Taxpayer-funded Texas waterpark announces "Muslim only event" on June 1st

This has to be a joke...Right?


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.
It is owned by the city.
 
The facility is owned by the city of Grand Prairie, TX and is operated by American Resort Management also of Grand Prairie.

As for the rules, it's likely no different from a church that holds their weekly services in a public school or other municipal facility.
Evidently the park was rented out by a private entity. Big deal.
The Muslim-only event in June is being organized and run by the East Plano Islamic Center.

No kidding. Never seen one in my travels to Muslim countries though I've seen a lot of hijabs etc. In fact, the only time I've ever seen one was in downtown Prague but I haven't been to Paris or London since 1977. Spooky
This story is about Texass.

Abbott ain't spinning his wheels.

A "Muslim only" event at a taxpayer-funded Texas water park has been canceled following criticism and threats by Gov. Greg Abbott to pull public safety grants.

A local Islamic group had rented out the Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark in Grand Prairie for its annual Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) "Epic Eid" celebration on June 1.

Representatives for both the water park and the city of Grand Prairie sent the following statement to Fox News Digital on Wednesday evening confirming the event is cancelled:
