DOJ launches investigation into Texas mosque over proposed Muslim community

(Worthy Insights) – The U.S. Department of Justice has opened an investigation into a proposed Muslim community development in North Texas, citing concerns over potential violations of federal law.

The investigation targets EPIC City, a 402-acre project backed by the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) in Josephine, Texas, about 40 miles northeast of Dallas. The planned development — which includes over 1,000 homes, a mosque, a K-12 faith-based school, clinics, retail shops, a community college and sports facilities — has sparked controversy among Texas Republican leaders.

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott, Attorney General Ken Paxton and conservative activists have claimed that the project aims to create a Muslim-only community governed by Islamic law, allegations which both EPIC officials and Islamic leaders have denounced. [ Source (Read More…) ]

  1. Please, please, please shut it down!! The Islamic leaders can denounce this all they want, but they lie. Got the same thing happening here in Hilliard, Ohio and the Islamists are using our laws against us to move forward with building an Islamic only community. Strange how this is popping up all over the country.
