Oh great!! it's already the 3rd event. So only people like you and your ilk have a problem with it - a minority.

I just wonder why it's tax payer funded.

Now i know that they do everything bigger in TX but a publicly funded water park?

I know parks do a state resident only day like at Hershey Park.

We went up there once and it was PA residents only day but they let us in anyway. The moose out front was very nice. ;)

Taxpayer-funded Texas waterpark announces 'Muslim only' day featuring modest dress and Halal-slaughtered meat
A taxpayer-funded Texas waterpark has sparked backlash by organizing a Muslim-only day to celebrate Eid.
Epic Waters in Grand Prairie, Texas drew outrage this week as it released fliers for the June 1 event, which will demand a 'modest dress code' and serve only Halal-slaughtered meat.

Posters for the event say it will be 'for Muslims only' to create a 'family-friendly environment', with tickets starting at $55 each.

The waterpark's website notes that men and women will not be separated during the event, but attendees are told to 'uphold Islamic etiquette' by 'lowering the gaze' throughout the day.

Huh, my biggest question is why is there a tax payer funded water park to start with?

IMHO Texas is the most overrated "free" red state.

All things considered I bet it's more peaceful than their Juneteenth celebration and with 87% less twerking.

Is the "event" tax payer funded (aka the pork sausages, the Shisah's and alcoholic beverages) or simply the "location"?

If it's the "location" it's up to the community council to decide if they will leave the location for a single day to an "organization" to celebrate a specific event. Especially for a Muslim organization where additionally an unpleasant "confrontation with others" can't be out-ruled. Simple as that - "especially" upon viewing onto the hate and prejudice filled statements by various posters towards Muslims.

To me, one day out of 365 a year isn't asking much.

God bless you always!!!

P.S. Will this happen every year now or is it just for this year on June 1st?
