Taxpayer-Funded Texas Waterpark Announces “MUSLIMS ONLY” Day
Will Require “Dress in Accordance with Islamic Values” and Serve Only Halal-Slaughtered Meat
A taxpayer-funded waterpark in a Texas city has sparked online fury after announcing they would openly discriminate against non-Muslims to celebrate an Islamic holiday.
As The Daily Mail reported, Epic Waters in Grand Prairie released fliers for a June 1 event celebrating a major Muslim holiday called Eid al-Adha. The event will require a “modest dress code” and solely serve Halal-slaughtered meat.
Epic Waters, which is funded by an additional sales tax on Grand Prairie residents, will essentially resemble a hard-core Islamist country rather than the great state of Texas.
More from the Daily Mail:
The waterpark’s website notes that men and women will not be separated during the event, but attendees are told to ‘uphold Islamic etiquette’ by ‘lowering the gaze’ throughout the day.
‘Please follow the event’s modest dress code, and practice ḥayāʾ (modesty) through respectful behavior,’ the event says.
All attendees are ‘expected to dress in accordance with Islamic values’, and the waterpark says all swimwear must meet Muslim guidelines.
Here is the flyer promoting the event. Note that it will also include a private prayer area:
