‘We Want Islam For This Country’: Muslims In Texas Lay Out Vision For Islamic America
The Federalist ^ | 25 Sep. 2026 | Joshua Monnington

Posted on 09/27/2026 8:00:17 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The organization hosting the event has plans for a 40,000-square-foot Islamic facility near Plano, Texas.

Shaykh Uthman ibn Farooq laid out a vision for an Islamic America during a livestreamed event at the Sufaraa Center in McKinney, Texas, last week. Authentic Ilm Mission, which hosted the event, has plans for a 40,000-square-foot facility near Plano, Texas, and used the livestream featuring Farooq to fundraise for the multipurpose school and Islamic community center.

“We love this country,” Farooq said. “We want good for this country. And that’s why we want Islam for this country, ’cause we think that’s the best thing. And we’re not going to be ashamed of that.”

He went on to argue that Muslims are fully within their constitutional rights to adhere to Sharia law. “We’re Muslims. That’s our identity, and there’s nothing wrong with that. The Constitution of this country protects that. That’s our right to believe in the Sharia. Yes, I said it. That’s our right.”

“There’s communists that believe in communism and live in America,” Farooq continued. “The current mayor of New York is a socialist. Bernie Sanders is open socialist. … Our president — I don’t know what the, what he is actually. I don’t think he knows what he is. … But he has that right according to the Constitution. … There are Satanists. There’s a church of Satan. I’ve debated them.”

Farooq works with the One Message Foundation and is a viral social media influencer. His Instagram and YouTube pages boast 430,000 and 1.4 million followers, respectively. The One Message Foundation’s homepage says it, together with other groups, converted nearly 1,500 individuals to Islam during the World Cup. Farooq’s social media videos feature his commentary speaking of polygamy as legitimate and speculating that President Donald Trump may be an evil spirit.

The event host, Authentic Ilm Mission (AIM), which is led by Dr. Karim AbuZaid and Farooq, is fundraising for an expansive Islamic facility “in one of the most densely Muslim-populated areas between Richardson and Plano,” according to the group’s website. On the former site of a Christian church, the four-acre campus and its facilities — 40,000 square feet in total — will be used to host “Islamic K-12 education,” a seminary, and training in Da’wah, that is, Islamic proselytization.

The AIM website describes the project as having raised $300,000 of the $800,000 needed, with donations reportedly coming from 1,500 individuals in 50 countries. The site features a video of a mosque displacing a beautiful church building with a steeple and classical brick architecture. A different graphic on the website allows users to swipe across the screen to replace an image of the church building at the address listed with an image of the new mosque. The number of mosques in America has surpassed 3,000 in recent years.

During the livestreamed event, Farooq said that the classes offered at the “Da’wah center” would help “educate our youth to have that knowledge … [and] refute Christian apologists and Islamophobes and hadith-rejectors and anybody else that’s trying to deviate Islam.”

He also warned against compromising Islamic principles, framing the warning in terms of Muslims’ military conquests in Europe. Muslims being driven out of parts of Europe in and around the 1500s demonstrate the consequences of compromise, Farooq said: “Portugal and Spain, Sicily — these areas were under Muslim rule for around 700 years. … When the Muslims went there, one of the leaders of the Muslims … went with sword in hand, iman in heart … The Quran was on their tongues. It was in their hearts. It was in their actions. And Allah made them victorious. Victory after victory until, to the middle of Europe, they were victorious. Seven hundred years of compromise, of trying to accommodate ended with what? the Muslims losing.”

Farooq is no stranger to controversy. Yvette Cooper, who was serving as home secretary at the time, barred Farooq from visiting the United Kingdom due to comments justifying Muslims having sex with female captives, a position endorsed by Muhammad in the Quran. Farooq visited Europe in April 2025. When speaking at a Birmingham mosque, he said, “The future is ours. Every ideal nightmare of a Muslim Europe will come true.”

Texas has one of the highest Muslim populations in the United States at more than 300,000, and a significant portion resides in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The intended site for the Authentic Ilm Mission facility is situated about 20 minutes southwest of the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) mosque, which boasts 10,000 members and is embroiled in controversy that garnered nationwide attention with its efforts to establish a Muslim city. The legal battle over EPIC’s planned complex of more than 450 housing plots is ongoing.

“We love this country,” Farooq said. “We want good for this country. And that’s why we want Islam for this country,”.

Oh yeah? Well guess what. We don’t want you or your cancer disguised as a religion. And we already have what is good for our country, and don’t need foreigners to tell us how to make it good when the countries they came from suck. For every one of you thieving bastards there are dozens who are born here and can’t stand your filthy presence. Go back to your hell hole.

There. I feel a little better now.

Islam and the U.S. Constitution are totally incompatable.

Unles the American People abandon the Constitution, a fatal mistake, Islam has no place in America.

You raise an interesting point. We have something Europe doesn’t have: “them old boys raised on shotguns”.
(Hat tip to Hank Williams, Jr.)

Will that make a real difference, or would it just delay things? Hard to say, only because mass propaganda usually works.

On a path to conquer, aided and abetted by stupid lefties, some at the highest level of government, who believe in being open and “tolerant” - something Islam certainly is not.

They are taking over with out shot being fired, even brag about it - a fast-breeding, in-assimable population living off of American welfare.

This is a cancer that needs to be eradicated, it is already metastasizing.

“”Wonder how many brain-dead libtards in TX are cheering this on and feeling so good about themselves in the process, because DIVERSITY!””

***

Many or most of which (libtards) have moved to Texas after fouling their own nests in other states with their asinine, idiotic and extremely destructive leftist policies. Every state has been “infiltrated” by now.

To be honest, I don’t care what the scholars and the debaters say about Islam. Instead, ask a Muslim to honestly answer these three questions:

1. What should happen to anyone who mocks Mohammed?
2. What should happen to anyone who defiles the Koran?
3. What should happen to anyone who leaves the Muslim religion?

An honest Muslim will respond:

1. death
2. death
3. death

Case closed.

The Bush and Clintons sold us out. Obama advanced the ball. Biden was a half time game delay show. We still have a chance but because we are lazy and easily distracted our grandchildren will be bowing to mecca.

We must do anything and everything to persuade all koranimals in the USA to self deport. Mention to them that they would be far more welcome in a muslim majority country of which they can pick from many.

It was predicted that some day the White House will be a mosque. I heard a guy on Michael Savage one night who had a history of predicting events and this is what he said. He also said he did’t want to describe the events leading up to this because it was horrible. I believe he said in less than 20 years.

Look at the trajectory...this could happen.

Our politicians don’t have the stones to do what’s needed to rid us of all Muslims. We need a strong leader like Poland’s. He told German television he could solve their problems in 3 days. I’d bet he could do the same here.

Abdul El-Sayed or Zohran Mamdani will become President in 20 years.

Maybe not even that long.

It will happen, because we have a soft populace: we are just sitting back watching as these evil nasty people establish a stronghold here in the US. No protests, no marches, nothing. It’s pathetic.

They don’t belong in Western Civilization. Send them back.

If you immigrate here, assimilate.

Ban the Burka.

Muslims destroyed all of the African Countries north of the equator and killed over 1million Christians. Do Americans want that here because its coming unless our politicians do something to prevent it.?

Legal, constitutional, and structural rules strictly limit the US military from integrating with foreigners .......so as to protect US national sovereignty and US congressional power.

Strict rules limit how the US shares sensitive defense technology and research with other countries.

One example is Federal law that stops citizens from adversary nations (like China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea) from joining the US Armed Forces in order to curtail foreign spying.

Congress uses its budget power to stop money from going toward unauthorized joint combat or foreign entanglements.


You can read more about these policy debates through the Action Network Petition.
