the holy month of fasting.
In what could be a key vote for EPIC City's future, Collin County Commissioners will decide whether to approve a permit on April 14.
