Texas has halted construction of a radical Islamic enclave after overwhelming public opposition. Governor Greg Abbott slammed the brakes on the EPIC City project, calling it a dangerous attempt to impose Sharia law through neighborhood design. State investigators found the developers violated multiple permitting laws while pushing their vision of an Islam-first community.
The proposed “city within a city” planned to center Muslim religious practices in daily life through mosque-school complexes and Sharia-compliant public spaces. Promotional materials bragged about making Islam “the forefront” of community life, sparking fears of religious exclusion. Texans rejected this segregationist vision, flooding officials with complaints about constitutional violations.
Governor Abbott deployed twelve state agencies to investigate the developers’ shady practices. Rangers uncovered illegal construction starts while housing regulators found evidence of discrimination against non-Muslims. Environmental watchdogs caught the group bypassing required permits – proving they think rules don’t apply to them.
This isn’t about religious freedom – it’s about radical activists exploiting tolerance to undermine American values. While Muslims have every right to worship, creating exclusionary zones that sidelined other faiths crosses the line. Texans won’t let foreign ideologies carve up their neighborhoods through stealthy land grabs.
The Biden Justice Department foolishly defended this project, showing how out-of-touch coastal elites are with Middle America. Thankfully, Texas leaders stood strong against federal overreach. Senator John Cornyn demanded accountability, exposing how the developers’ actions threatened Christians and Jews in the area.
Residents erupted in cheers when the shutdown was announced at a fiery town hall meeting. “We don’t want Taliban-style compounds here!” shouted one father of three. Others praised Abbott for protecting their kids from creeping Islamization in schools and public spaces.
This victory proves common-sense conservatives can stop the woke agenda. While leftists push divisive identity politics, real Americans want united communities – not religious enclaves. Texas showed the nation how to fight back against cultural conquests disguised as “inclusivity.”
The heartland strikes another blow for freedom. By enforcing existing laws and listening to voters, Texas crushed this attempt to create parallel societies ruled by anti-American ideologies. Let this be a warning to anyone trying to replace our Constitution with foreign legal systems.
