Muslim mega city hangs in balance as furious residents blast plans for a loudspeaker with a call to prayer

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.

**** a loudspeaker with a call to prayer***

Just what people need. Five times a day Caterwauling like someone trying to pass a kidney stone.
Every day.
Perhaps we could counter with some good old US bugle calls at the same time.

My wife’s family farm was in Plano. A small town way WAY out of Dallas in 1950. Now gobbled but by the Metroplex.

Excellent illustration. That’s Islam in a nutshell.

Best of all, Christian music.

[SaveFerris]

Thanks. I try to save the good ones.

Hope that people share it.

[DouglasKC]

I still don’t understand how they are allowed to play their call for prayer and Christian churches can’t do a similar thing.

[Georgia Girl 2]

So much for Texas. 😐

[Organic Panic]

It was disgusting seeing every politician trip over themselves to get to the cameras and declare “Islam is peace.” Where had those dumb arses been during history class? They’ve been at war with everything and everyone since it was founded.

No. They sold out way back in the 1950s and moved to Tulsa.

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

Exactly. Enforce inclusivity laws on them. How many Jews and Christians will be allowed to buy homes there? How many trans people? How many non-Muslims will be hired to staff local offices? Can Jews be local law enforcement? Will your bakeries make gay marriage cakes? Hit them with DEI crap. It is what us normal citizens have to deal with.
