EPIC City, Texas

Where, where does the, where does the line of problem get crossed? So the m- the mosque is fine, but if ...

I, I guess, like, we have the, th- the whole Epic City thing, which is perpetually on hold.

I think we kinda took care of that.

So at what point does it, does an alarm go off for you?

Um-

So, so if...

Now, what they don't get to do, and that's what some people were worried about with Epic City, is was it gonna be kind of Muslim-centric, and to the extent that there would be ex- religious exclusions? Were they not dotting the I's or crossing the T's legally? Those are all very valid questions, and I think that's why it kind of ran aground.

But if a bunch of Muslim folks, a bunch of Christian folks, a bunch of, uh, you know, Buddhist folks, uh, would want to kind of live in a certain place, they can do that.

He comes from that area.

So when he's setting up Epic City there in Texas, which he has now done, he of course is against LGBTism.

He is against abortion.

He used to be a Salafi.

It's got soldiers ready to tumble out and take over.

I don't know if what's happening up in Collins County at Epic City, um, is significant.

It's in your backyard, so you would know.

But I do know that, uh, just a couple of miles from where we have grandchildren living in New Jersey is Paterson, New Jersey, which for all intents and purposes, is today a Muslim city.

In Texas in particular, there's a lot of kind of like anti-Muslim, anti-South Asian or Middle Eastern immigrant fervor being whipped up.

Um, Dallas is of course where Epic City, the sort of Muslim living community was being built until every Texas politician or every Republican decided to do what they can to stop it.

Uh, so I mean, that is like a real thing there.

And so, obviously Laura, you know, that's what she wants to see front and center.

Speaking of other places, and we're certainly looking into this here in the war room, people may remember...

Epic City, the controversial Muslim compound that wasn't in the Middle East but was in the heart of Texas, East Plano Islamic Center.

But their affiliated mosque is also an official voting location.

It's been one in November 2023, the March 2024 primaries.

And again, this is the main guy, as you know, the main imam.

Of course, you know, I'm from Epic City, but he's been traveling around the United States of America, encouraging Islam Muslims at mosques all over the country to run for local office.

This is his reasoning.

And I think you should listen to him.

It's very hard to be, I mean, in Alabama, which we feel is one of the reddest states, I would say Texas in my head is as well.

But then you look at like the epic city and governor Abbott's comments.

I mean, they don't have building permits.

They don't have this.

We see it with Abbott.

All he says is political theater.

Just like the first time Epic City comes out, I'm shutting it down.

You didn't do anything.
