Texas Residents, Lawmakers Raise Concerns Over Planned “All-Islamic Community” Near Dallas

 In the heart of Texas, controversy is brewing over EPIC City, a planned 400-acre “all-Islamic” community that critics say would effectively operate outside American law. The ongoing debate over the project has also raised fresh concerns about so-called “Islamization” in other parts of the country.

According to EPIC City’s website, the development, which the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) announced in 2024, will be “a community aimed at serving the needs of the Muslim community” that “brings Islam to the forefront.” It will feature 1,000 homes, a K-12 Islamic school, a mosque, apartments, health centers, commercial shopping, and even a community college – in theory, residents won’t ever have to leave the compound.

While EPIC City initially garnered little media attention, local residents and online influencers have thrust it into the spotlight. Amy Mek, founder of the organization Resistance Against Islamic Radicals (RAIR), has been a particularly vocal critic, posting footage from community meetings of Texans opposed to the project.

In one clip Mek posted on X earlier this month, a woman who identifies herself as the daughter of a Guatemalan immigrant explains why she believes it is wrong that the developers of EPIC City are aiming to create an Islamic compound separate from the rest of the community.

“We didn’t come here to build a Guatemalan Catholic compound,” she said. “We assimilated. We became American. Why is EPIC building a city where everything is Islamic – the school, the mosque, the fitness center, even the medical clinic? That’s not diversity. That’s ideological takeover. This is not okay with the American people.”

As Mek also reported, Douglas Deaton, a retired police lieutenant from Collin County, where the EPIC City site is located, has alleged that EPIC has already created a “Sharia-controlled enclave” that has “operated as a religiously exclusive neighborhood.” That enclave reportedly includes the “UIF Corporation,” a Michigan-based company whose own website states that it exists to “engage in financial transactions that are Sharia compliant.”

Father James Martin: ‘The Vatican Is Not a Walled City’

ROME — Jesuit Father James Martin has struck back at the “internet,” launching the disingenuous and counter-factual claim the Vatican “is not a walled city.”

Father Martin, a gay rights activist, was responding to critics who have pointed out the obvious irony involved in Pope Francis’ harsh criticisms against U.S. immigration policy while the Vatican itself is the only walled sovereign territory in the world.

The massive, 40-foot-high walls surrounding Vatican City State were built by Pope Leo IV, after Islamic Saracen troops sacked Old St. Peter’s Basilica in 846 AD.

The original wall encompassed the entire Vatican hill, surrounding what came to be known as the Leonine City, but was later reduced to circumscribe the 110-acre Vatican City that exists today.

The current walls span a full 2 miles in length, completely surrounding the territory. Saint Peter’s Square and Basilica are technically on Vatican territory and are open to the public but moving beyond the square or the basilica into the interior of the Vatican involves passing check points manned by armed Swiss Guards.

The extent of the Vatican walls can be grasped from this accurate visual from WorldAtlas.com:

Father Martin’s ill-advised foray into Vatican topography sought to counter a barrage of criticism aimed at the pope’s equally ill-advised letter to the American bishops on the question of U.S. immigration policy and Vice President J.D. Vance’s defense of it using the Catholic principle of ordo amoris (the order of love).

In that letter, the pontiff stated that any rightly formed conscience can see the error of identifying “the illegal status of some migrants with criminality.”
