What in the world is going on in Texas? At the direction of Governor Gregg Abbott, the Texas Rangers have opened a criminal investigation into a housing and community development project near East Plano, about 40 miles outside of Dallas. The controversy surrounds the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC), which supposedly intends to build an ‘Islamics Only’ enclave. The Rangers will be investigating accusations ranging from permitting and Fair Housing Act violations to the implementation of Sharia Law, which is illegal in Texas. EPIC representatives and project developers deny the accusations.
Governor Abbott appeared on Fox News to discuss the investigation.
Billed as the epicenter of Islam in America, the ‘Epic City’ project isn’t new, as a retired Plano PD lieutenant explained in a public hearing. The project would be a massive expansion of an already existing Muslim-exclusive neighborhood that already exists around the EPIC mosque.
Retired Lieutenant Douglas Deaton exposed a disturbing reality: EPIC’s Sharia-controlled enclave in Plano isn’t some future vision—it already exists. For nearly 12 years, EPIC has operated a religiously exclusive neighborhood comprising 74 homes, a sprawling mosque, Islamic schools, a medical clinic, and Sharia-compliant financial services. Most alarming, the enclave includes a fortress-like residence constructed directly beside the Plano Police Academy—strategically positioned to overlook restricted law enforcement areas and tactical assets. They haven’t been hiding—they’ve been operating in plain sight. And no one stopped them.
The East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) is, to put it mildly, a controversial Islamic mega-mosque based in Plano, Texas. It is widely known for its radical resident scholar, Yasir Qadh, and its aggressive expansion across North Texas.
What began as a modest community mosque has transformed into a 76,000-square-foot Islamic complex, making it one of the largest in Texas. Its main prayer hall alone spans 33,000 square feet and can accommodate over 3,200 worshippers. The sprawling campus also includes an entire Islamic school, a multi-purpose hall, youth indoctrination spaces, and Sharia-compliant classrooms—all designed to reinforce Islamic norms and community control.
Over the years, EPIC has built significant political and financial influence, positioning itself as far more than just a mosque. It has become a hub for ideological control and community structuring, using its infrastructure to advance Sharia-based systems within a Western civic framework.
Now, EPIC is under intense public scrutiny for its latest and most ambitious project: the construction of EPIC City—a massive, Sharia-adherent residential and commercial enclave being developed nearly 40 minutes from its current Plano headquarters.
EPIC City is not just a housing development. It is a deliberate blueprint for a self-contained Islamic community, built around Sharia principles and insulated from public oversight. The 402-acre project will include over 1,000 homes, a mega-mosque, an Islamic school, retail centers, and senior housing—all structured to function within an Islamic legal and social framework.
The announcement of EPIC City triggered massive public outrage, fueled in part by a series of hard-hitting investigations by RAIR Foundation USA. RAIR also exposed EPIC’s long-term strategy to replicate the insular, Sharia-compliant enclave it has quietly organized in Plano over the past decade—only this time, on a much larger and more secluded scale. In response to mounting public pressure and questions over multiple potential legal violations, Texas state officials have launched multiple investigations into EPIC City and its shadowy developers.
At a public hearing held Monday by the Collin County Commissioners Court to address the growing backlash, Retired Lieutenant Douglas Deaton—a 26-year veteran of the Plano Police Department and a recognized expert in SWAT tactics and urban threat analysis—confirmed what many residents had long feared. In explosive testimony, Lt. (Ret.) Deaton warned that EPIC City is not a new idea at all, but rather a larger replication of the Sharia-aligned enclave already operating for years around EPIC’s mega-mosque in Plano. Now the head of RDR Investigations & Crisis Management—a licensed private investigation and consulting firm—Deaton spoke with the authority of both firsthand experience and ongoing professional expertise.
“There seems to be a general misunderstanding that we’re talking about a plan to build an Islamic Sharia-friendly community,” Lt. (Ret.) Deaton said. “The EPIC neighborhood already exists in Plano. It’s been there for nearly 12 years.”
Lt. (Ret.) Deaton explained that the new 402-acre project—located just 30 minutes from downtown Dallas and branded as a “faith-friendly master-planned community”—is simply a scaled-up version of what EPIC has already built in Plano: a closed, religiously exclusive neighborhood anchored by a mosque, Islamic school, medical clinic, commercial businesses, and Sharia-based financial institutions.
……..Despite Deaton’s explosive revelations, local and state officials have remained largely silent about the Plano EPIC enclave, which has been in existence since 2013, raising urgent questions about whether public institutions willfully ignore evidence to avoid political backlash.
Deaton emphasized that despite the visibility of these developments, no local authorities have publicly questioned the religious exclusivity or ideological goals of the Plano neighborhood, nor the security risks of locating a Sharia-enclave directly next to police tactical infrastructure.
“Local government decision-makers have failed to ask hard questions for fear of negative publicity and being labeled as bigots,” Deaton said.
“I’m not here to spread innuendo or to make unfounded accusations. I’m asking everyone to simply look at the evidence and the confirmed facts that are already in existence.”
………Islam is not a race. It is a belief system—a totalizing ideology that governs law, finance, family, speech, and society. Even radical CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper has admitted: “Islam is an ideology. It’s not a race.” Muslims span every race and ethnicity, and people convert to Islam every day. Criticizing Sharia is no more “racist” than opposing communism, Nazism, or any other supremacist legal system. The attempt to brand critics as “racist” is not about protecting people—it’s about silencing debate.
These muzzie jihadists shouldn’t be allowed into America, let alone in our neighborhoods.
This is their avowed goal:
Islam is diametrically opposed to every Constitutional principle on which this country was founded. Under the muzzie point of view, Sharia law trumps all other laws. It’s meant to overtake and replace all Western civil, criminal, and government jurisdiction. The founding principles of this country did not hinge on a violent ideological theocracy that advocated the deaths of those who didn’t hold the same religious beliefs. Letting them thrive here is suicidal.
Muzzie extremists have taken over towns in America including Paterson, NJ, Dearborn and Hamtramck Michigan, and Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The Muslim Brotherhood, the Arab-American Action Network, and CAIR, three major facilitators of Islamic terrorism, operate freely in the United States.
What the hell are they doing here? They have no damned business being in this country.
While we’re deporting illegals, include the muzzies in the flight manifests.
