Texas Governor Greg Abbott has said "a dozen state agencies" in the Lone Star State, along with Attorney General Ken Paxton, are investigating plans by the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) to create a new Islamic focused settlement dubbed "EPIC City" in Collin and Hunt counties.

The article from MSN discusses Texas Governor Greg Abbott's comments on a proposed Muslim city project in Texas. The project, known as "The Colony," aims to create a community where Muslims can live according to their faith and traditions. Governor Abbott has expressed concerns about the project, particularly focusing on potential issues related to Sharia law and its compatibility with U.S. laws. He emphasized the importance of ensuring that any development adheres to American legal standards and does not infringe upon the rights of others or the established legal framework. The project has sparked a debate about religious freedom, cultural integration, and the balance between community autonomy and state governance. Abbott's statements reflect a cautious approach, highlighting the need for thorough review and public discourse before such a significant cultural and legal integration takes place.
