Texas—the symbol of American grit, freedom, and no-nonsense independence—is now facing a threat not with tanks, not with terrorist flags, but with a soft, sophisticated invasion. Not with bombs, but with blueprints. Welcome to EPIC City, the East Plano Islamic Center’s $100 million project to build what they call a “meticulously designed community that brings Islam to the forefront.” Not American values. Not constitutional order. Islam.
This isn’t just a housing development. This is a 402-acre ideological fortress in the making. A Sharia-centric complex boasting 1,000 homes, a 3,200-capacity mosque, Islamic schools, clinics, and senior living, all revolving around the teachings of one of the most radical Islamic preachers in North America: Dr. Yasir Qadhi.
The promotional video released by EPIC and their developer (posted publicly on Instagram here) features Quranic recitation, Islamic nasheeds, and the explicit goal of forming a “self-governed Islamic community.” Their own language betrays the mission: not coexistence—domination. What they are constructing is not a neighborhood; it is a parallel society, a city-within-a-city ruled not by Texas law, but by Islamic jurisprudence. A soft caliphate, planted in plain sight.
This is not speculation. This is strategic subversion.
The East Plano Islamic Center’s own scholar-in-residence, Yasir Qadhi, is no moderate. He’s not even quietly radical. He is openly hostile to democracy, pluralism, and Western civilization as we know it. Qadhi has stated, verbatim, that:
“No Supreme Court, no system of government, no democracy where they vote… What gives you the right to prohibit something or allow something?”
(Yasir Qadhi, public lecture—archived and transcribed by MEMRI and various Islamic watchdogs)
This is not a fringe interpretation. Qadhi is telling you plainly: democracy is illegitimate. In his own words:
“To believe that it is permissible to follow a system of laws other than the Sharia negates one’s testimony of Islam.”
(Yasir Qadhi, [IlmSummit 2008], widely cited in scholarly critiques of political Islam)
According to Qadhi’s ideology, any Muslim who believes in constitutional law, religious tolerance, or separation of church and state has rejected Islam and is to be considered an apostate. And what happens to apostates under Sharia? Qadhi doesn’t shy away:
“Yes, under the Islamic law, apostasy is a crime punishable by death. That is the consensus of the scholars.”
(Yasir Qadhi, Islamic Awareness Conference, 2009)
This is not religion. This is totalitarian theocracy.
Qadhi’s record includes:
- Referring to Christians as “filthy polytheists” whose lives “hold no value” in jihad. (Islamic seminar, 2006)
- Justifying the killing of homosexuals and apostates under Islamic law. (Islamic Center of Tennessee, recorded lectures)
- Fundraising for Aafia Siddiqui, the al-Qaeda-linked terrorist convicted of attempting to kill U.S. soldiers. (2008 fundraising dinner, documented by IPT)
- Denying the Holocaust, only to later “clarify” under pressure. (2001 online post, now deleted, archived by critics)
- Praising the Taliban and calling for a jihad-aligned worldview to be nurtured among American Muslims.
This is the man leading EPIC. This is the ideology shaping this “city.” This is the same Qadhi who has appeared on stage with known Muslim Brotherhood sympathizers and has long been connected to Yaqeen Institute, a propaganda engine disguising Islamism as civil rights activism.
Let’s be absolutely clear: this is not about “freedom of religion.” No religion has the right to erect a self-governed compound designed around the rejection of the U.S. Constitution. Qadhi’s own sermons claim that Sharia is above man-made law, and that those who do not submit to it—Muslims and non-Muslims alike—are in opposition to Allah. This isn’t worship. It’s warfare in slow motion.
And they’re expanding. Land grabs tied to Islamic groups are already popping up across Texas—in Sachse, Aubrey, Blue Ridge—and even in cases where megachurches are being converted into ideological outposts. These are not isolated incidents. These are footholds.
Thankfully, not everyone is asleep. Governor Greg Abbott has stated unequivocally, “Sharia law is not allowed in Texas. Nor are Sharia cities.” State agencies are already investigating EPIC’s permits, including violations for illegal funeral operations and unapproved construction. Attorney General Ken Paxton has leveled consumer protection charges, while the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has issued cease-and-desist orders.
And now, HR 971 is making its way through the Texas legislature — a resolution that would declare CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, unwelcome at the Texas Capitol. This is a group tied by the Department of Justice to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood — and yet they continue to infiltrate schools, law enforcement training programs, and government hearings under the guise of “civil rights.”
Meanwhile, brave patriots like Bill Gawthrop and Lauren Morris are briefing legislators behind the scenes, educating them on the true nature of Islam as a political doctrine—not merely a faith. They’ve distributed material from Steve Kirby, the late Sam Solomon, and other experts on Islamic jurisprudence and Western incompatibility. The tide is turning—but it’s moving slowly.
A Christian friend who fled the Islamic world and now lives in Texas, Zaid, said it best in a letter to the Governor’s office:
“As a Texan who experienced the impact of Islamic Shariah law in the Middle East and has found a safe and free home in Texas, I disagree with forming communities based solely on religion. Exclusive enclaves hinder assimilation and threaten the values that make Texas free.”
He’s right. And unless we speak louder than the imams, the silence will be our surrender.
This isn’t just about EPIC. It’s not even just about Texas. What is being constructed is a framework for Islamic political expansion inside the West, using our own tolerance as the gateway to eventual submission. It’s already happening in France, Germany, Sweden, and the UK. America is simply next in line. And if Texas falls—the last bastion of American resistance—where will we retreat to then?
This is not a drill. This is not a zoning dispute. This is the test of whether the West has the will to survive.
We’re not watching a neighborhood rise.
We’re watching a civilization kneel — unless we stop it.
“ This is not religion. This is totalitarian theocracy.”
Every religion when practiced seriously and comprehensively leads to a totalitarian theocracy.
Marxism comes from religion. Marxism is religion dressed up as secular science.
Is religion more dangerous than socialism?
“I believe that the medievals understood much better than the moderns on what basis to build a totalitarian society that would last and not collapse in less than a century. They did it and the people in the rising religious movement today know that full well. They’re the ones who have millions, upon millions, upon millions, of followers and a real insight into the fact that economics is not the crucial factor, but philosophy and culture are…. Religion has been the root of [totalitarianism] from the beginning, it has ruled in disguised forms, and still is, and now the disguise had to be stripped off… What socialism is doing is really helping religion, the bigger the statism, the more people grow accustomed to government rule over everything, the more people are ready for religionists to take over the lead from the more secular side… The socialists are building the basis for totalitarianism but only the religionists are going to cash in on it and take over.” – Leonard Peikoff
Well T, you still don’t get it do you? Marxism comes from religion? Really?
You are about to realize your worst nightmare. It’s not marxism that’s coming. We pretty much had that under Obama and Biden. It’s sharia law. A Muslim theocracy. And it’s beginning in Texas
So what are you going to do? Sit around and complain like you always do? Hold up a copy of Atlas Shrugged? Post your little Lenny Piehole Missives?
Say bye bye to Objectivism. If you are lucky the Muj will throw you in a hole to rot. At worst they will behead you because you just don’t know when to shut up. And I will snicker politely as I load my AR mags and get ready.
Up until now it’s all been a theoretical game for you, your Objectivist friends and your moribund philosophy. It’s about to get very real. And no one is coming to save your s0rry a$$.
So what are you going to do, smart guy?
North Korea is a communist, totalitarian nation. No G-d, just the total worship of their leader at the expense of the people for whom suffering, regular starvation, punishments and death rule each day.
These people in North Korea cannot choose anything.
You chose Objectivism. Each philosophy as practiced can become, depending upon the behavior of those adhering to the established principles, a tyranny of obedience like anything else.
When one is not allowed to think for oneself, having the limits of thought dictated by those principles, or the terror of death, then one begins to self-sacrifice freedom for life. Human beings are social and given the length of human maturation from birth to adulthood being isolated necessarily confers greater vulnerability for the safety and development of our young. without some degree of collective inclusion–also known as conformity–and as such is part of forming and maintaining functional societies. To always equate the results of choices with religion is to eliminate the varied landscape from which individuals create meaning in their lives. In doing so, you are the one reducing individual intelligence and choices by blaming religion.
Yet the most murderous despots were Stalin, Lenin, Pol Pot, and Mao Zedong; they were all atheists seeking to dictate all thoughts and behaviors over whom they held the power of life and death as is now done in North Korea.
While you profess freedom, you seem to denigrate the reality of choice made by others. Tyranny does not need religion to exist, it exists in the hearts of those who demand the worship of others. You assert that belief in G-d is the source of such dictates. No, it is both man’s limited understanding of G-d and man’s desires to make himself like a god that is repeatedly demonstrated in totalitarian dictates. It is the heart of man who chooses good or evil and it is mankind who then conveniently blames G-d for the choices we make and the evil introduced into the world; such is the moral cowardice of men seeking comfort in their
depravity.
What a tempting Target for our ANGER❗
There can be no further 9/11s without having a city of thousands right here in America to 💥 blow to smithereens❗
Bring It On❗
Where’s j Reno when you need her? Joking but this cannot stand. Sad
“Welcome to a community in Texas – where the Constitution is not welcome.”
Meh – This also known as every city and state run by Democrats
Thank you, Aynaz Anni Cyrus
Now the US is in position to disclose this dark ideology.
Can you please inform Trump´s faith minister Paula White?
Then maybe you/she/her office can bring on some real information about what is going on.
This “religion” is so dark. So evil. So devastating. So anti-human. Deadly expansionist.
Smiles on the face while hate in the heart.
And they believe they have the truth, to be imposed on everybody.
Well, you know this so well personally.
Anybody can also just take a look at Europe. All our countries (except in the eastern parts) are in
terrible condition because of Eu, political correct leaders and mass immigration of muslims.
Leaders and immigrants use the Human rights against white people, to support the others.
It´s dark here. Really dark. Spiritually, relationally, financially.
Rape and knife attacks skyrocketing. Just in some decades.
The only good thing is that darkness may make people search for truth.
God bless you, take care, and all the best!
The Muslims are swarming all over Texas, mosques everywhere
The little Chita Ross the street from me, which had heavy attendance, sold out in the middle of the night to Islam…
They wanted a bigger church and didn’t care who they sold to
Pretty disgusting
why are these imams not deported?
We need to just go in and start smashing the place up, and fight back if the crooked pigs try to stop us. Dismantle this attempt at population jihad, destroy the mosques, burn the Qurans.
Assorted social, political, and religious cancers will continue to metastasize across America. That’s what happens when the spiritual vacuum goes unfilled by the truth of the Judaeo Christian ethic and the spiritual life growing from repentance toward Christ and a live faith in His presence.
The collapse of our family structure across America is the basic symptom whereof I speak.
I had no idea how much I was being delivered from when 55 years ago I turned to the Lord via a difficult adult conversion. Now at 80 years old, I rejoice in His salvation.
I will donate mossad-issued pagers.
We have military drones for good reason…and a stealth removal of EPIC Is good reason enough for it’s use
I’m sure many other locations can be identified and similarly resolved.
They are a self-declared enemy of the declarative documents of our country…reason enough.
