A new development project for a Muslim community in Texas, which advertises bringing “Islam to the forefront,” has drawn heavy criticism from Texas GOP Governor Greg Abbott, who has since declared that “Sharia law is not allowed in Texas.”
The organization behind the project, the East Plano Islamic Center, has dubbed the project “EPIC City,” and it plans to build on a 402-acre site.
The development would include a “Mosque, a faith school, a community college, and multiple sports facilities” in Collin and Hunt counties. The project would also include the construction of 1,000 homes, parks, and other amenities — all meant for Muslim residents.
