Islamist incursions into East Plano, TX

Perhaps we look to the European harbingers to anticipate where this might lead.

The Muslim community is still giving us reasons to be concerned about their participation in American culture. A development in Texas has set off an alarm bell for several organizations in East Plano, and I don’t think they are over-reacting:

A proposed housing development anchored by a mosque in Josephine, Texas, has triggered a wave of political and public backlash, with Governor Greg Abbott and other state officials launching multiple investigations into the project. While backers of the development say it is meant to foster community among all faiths, the involvement of the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) has prompted accusations of religious separatism and even extremist intent — claims its leaders strongly deny, the New York Times reported.

The mosque in the community has assured Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton that their efforts are honorable, but they’ve set off a wave of apprehension. They plan on having faith-based schools (the degree to which Islam will be part of the curriculum is unclear), and although non-Muslims are supposedly welcome, they have made clear that they want a place for Muslims to come to be together. Those who are concerned are told that they are over-reacting, and EPIC leaders say that ignorance and bigotry underlay these attitudes. Here is the reaction of one leader of the EPIC mosque:

‘It should go without saying that our community, like any other in this great state, will follow all local, state and federal laws,’ the post read. ‘We would love for you to see the site and learn about our project over some Hutchins BBQ.’

Is this just some fringe group of isolationists? Not quite:

The EPIC City developments are in unincorporated areas of Josephine

****that their efforts are honorable,****

Like another Elohim City in Oklahoma, only worse. I see it as a future refuge for criminals who commit crimes in the D-FW area.

Feral hogs might be of some use after all if they move in.

Assimilation is key to America’s survival. If a group cannot assimilate, then buh bye!

Muslims do not assimilate - Islam first, everything else second

Taqiyya - it’s a lie. They believe in repressing every other faith, with a sword if necessary.


They believe in repressing everyone that is not them, which includes muslims of other sects, other clerics

If the 1st Amendment protects islam (it doesn’t) then our Bill of Rights is indeed a suicide pact.

Since muslims vote, and the first and last duty of every congressman and senator is to win reelection, the US will go the way of Europe and become a muslim hell hole.

When America falls to satanic islam, the world will enter a Dark Age from which it will not return.
