@CynthiaVan90821: Islam has no business in the USA. TEXAS , DOJ stop this. USA will never be Sharia Law.
Laura Loomer: It’s pretty funny how@JohnCornyn is now trying to gaslight people into thinking that he cares about the EPIC Sharia compound that is being erected in Texas. This is a man who has enabled the Islamic invasion of Texas. When you make videos for Ramadan as a GOP Senator for Texas, is it any wonder that the jihadists in Texas now feel emboldened to erect Muslim only compounds all over the state of Texas. This compound has been in the works for a long time. Weird how Cornyn was perfectly content with the Islamification of Texas until he was facing a primary challenge from@KenPaxtonTX
. This is something Texas voters need to keep in mind when they vote in the 2026 Texas Senate GOP primary.
Steve Monas: Sharia Law in Texas? Over my dead body. This isn’t Saudi Arabia, folks. Time to send EPIC City back to the drawing board—or better yet, back to the Middle East. America First, always. #NoShariaHere
@Us_Stolen:This is why we cannot allow “Epic City” in Texas @GregAbbott_TX
Angela Van Der Pluym: Cool, that’s not the project he is talking about. There are multiple projects like EPIC in Texas. You’d better Giddy up and stop them all!
Elizabeth Farah: As Texas, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey ++ move to Islam, we should begin to talk about #islamization OUTLOUD. The fear of being called a “racist” is your REACTION to the carefully cultivated programming of the Muslim Brotherhood (CAIR) among us: – we are victims – we are as patriotic as any other American – America is a multicultural, pluralistic society – the first Amendment put a wall of serparation between religion and state. This is all a lie. Nothing above is true. The Most important thing to know is: 1) this is a Christian country with a Judeo-Christian worldview and foundation. 2) The American people did not agree to this. This is being done by politicians on the take for votes/power/money. just like the #UnitedKingdom Are we spineless, weak, fearful like the British, Irish and Scotch who allowed their coutry to be destroyed? Are we like the Germans and the French and the Austrians? No! They walked away from the truth, the one, true God and left a void to be filled by a false god, Allah. #AmericaNOTEngland #AmericaNOTtheUK #DoNotBecomeUK Think of our founding fathers and mothers. Imagine their anguish. The pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor — against tyranny! Are we willing to risk being shunned, despised, scorned and demonetized/cancelled? What is it that we would not do for Jesus? If we can’t stand up now, how will we do it when you’re faced with violence? This is a civilizational war, yes. But it is more importantly a war to save the our country. If America becomes a state with Muslim shariaists fighting to destroy the American way of life and out contitution, we will end up in a civil war with jihad. That will be very ugly because their will be no battle lines. We must be the refuge of Christians around the world not for shariaists who’s goal is to use our Chrisitin values against us. Christianity and our Constitution are not a suicide pacts. that will be a refuge for the persecuted Christians of the world, Listen up Texas, this could be you: “Muslims demand Islamic caliphate in Germany overwhelm police” x.com/RadioGenoa/sta
Carl Jackson: This is great news @GregAbbott_TX! Please make sure it can never be built and any like communities in Texas abide by US law, not Sharia law.
Alexander Duncan: What is wrong with the courts in Texas? Forcing Female Islamic Abuse Victims into Sharia-Mandated Mosque Counseling! This is insane!
Morgan Collier: I’m going to be in Blue Ridge tonight for the city council meeting, can’t wait to meet everyone in person! De-annexation is on the agenda!
@queenkathryn999: Thank you Governor Abbot for stopping this Islamic, sharia led Muslim only, non peaceful, pedophile allowing, wife beating, terroristic sharia Islamic Muslim cult from building a city in Texas. They must be stopped, banned, deported. NOW.@GregAbbott_TX @POTUS @SecRubio
Andrew Petiprin: Some of you have heard about the Islamic EPIC City development possibly taking shape in Plano, Texas. As a resident of Plano, I am grateful that @NPinkoski has taken such a close look at the disturbing implications of allowing it to proceed.
Steve Toth: This is Islam. They don’t seek peace. They seek subjugation.
Nicole Brey: Awesome because Cronyn has got to go! He sold out Texas to the Muslim/Islam monsters so they can start sharia law in Texas! He must be investigated to see how much bribe money he’s taken from who? What was his price to sell out his constituents in Texas? @AGPamBondi@FBIDirectorKash@DNIGabbard
Alexander Duncan: Texas, we are being invaded by Islam throughout the state! The Islamic Center of Aubrey has just purchased 25 acres to build a sprawling mega-mosque, Islamic school, seminary, and Sharia-compliant businesses—all designed to fund and expand Islam’s dominance in Texas. x.com/AmyMek/status/
