Texas Muslim city rebrands with unthreatening new name after Governor Greg Abbott accused it of trying to bring Sharia law to Lone Star State

An Islamic group hoping to build a 'Muslim city' in eastern Texas has rebranded their project after Governor Greg Abbott accused them of wanting to enforce Sharia law.

Developers looking to push forward with the large community have opted to change the name from EPIC City to The Meadow, according to the Houston Chronicle.

The East Plano Islamic Community (EPIC) is behind the development and have yet to move beyond the planning stages, break ground or even submit permits.

The cleric behind the community, Yasir Qadhi, has a decades-old record of preaching hatred, homophobia and Holocaust-denial to his followers.

In one of his chilling diatribes, Qadhi even advances a wild theory Jewish people have infiltrated religious departments of American universities in a bid to 'destroy' Muslims.

Such revelations sparked the concerns of Abbott and other Republicans who started probing the development over allegations they are looking to implement Sharia laws.

Sharia laws refers to a body of religious law inspired by Islam's holy scriptures, including the Koran and Hadith, sayings of the prophet Mohammed.

In some Muslim countries, Sharia law is associated with capital punishment for adultery and homosexuality, which involves death by stoning.

The investigations have yet to uncover anything untoward, with EPIC posting on social media that they are a law-abiding non-profit.

Audio files show Qadhi openly calling in the 2000s for the execution of gay people and adulterers - as well as calling the Holocaust a 'hoax.'

In one of his chilling diatribes, Qadhi even advances a wild theory Jewish people have infiltrated religious departments of American universities in a bid to 'destroy' Muslims.

The case raises questions about Texas' fast-growing Muslim population, Islamophobia, and whether the views of clerics put the faith at odds with US values.

“capital punishment for adultery and homosexuality, which involves death by stoning”

That part wasn’t on the Chamber of Commerce website welcome page.

We are probably in the beginning stages of World War III—what I mean by that is basically Political Islam has declared war on the rest of the world. They have already conquered Western Europe.

It's not "hot" yet but that may change in a couple of decades from now.

“It’s not “hot” yet but that may change in a couple of decades from now.”

.

I would only give it about two years past the next prog prez and congress.

The prog are REELING from just the first year of President of the United States of America Donald John Trump’s (luv saying that!) scorched earth elimination of all the schemes, scams, plots, gimmicks, swindles, conspiracies, rackets, plots, lies, fake news, “anonymous sources” that “prove” this or that.

To them this represents utter humiliating defeat, the very way of life for those scum traitors.

The 2028 elections will be bloody and there will be no controlling the prog.

They will openly commit fraud and will teach all the other prog, illegals and gee-hawd-ee muzz how to do the same.

California & 11 States are failing to provide voter registration rolls because they contained around a million of the dead and millions more criminal illegal aliens.
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4355792/posts

So, right around 2030 is where the prog will no longer have any regard for this nation, the people in it and probably not even themselves.

They will be insane from their demonic revolution to grab power “By Any Means” and will begin execution’s of any opposition of ANY form.

It will be the insanity of the UK instilled into gangs of negro, illegal aliens, cartel hired guns and muzz of various origin, usually with no law preventing first cousins to marry.
