There is no legal or stated intent to exclude non-Muslims. If there *were* any evidence that they were restricting access based on religion, the state would already be suing, not just tweeting. The fact that they haven't, despite multiple investigations, says a lot. And with Trump being office, they would throw their full weight into suing them over it. Yet?
It's funny how you're quoting the Fair Housing Act like that matters to any of you. Or to anyone Republican like you. Meanwhile, the state of Texas is actively weaponizing the power of their government to go after this project explicitly because it's tied to Muslims. That's a textbook violation of religious freedom and equal protection. But a lot of you are fine with that. Why?
Why is it branded that way?
One of the major spiritual leaders literally said its a muslim town:

It’s hard enough combating evangelical christian influence. Why would I support efforts that expand that to another abrahamic faith?

It doesn’t actually matter what *you* support. And it's not "Muslim only." Just stick to the part in bold, because that's the real justification here for why you support this. You're objecting to the people involved. Be honest about it.I don’t support “christian only” areas and I definitely don’t support “muslim only” ones, especially given how incompatible islamic conservatism is with the United States.
This ain’t Manchester, bruv
It's hilarious how you quoted the Fair Housing Act
Yeah. It does, actually.
This is like when yall were supporting Hamas and not “palestinians"
I dont think EPIC City residents know this…

I read the MEMRI article. He talked about Muslims exercising constitutional rights, not creating a "Muslim town." If you have a direct quote saying that, post it, otherwise stop making stuff up. MEMRI is notorious for cherry-picking and decontextualizing Muslim speech to stoke outrage too, and the fact that you're posting it only reinforces that this isn't about fair concern, but propaganda, like everything you post. If you people are so sure in your beliefs, then why lie and try to manipulate people?Why is it branded that way?

Edit:I'm sure the Christian cults and Jews say the same thing
Why aren't you out there advocating for the shut down of Christian towns, gated Mormon communities, or Hasidic villages using state power? If you believe the standard is "all religions say this," why is it only the Muslims getting the investigations, lawsuits threatened, and smear campaigns? Be honest about the double standard or stop pretending this is about principle. It is crazy to me how y'all are willing to go along with this because the *right* people are being targeted.

I've likely made threads or posted about it over the years so I have. I chipped in my 2 cents here.
Raping and killing children is wrong? Can we agree on that?
I remember a few crazy ones over the years ie Jeffs

the full weight of state and the federal government should be used to exterminate them
You're trying to make this into something it's not or at least for me

Earlier this month East Plano Islamic Center resident scholar Yasir Qadhi gave an update on the project, which he said would be a "Muslim neighborhood" while being "well integrated" into the wider community.
Listen to his actual words
The guy literally wants sharia law
Is this your boy praising Haniyeh?

Idk how you can say only xyz is oppressing Muslims when they do in fact go after Mormons and Hasidics. I think they should be regulated even more strictly. They're criminal organizations masquerading as religion.
say what you want, the FBI doesn’t play that shyt. Thankfully.
