What’s Next for Wealthy Texas Islamism?
Texas Public Policy Foundation ^ | Sam Westrop

Posted on 06/27/2026 7:53:19 AM PDT by ma_che62

Given this wealth, on top of more mosques and bigger mosques, along with schools, seminaries, and activist organizations, what is next for Texas Islamism?

Tom Facchine gave his talk at a Houston mosque, the River Oaks Islamic Center, at an event co-organized with the Texas branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), on the subject of “From Wealth to Power: The Case for Muslim Coordination.”

...while martyrdom, sacrifice and “blood” may be necessary, Muslim rights must be aggressively asserted. Pointing out that “Muslims need to take full advantage of our Second Amendment rights,” Facchine urged the establishment of Islamic gun clubs and security firms, while not forgetting the importance of aggressive litigation, all while embracing street activism and action “by any means necessary.” He added: “This is Texas, right? … we better be strapped.”

Facchine still feels his far-left roots. The Islamist cleric told his audience that “direct action” on the “streets” must never be forgotten amid the broader political efforts. He advised: “The way that the American system is set up, you have to imagine rights as like territory. If you do not fully occupy that territory, it will be taken from you. It will be taken from you. And so you have to fully occupy that territory.”

Finally, Facchine urged his audience to engage in the electoral process, but to reject dependency on the Democrats; and to focus, for the moment, on the political right.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

“If we can only think about Muslim progress through the Democratic Party, there’s a big problem. There’s a big problem with our political vision. We have to be able to exploit any possible situation that comes about. We need to have an agenda.”

Facchine is an official of the Yaqeen Institute, an outpost of the modernist Salafi movement, which is headquartered in North Texas.

As a white, middle-class convert from an Italian American family, who boasts of his time as a far-left activist before embracing Islam, Facchine explained that he and the well-off audience of doctors and lawyers are in fact living under “apartheid,” controlled by the “Epstein class.” He explains that “we will continue to be second-class citizens as Muslims in this country until we remove the influence of Zionism” and its “tentacles.”

“We want Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Green to win out over Ted Cruz and whoever else. … We’re all going to register Republican. We’re going to take him on to the primary. We’re going to beat this guy. We’re going to primary Ted Cruz with some Tucker Carlson-like Republican...We don’t have the luxury of doing purity tests. We want to get the thing done. And so if it’s going to take Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens going off on their whatever, if they’re leading a revolt on the right that we had nothing to do with and we cannot take any credit for whatsoever, let them cook. …. But if [Tucker is] going to stop the Republican Party from being Zionist, I’m here for it.”

This fellow is genuinely dangerous; he understands the political system and how to influence it. 1000 times more dangerous than a deranged leftist (redundancy) puncturing Tesla tires or otherwise acting out.

Case in point!

We Conservatives MUST keep in mind that the Left is evil...not
“crazy or
out-of-their-minds or
nuts or
stupid.”

The Nazis were not stupid or crazy...they were vile...and EVIL.

Those on the Left have advanced degrees from “prestigious institutions;” they’re usually wealthy...they’re playing the long game...and we conservatives have become fat, drunk on the NFL, and asleep...as we continue to write them off as nuts.

Best to find another country to destroy. We don’t accept your offer of ‘caretaking’. Anything you build is founded on a lie. Take your invasion somewhere else.

“If you do not fully occupy that territory, it will be taken from you. It will be taken from you. And so you have to fully occupy that territory.”

Absolutely!

As a famous person once said “You only own that which you are willing and able to defend using whatever means at your disposal”

Something Christians have sorely forgotten!

Totally agree! He gets how our system works and he’s intent on exploiting it to his benefit.

Will our side answer in equal and greater measure?

Slouching towards civil war. Won’t be pretty.
The preferred alternative is Christian revival and restoration.
