Texas Gov. Greg Abbott Sounds Alarm on Planned Islamic ‘Mega-City’ Near Dallas — Warns of ‘Potential Criminal Activities’
Texas Governor Greg Abbott is launching a campaign against a planned Islamic “mega-city” outside Dallas.
The East Plano Islamic Center, via its affiliate Community Capitol Partners, is seeking to construct a 1,000-home settlement around 40 minutes from Dallas.
The so-called “Sharia City” would come complete with a mosque, Muslim schools, community college, and sporting facilities while serving as a reminder of Islam’s growing influence across America and the Western world.
However, Community Capital Partners claim they just want to build a place “in which people of every background, faith, and culture can live together in harmony.”
“The vision for EPIC City is simple. We want to build a master-planned, inclusive, family-oriented community that benefits the people who live and work there, and the surrounding area,” said Imran Chaudhary, president of Community Capital Partners.
On Monday, Abbott’s office announced that he had “directed the Texas Rangers to open an investigation” into the East Plano Islamic Center and affiliated entities over “potential criminal activities.”
“The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality found that the group behind the proposed EPIC compound did not submit the required permits to begin construction,” Abbott explained.
