Muslim mega city hangs in balance as furious residents blast plans for a loudspeaker with a call to prayer
UK Daily Mail ^ | 04/01/2025 | MARYANN MARTINEZ

Opponents of a proposed Muslim city in Texas flooded a public meeting Monday in hopes of stopping a controversial Islamic compound from getting necessary permits to begin construction.

For two hours, the Collin County Commissioners Court heard dozens of speakers pleading with them to deny the East Plano Islamic Center or EPIC, permits needed to build a city for Muslims that's meant to be 'the epicenter of Islam in America' by organizers.

EPIC, a sprawling house of worship located in Plano, Texas- just north of Dallas- has recently become a target for Gov. Greg Abbott who has accused the mosque of breaking the law, despite no arrests or charges being made public.

In early 2024, EPIC announced what it called a 'historic project,' EPIC City, a community centered in Islam after buying 402 acres of land just outside of Josephine, Texas.

EPIC City, with a brand new mosque serving as the town center, will feature 1,000 new homes, a schools and even a shopping center.

Many residents of the 2,000-person town of Josephine voiced their concerns, although the Islamic development is outside the city limits.

'They want to install a loud system, a speaker system, that would blast their music to call them to prayer, and they could do it as long as they wanted to because they specifically choose a site just outside the city so they can do that,' Susan Martinez told the commission.

She also shared that her small, rural community is already dealing with water restrictions, even without any new construction.

'Last summer, we did not only lose water pressure, we ran out of water one day because a construction site had left water on by mistake.'

However, others had concerns there are more sinister intentions behind the construction.

ISlime has no place in our country at all.

I'd bet most of what I own that those people are wasting their time. The muslims will get their permits.

I saw my first mosque in person - Midwestern city in 1989.

I was asked to teach Sunday School (basically) at a church event (some time later) - I said America is going into captivity; just like ancient Israel

The call ain’t exactly church bells. It’s a dirge like droning. It’s the first one at the crack of dawn that is the biggest problem.

They have home clocks, wristwatches, and apps for that.

This is about conquest. According to Muslims the call to prayer represents the territory of Islam control.

I hope the mooselimbs fail to get their permits. In fact, they should also be deported back to Hellholistan where they belong.

If they can put a loudspeaker on their side of the property line, then I should be able to put a hog farm on my side...

“the only difference between a muslim and a radicalized muslim is how devoutly they are willing to follow their own religious beliefs”. like squatters, good luck getting law enforcement or a tainted judicial system involved. a majority of voters got you folks here so WHAT are you going to do about it? remember friends, “elections have consequences and then everyone suffers the consequences”. how is it democrats and rino’s convinced you dummies to vote for them?

So, Tx is allowing the deliberate construction of a ghetto? Not organic like existing ones — where people of a type want to be neighbors of the same type. No, a NEW town where only that type is allowed?

Burn it down, now.

That is absolutely correct

"to build a city for Muslims that's meant to be 'the epicenter of Islam in America'"

Golly, that doesn't sound very inclusive, or diverse.

Judge will rule that the muslims have every right to make whatever sort of city they want, however they want. It will be later learned that the Judge is a muslin and owns the construction company hired to do the building. People will be upset on learning this, but the 2nd muslim city will begin construction later that year.

The Judge will later retire to a villa in the 3rd city along the coast as a multi-billionaire.
