EPIC City: Islamic Law Comes to Texas?
Apologetics Roadshow hosts a humorous two-hour discussion to examine the failed Epic City project — a proposed Muslim-centric community centered around the East Plano Islamic Center, planned on 402 acres near Josephine, Texas. Epic City aimed to include 1,000 homes, an Islamic school, parks, and a mosque, but faced backlash after Yaser Qadhi’s promotion drew attention, prompting Governor Greg Abbott’s opposition to it over Sharia law concerns. Investigations revealed financial mismanagement, unlicensed funerals, and a potential Ponzi scheme, with no progress on permits or infrastructure like water treatment, leading to federal scrutiny and the project’s collapse.
