“Islamic Games” Event Listed At Colleyville Heritage High Prompts GCISD Review
Dallas Express ^ | 01/19/2026 | Logan Washburn

The “Islamic Games” are currently scheduled for a public high school in Colleyville, prompting concern about district policies.

The Dallas Islamic Games 2026 are currently set for Colleyville Heritage High School, where Muslim groups are planning to take over the entire athletic complex. One of its sponsors is a chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which Gov. Greg Abbott designated a foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organization under Texas law in a November 2025 proclamation.

“The board was not aware of this,” said Grapevine-Colleyville ISD Board President Shannon Braun to The Dallas Express. “This is obviously a sporting event. Where the problem lies is that you have a terrorist organization sponsoring it.” Braun was referring to Gov. Abbott’s November 2025 proclamation designating CAIR under Texas law.

District officials were trying to find how this event got approved in the first place, according to Braun. She also said they were investigating how district policy applies.

“They’re bringing in food trucks. They’re using the basketball court, the tennis courts, the track and field, the soccer fields – they’re taking over that entire area,” she said. “Oh, and by the way, it’s sponsored by a terrorist organization.”

At this point, Braun said she expected district policy would not allow this event, though officials will continue exploring the matter.

“I’m going to assume we’re going to have a pretty good case to have them have to find somewhere different,” Braun said.

The Dallas Express also reached out to Colleyville Mayor Bobby Lindamood, but he declined to comment at this point.

Radical Islamic Ties

The event in Colleyville is just one of many across the country, under the Islamic Games of North America. Outside Houston, the Islamic Games are scheduled for October 10 to 11 at Bridgeland High School in Cypress.

Sponsors of the nationwide events include CAIR New Jersey.

During the 2004 prosecution of the Richardson-based Holy Land Foundation, federal investigators alleged CAIR was founded as a “front group” for Hamas in the United States. Internal documents introduced at trial identified CAIR as a subsidiary of the Muslim Brotherhood, a global Islamist organization whose offshoots include multiple U.S.-designated terrorist groups.

As The Dallas Express reported, Abbott issued a proclamation in November 2025 designating CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organizations under Texas law.

“I would assume that no one would want a terrorist organization sponsoring events, considering that we shot and killed a terrorist that held hostages in that Jewish synagogue a couple of years ago in Colleyville,” Braun said.

In 2022, a suspect took hostage numerous worshipers – including the rabbi – at Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, as The Dallas Express reported at the time. The assailant – later identified as U.K. resident Malik Faisal Akram – demanded the release of a Pakistani woman who tried to shoot Americans in Afghanistan.

Another listed sponsor is “Baitumaal,” a nonprofit that collects what it describes as “emergency aid” for Afghanistan, Palestine, Pakistan, and Sudan.

Yet another is the United Mission for Relief and Development, a nonprofit disaster relief group. The group’s president, Abed Ayoub, previously worked as CEO of Islamic Relief USA, an organization that has faced scrutiny from U.S. officials over allegations of anti-semitic rhetoric and extremist associations.

Other listed sponsors include the McKinney Islamic Center, Mesquite Islamic Center, Islamic School of Irving, Islamic Center of Frisco, Islamic Society of Greater Houston, Iman Academy Islamic schools of Houston, and the Islamic Society of North America, which was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation case.

They have a huge game plan for the world!

DUH!!! Do you understand we're in spiritual warfare???

"MUSLIMS" ....A mass of people who carry a "holy" book that says to murder all Jews and Christians who won't bow to their prophet.

And now we're flooding them into our country and even putting them into our government!

Can American citizens be more stupid or are we trying to destroy ourselves ???
