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

They should just name it “No Go Zone”.
This just doesn’t sound like something that Christian Americans would want to be involved in except to be sure what their true motives are. Once they get in there, it might be tough to get them out.
BTTT
Assimilation is key to America’s survival. If a group cannot assimilate, then buh bye!
Is Abbot likely to do anything proactive about this, or just look at how much new (Muslim) money is about to be invested into that Texas community. This focus on the fiscal benefit would be typical of most politicians.
“backers of the development say it is meant to foster community among all faiths”
Taqiyya - it’s a lie. They believe in repressing every other faith, with a sword if necessary.
Was just in that area a few weeks ago, was a bit shocking, it seemed like Arabs and Indians are 80% of the local population..
Concentrate your enemy in one place and then hit them with artillery.
How about NO.
What religion, in 2025 has extremism, separatism, antisemitism, violence and a doctrine of domination of others? They don’t have tolerance of Christians and Jews. They want to follow their own special laws, police, and judicial practices.
Yeah, I know not all practicing that religion follow that pattern. But build a special community for them and radicalism (inspired from within or outside of the area) will take root. This should not be allowed.
The Muslim do not want to accept our caulure, they demand we accept and absorb theirs. The only real choices we have are to comply or deport.
Islam is a war plan. Period.
NO country should allow in anyone who believes in conquest.
They will follow our laws until they no longer need to.
Imagine if in WWII Germany didn’t send armed soldiers, just “immigrants” from their army until they had enough soldiers in country. Then ran them for office, got elected, and took over. Same plan as islam.
(I know this is somewhat dated information but the plan is still the same.)
How Islam progressively takes over countries By Mark Ellis
In Dr. Peter Hammonds book, Slavery, Terrorism and Islam, he documents the way Muslims slowly develop a presence in various countries and as their population numbers build, become more aggressive and assertive about exercising Sharia law.
Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life, Dr. Hammond notes in his book. Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other components.
Their takeover of a country, what Dr. Hammond refers to as Islamization, begins when the population of Muslims reaches a critical mass, and they being to agitate for various privileges.
Open, free, democratic societies are particularly vulnerable. When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well, he notes.
This is how it works, according to Dr. Hammond:
When the Muslim population remains under 2% in a country, they will be seen primarily as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to other citizens. This is the current situation in:
United States Muslim 0.6% Australia Muslim 1.5% Canada Muslim 1.9% China Muslim 1.8% Italy Muslim 1.5% Norway Muslim 1.8%
As the Muslim population reaches 2% to 5%, they begin to recruit from ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, within prisons and street gangs. This is happening in:
Denmark Muslim 2% Germany Muslim 3.7% United Kingdom Muslim 2.7% Spain Muslim 4% Thailand Muslim 4.6%
From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population, Dr. Hammond notes. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food and increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature such food on their shelves along with threats for failure to comply. This is happening in:
France Muslim 8% Philippines 5% Sweden Muslim 5% Switzerland Muslim 4.3% The Netherlands Muslim 5.5% Trinidad & Tobago Muslim 5.8%
Soon they begin to apply pressure to allow Sharia law within their own communities (sometimes ghettos).
When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions, Dr. Hammond notes. In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam, with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. These tensions are seen on a regular basis in: Guyana Muslim 10% Riots in Pakistan, 2013 Riots in Pakistan, 2013 India Muslim 13.4% Israel Muslim 16% Kenya Muslim 10% Russia Muslim 15%
The violence increases when the Muslim population reaches 20%. After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, such as in:
Ethiopia Muslim 32.8% At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in:
Bosnia Muslim 40% Chad Muslim 53.1% Lebanon Muslim 59.7% From 60%, persecution of non-believing infidels rises significantly, including sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia law as a weapon, and Jizya, a tax placed on infidels, such as in: Albania Muslim 70% Malaysia Muslim 60.4% Qatar Muslim 77.5% Sudan Muslim 70%
After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out infidels, and move toward a 100% Muslim society, which has been experienced to some degree in:
Bangladesh Muslim 83% Egypt Muslim 90% Gaza Muslim 98.7% Indonesia Muslim 86.1% Iran Muslim 98% Iraq Muslim 97% Jordan Muslim 92% Morocco Muslim 98.7% Pakistan Muslim 97% Palestine Muslim 99% Syria Muslim 90% Tajikistan Muslim 90% Turkey Muslim 99.8% United Arab Emirates Muslim 96%
A 100% Muslim society will theoretically usher in their version of peace the peace of Dar-es-Salaam the Islamic House of Peace. Here theres supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrassas are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word, such as in:
Afghanistan Muslim 100% Saudi Arabia Muslim 100% Somalia Muslim 100% Yemen Muslim 100%
Dr. Hammond observes this Islamic ideal is seldom realized. Unfortunately, peace is never achieved, as in these 100% states the most radical Muslims intimidate and spew hatred, and satisfy their blood lust by killing less radical Muslims, for a variety of reasons.
It is important to understand that in some countries, with well under 100% Muslim populations, such as France, the minority Muslim populations live in ghettos, within which they are 100% Muslim, and within which they live by Sharia law, he states.
Dr. Hammond is also concerned by demographic trends. Todays 1.5 billion Muslims make up 22% of the worlds population, he observes. But their birth rates dwarf the birth rates of Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, and all other believers. Muslims will exceed 50% of the worlds population by the end of this century.
Dr. Peter Hammond is a missionary who has pioneered evangelistic outreaches in the war zones of Mozambique, Angola and Sudan. Peter has travelled hundreds of thousands of miles to deliver Bibles to persecuted Christians in Africa and Eastern Europe.
He is the Founder and Director of Frontline Fellowship, the Founder and Chairman of Africa Christian Action, the Director of the Christian Action Network and the Chairman of The Reformation Society and the author of numerous missions-related books. He is the Editor of both Frontline Fellowship News and Christian Action.
Peter has developed the Biblical Worldview Seminar and Great Commission Course to mobilize churches to comprehensively apply the Lordship of Christ to all areas of life and to fulfill the Great Commission.
Peter was born in Cape Town and brought up in Rhodesia now Zimbabwe. He converted to Christ in 1977, worked in Scripture Union and Hospital Christian Fellowship, served in the South African Defense Force and studied at Baptist Theological College, Cape Town. He also earned a Doctorate in Missiology. For more information about his book, go here.

As a Christian, I would go and buy a house. If denied, I would then sue for discrimination. Imagine if this was done enforce and expose these animals for who they really are.
The city of New Gaza?
One of the planners was on TV explaining that Christians can move in, but a substantial portion of their homeowners association fees will go to support the mosque.
Islam’s War on Christianity has come to America. Seems to me the real problem here is the Democrats appear to think they can use Muslims to achieve their goal of transforming our Republic into a Democratic controlled totalitarian state and will then just dump them. Democrats don’t seem to realize the Muslims can be more vicious than they are.
What could go wrong? 🙄
My cousin was in the Navy back in the early 60’s. He and a buddy got picked up in a port in NJ, drunk and disorderly.
Where are you boys from? The Policeman asked
Texas, Plano Texas, he replied.
Plain old Texas? Don’t get smart with me boy, and the cop commenced to beating on him.
No, Plano Texas, he cried!
They still got tossed in jail!
