“The state of Texas has launched about a half dozen investigations into this project” while the DOJ investigates possible civil rights violations.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) announced he stopped all construction of the Muslim EPIC City in North Texas due to state and DOJ investigations.
Abbott wrote on X:
Texas has halted any construction of EPIC City.
There is no construction taking place.
The state of Texas has launched about a half dozen investigations into this project.
That includes criminal investigations.
And, the US Department of justice is also investigating.
This matter, and similar matters, are taken very seriously, and actions are being taken to address all concerns.

The EPIC City is the brainchild of the East Plano Islamic Center. From KERA News:
The 402-acre development would be in unincorporated Collin and Hunt counties roughly 40 miles northeast of Dallas near the city of Josephine, and would include a new mosque, more than 1,000 single and multi-family homes, a K-12 faith-based school, senior housing, an outreach center, commercial developments, sports facilities, and a community college.
In an interview in December, Yasir Qadhi, a resident scholar at the Plano mosque, said the idea for EPIC City came as the Muslim population continues to grow in the region.
“We need more space, and there are people coming from across the country,” Qadhi said. “Dallas is now known to be a hub of people of our faith, coming not just to the city, but specifically to our mosque.”
The first 450 plots sold out within days of its announcements on the mosque’s website, Qadhi said.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Just say no to caliphates.
Well said. In fact, just say no to ISlime, their satanic fictional moon deity and his pedophile prophet.
Their “holy” book says to murder all Jews & Christians who won’t bow to their prophet! They want that to be one of their capital cities for the take over and destruction of America...... SEND THEM HOME!!!
Cancel it, don't halt it.
They can build their muzzie city in muzzie land Iran. Not only would be this a haven for terrorists, but is also discriminating. We have to stop the flow of Christian and Jewish hating camel humpers. They are taking over our colleges and universities, indoctrinating students to riot. Get out!
Oligarchy Malarkey. Have them move it to Maryland or New Joysey. Maryland has a severe shortage of “Fathers of the year. “They got their “senator” engaging in human trafficking to bring one up from El Salvador. The ACME U.S. Senate “Coyote” Human Trafficking Squawd.
Let’s build a 500 acre Christian city in Saudi Arabia.
Easy to stop construction when a project is still in the planning phase.
The construction phase probably won’t occur until campaign contributions equal or exceed those obtained from Colony Ridge.
This is entirely the wrong way to approach this.
Whatever bureaucratic roadblocks they come up with, the muzzies will eventually comply with them all and there will be no recourse but to allow them to proceed with this monstrosity.
Their beliefs are fundamentally at odds with America, and that's why they should be stopped. Not because they didn't get the proper permits.
“Their “holy” book says to murder all Jews & Christians who won’t bow to their prophet!”
But in reality, they mostly kill each other.
What the heck? Fags took over the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. When does it end?
Find it hard to believe Abbott has not known about this “city” for some time. Why he hasn’t done anything is mind boggling.
Hopefully this city will have a good kosher deli
Get out of my country!
Yes
The fact that this EPIC City had to become a national news story before being ‘halted’, makes me worried about Gov. Abbot. He had to know about it’s inception and ultimate goal.
I’m guessing he was fine with it, since large sums of money were flowing into his state. Short term thinking.
I’ve heard that the next Texas Gov. election takes place
Nov. 3, 2026, and Abbot wants to run for an unprecedented 4th term. Maybe it’s high time for Gov. Abbot to start ‘spending more time with his family.’

Agree......12 years is more than enough
Go to the Middle East there’s lots of room
Wait it’s a city for a Cult ?
