Texas Muslims Want to Build Homes and a Mosque. The Governor Says No. "Shariah law is not allowed in Texas"

[TroglocratsRdumb]

‘Abbott has posted about the development at least 11 times in recent weeks. He suggested the developers may have violated fair housing and financial laws, and accused the Islamic center of conducting illegal funerals.

The governor ordered multiple overlapping investigations. Not to be outdone, the state’s conservative attorney general, Ken Paxton, added his own criminal inquiry.

The state’s actions have fueled opposition to the proposed housing development, known as EPIC City, before any initial plans have been submitted. At a hearing on the project in Collin County, where part of it would be located, hours of public comment included expressions of anti-Muslim hostility.

“I know what this would mean,” said another speaker, Krista Schild, a Republican precinct chair in Hunt County, where a portion of the project would be also be located. “Honor killings, stonings, marrying their young girls off to older men.”’

There’s no limit to Republicans’ bigotry and hate, along with their ignorance and unwarranted fear.

Example: Islamic honor killing is illegal in Texas

Texas dad Yaser Said found guilty of fatally shooting teen daughters in ‘honor killings’

A suburban Dallas man who evaded arrest for more than 12 years after being accused of fatally shooting his two teenage daughters was convicted Tuesday.

A suburban Dallas man who evaded arrest for more than 12 years after being accused of fatally shooting his two teenage daughters in 2008 was convicted Tuesday in their killings.

Yaser Said, 65, was found guilty of capital murder in the deaths of 18-year-old Amina Said and 17-year-old Sarah Said. Prosecutors did not pursue the death penalty, meaning Yaser Said receives an automatic life sentence.

Prosecutor Lauren Black has said Said was “obsessed with possession and control.”

The sisters were found shot to death in a taxi parked near a hotel in the Dallas suburb of Irving on New Year’s Day in 2008. Jurors heard a 911 call Sarah Said made by cellphone, telling the operator that her father had shot her and that she was dying.

As much as it pains me, I might have to (spit), go with Jones on this one.

I've always said that if I had to move to a red state Texas would be at the very bottom of my list.

Any state that can take your land and give it to developer under eminent domain is not much of a free state IMO.

Submission of the Kafir in Islamic Political Doctrine

Submission to Allah and Mohammed is an essential principle in Islamic doctrine. The direct translation of the word “Islam” is submission. What does the Islamic political doctrine state about submission in relation to the Kafir (non-Muslim)? First, let us...

There are religious and spiritual communities, including Christian all over in the US that do similar to what this group is proposing. And you have no problem with it.

Well known groups such as the Amish and Mennonites for example. Other examples might be communities that are allowed to follow religious law for civil things (marriage, divorce, funerals, finances) but not criminal law and the religious laws don’t trump state and federal laws.

Following Sharia law in matters of lifestyle is okay. Following it in matters subject to state and Federal law is not.

They were providing funeral services. The state told them to stop, because presumably they weren't licensed.

I'm not confident there won't be any other similar mistakes.

You can criticize Muslims all you want.

I can. YOU can't.

The state however can’t treat them differently than other faiths.

The state isn't.

From the OP:
The center and its congregants have been fixtures in Plano for two decades, providing a food bank, mobile medical services and, in recent years, the city’s only warming center during cold weather.

Good for them.

They aren’t crazy militants, these are long term community members. What specifically do you object to? The fact that they are Muslim?

I'm sure you're desperate to believe that, but no.

I object to the fact that Sharia is not compatible with American laws.

How is it bigotry to ensure there is no law that supersedes Federal, State, and Local Laws? There are many religious communities in the US. None of their laws exceed or exempt US Laws.

Because the accusations are baseless, founded entirely in bigotry.

Do you have any facts to back that up or are you the one engaged in baseless accusations?

So build homes and a Mosque but leave it there. I doubt they will

Have you seen the power a developer can wield through covenant agreements? It’s absurd.

If a Christian sect wanted their own city and to run it under their own brand of the law, you'd be throwing a fit -- and rightly so.

But for some reason, leftists are utterly unable to criticize Muslims.

Did anyone have a fit over this? I don't remember anyone having a fit when he built this in Florida.

Ave Maria, both the university and the town, were founded by Catholic philanthropist Tom Monaghan, the founder of Domino's Pizza.

Are non-Muslims allowed to love into this community? Or, are they setting precedent whereby other groups can set up their own communities and exclude everyone and live by their own laws?
