Anyone who has read the Koran has encountered verses that instruct Muslims to kill the infidels (non-Muslims). The Koran instructs its followers to take control of the lands they enter and place the inhabitants of those lands under Sharia Law. Coexistence is not part of the platform.
On Monday, Legal Insurrection posted an article about EPIC City, a city being constructed near Dallas, Texas, to house the Muslim community. There will be Mosques, Muslim schools, and an infrastructure that will make it possible for the Muslims who live there never to have to mingle with non-Muslims.
The article reports:
There is no construction taking place.
The state of Texas has launched about a half dozen investigations into this project.
That includes criminal investigations.
And, the US Department of justice is also investigating.
This matter, and similar matters, are taken very seriously, and actions are being taken to address all concerns.
…The EPIC City is the brainchild of the East Plano Islamic Center. From KERA News:
The 402-acre development would be in unincorporated Collin and Hunt counties roughly 40 miles northeast of Dallas near the city of Josephine, and would include a new mosque, more than 1,000 single and multi-family homes, a K-12 faith-based school, senior housing, an outreach center, commercial developments, sports facilities, and a community college.
In an interview in December, Yasir Qadhi, a resident scholar at the Plano mosque, said the idea for EPIC City came as the Muslim population continues to grow in the region.
“We need more space, and there are people coming from across the country,” Qadhi said. “Dallas is now known to be a hub of people of our faith, coming not just to the city, but specifically to our mosque.”
The first 450 plots sold out within days of its announcements on the mosque’s website, Qadhi said.
Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) demanded that the DOJ investigate the city for possible First and Fourteenth Amendment violations by preventing those of other faiths from living there.
Community Capital Partners claimed the community would be for “people of every background, faith, and culture” who “can live together in harmony.”
The company admitted, though, that “Islam will be at the center of the development.”
This is not like Baptists building a community. Baptists do not murder non-Baptists. This has the potential to become something like what the Gaza Strip devolved into. Muslims need to be encouraged to assimilate. If they choose not to assimilate, they might consider living elsewhere. There is nothing wrong with keeping the traditions of the place you lived before you came to America. However, if you live here, you need to swear allegiance to our Constitution and follow our customs. If you are not willing to do that, please move to someplace that has rules you like.
