Last year, many in the news and the media alike scrambled to cover EPIC City, an Islamic development in Texas. Now, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is investigating a new development in Kaufman County.

From the Daily Caller:
The probe centers on allegations that the Dubai-linked project could be an unlawful attempt to establish a “sharia city” on American soil, potentially accommodating up to 20,000 foreign nationals in an unincorporated area of Kaufman County.
Paxton’s announcement directly credits “public reporting” as the trigger for the action. The Daily Caller exclusively reported Feb. 4 on how rural Kaufman County residents had grown increasingly alarmed by a seemingly secretive potential land acquisition by a Saudi Arabian private holding group, SEE Holdings.
The investigation revealed that a buyer from Dubai, represented by a Dallas, Texas, law firm, was seeking approval for three new municipal water districts to support a so-called sustainable city project. SEE Holdings is a firm known for its net-zero developments in Dubai, which often include mosques and community amenities aligned with Islamic principles.
Thanks to SEE Holdings’ ties to mosques and Islamic communities, many fear this new sustainable city project will involve the creation of a Sharia-centered community. And they’re right to fear. Last year, Texans sounded the alarm over EPIC City, an Islamic compound announced by the East Plano Islamic Center. Just like with the city in Kaufman County, many feared that EPIC city would practice Sharia law within its borders.
Texas had become a battleground in recent months, with leaders boldly pushing back against the rampant spread of Islam within its borders. In fact, IFA recently launched a Special Report/Prayer Guide to help intercessors in Texas and beyond pray against the influence of Islam and Sharia. But Islam isn’t just advancing in Texas; it’s in every state across the nation.
Let’s pray against any and all Sharia-centered developments on American soil, and let’s pray for wisdom for leaders like Attorney General Paxton as they work to get to the bottom of these Muslim cities.
