1:27:42Now PlayingA proposed Muslim-centered neighborhood in Texas—dubbed “EPIC City”—is sparking a firestorm of controversy, with critics warning it may introduce elements of Sharia law into U.S. governance. The 400-acre project, backed by the East Plano Islamic Center and Community Capital Partners, aims to build 1,000 homes, a mosque, Islamic schools, a college, and shops catering to the Muslim community in Josephine, Texas. State officials aren’t having it. Governor Greg Abbott vowed, “The proposed community will never see the light of day,” and ordered five investigations, while Attorney General Ken Paxton launched a consumer protection probe citing EPIC’s profit structure and transparency issues. Rep. Jeff Leach warned the plan could “circumvent state law under the guise of cultural or religious accommodation.” EPIC’s lead imam, Dr. Yasir Qadhi, pushed back from the pulpit, defending the project as an exercise of American freedoms: “We are taking advantage of our constitutional rights—not doing anything more than what the constitution allows us.” He also claimed the backlash is part of a broader agenda to “demonize our faith” in the shadow of the war in Gaza.
