Greg Abbott Gives Update on Muslim 'City' Project in Texas

How do you compare a gated community to EPIC? I don't get it.
We visited quite a few back in the day and no one asked us about our religious preference, skin color being obvious.
I think you are comparing apples to oranges.

Having said that, I am not quite sure what to make of EPIC.
 

Much ado about nothing. Only right-wingers are going to get their underwear in a wad over this.

Mess in the making, the concept of a "Sharia city" in any context right in the heart of White Christian Nationalism Texas. What could possibly go wrong?

Europe deals with the fallout of marginalizing their Muslim immigrant population, fallout that too often includes unemployment, religious/political radicalization, and hostility toward the host countries.

America should not encourage that.

Redlining and racial/religious discrimination in housing are illegal.

Can't have communities that are Muslim though, oh no!!

This, but unironically. But according to the article, it isn't going to be a "Muslim community"...they claim there will be no discrimination or sharia law or cultish isolationism. If that's the case, it sounds like plenty of other communities and there's no problem. If that's not the case, then it's a problem and they don't get a pass on civil rights violations just because they're Muslim.

Tell THAT to the Mormon towns and counties.

Yet Abbott and Co. are already predicting Sharia Law.

Lol. That was a mistake announcing in advance. Leftists generally are hostile to communities like that. Why the exception for Islam?

Yeah. If Black folks on the Carolina coast do it, it's charming. If White folks in Northern Idaho do it, it's a threat to the nation.
 
My mom tried searching for no go zones, she couldnt find any.
 
Of course Shariah law is kinda a redundancy, its just the Shariah.
