Islamic populations are growing in several states. I live in one of them: Texas. In the Dallas Fort Worth region, we’re seeing land purchases by Muslim organizations, along with well-developed plans for Islamic communities and massive educational and youth centers. We’re concerned about the incursion of Islamic Sharia Law.

According to Robert Spencer, Founder of Jihad Watch, Shariah is not “benign religious law.” It is a political system that Muslims apply “to every aspect of life, for non-Muslims as well a Muslims.”  

Robert Spencer told a Family Research Council audience, ”under Sharia, there is no concept of the equality of rights of all people under the law.” Non-Muslims are denied basic rights.

Islamic educational non-profit Authentic Ilm Mission (AIM) recently hosted a fundraiser for a 40,000-square-foot facility on a 4-acre campus near Plano,Texas. It will feature a community center, an Islamic K-12 school, and a seminary, all to be used for training in Da’wah, which is, Islamic proselytization.

This facility will sit about 20 minutes southwest of another huge, 10,000-member mosque, East Plano Islamic Center.  EPIC is adjacent to a planned complex of over 450 housing plots and is currently in a high-profile battle to establish a Muslim city.  

At the AIM fundraiser, keynote speaker Shaykh Uthman Farooq told potential donors, “We want good for this country. And that’s why we want Islam for this country, ‘cause we think that’s the best thing and we’re not going to be ashamed of that.”

In last March’s Texas primary, a ballot measure asked if “Texas should prohibit Shariah Law.” Ninety-five percent of voters said ‘yes.’

Texas lawmakers will seek to ban Sharia law in the upcoming legislative session. And two Texas Congressmen, Chip Roy and Keith Self, have launched a federal Sharia Free America Caucus.

Dan Codgell, the attorney representing EPIC City says, "Anyone is welcome to buy and live there."

Anyone, that is, who wants to lose their constitutional freedoms.
