Governor Abbott directs Texas Rangers to open investigation into EPIC Center

According to the very quick research i did exit polls showed majority of Muslims voted Trump over Kamala. Unfortunately, and I'm not just targeting this demographic, we are in the FAFO phase of this administration. All the writing was on the wall of what was probably going to happen. I'm still (naively) hoping it doesn't get worse but I'm not surprised at this one bit.

Your mum. Look at the replies I gave the other guy. Geez

Like I said- my limited research. I literally just googled "Muslim vote" and looked at the news articles that popped up. I thought it was pretty clear I didn't do a doctorate thesis research on it.

You came to a wrong conclusion

And from the last article: Nationally, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, one of the largest Muslim advocacy groups in the country, which has been sharply critical of Biden’s foreign policy, conducted its own postelection survey of Muslim voters. Just 20% of respondents said they backed Harris, compared to 69% who said they backed Biden in CAIR’s 2020 exit poll.

All but one of these links reference the same poll done by CAIR, which polled around 1,500 people. It's estimated that there are over 2 million Muslim voters in the United States, so that doesn't mean very much to me. The link that doesn't refer to this poll is specific to Dearborn only. I don't think it's fair or accurate to definitively say most Muslims favored Trump over Harris.

OSUBonanza@reddit

1500 is a good sample size, even if it's not good enough for u/deluxeassortment.

Particular-Moment-25@reddit

Still irrelevant to the fact of discrimination and state-sanctioned bigotry. A canard, really.

[-]

Particular-Moment-25@reddit

This just reads like centrist liberal victim blaming ;and ,frankly, it is irrelevant.

If there is discrimination-there is discrimination, irregardless of who the demographic in question voted for.

And it is clear as day to me that this is in fact the case here.

akanefuru@reddit

Not sure if this counts, as a Muslim, my family and extended family (12 individuals) all voted Jill Stein in Collin county.

Per my personal experience most Muslims voted for Stein and to lesser degree Trump. Very few voted for Kamala.

dijavuu@reddit

Most Muslims I knew voted third party or abstained from voting due to Kam supporting the geno side

[-]

lRunAway@reddit

To be fair what i saw online was a healthy vote for jill stein as well. Most of those people probably converted to Trump

[-]

dijavuu@reddit

I doubt that .. but I know Michigan was a big one. But since the USA is owned by Aye PAC, I think Muslims knew what was gonna happen either way.

Religious or not, I cannot fathom anyone supporting this geno Side

[-]

InfernalBiryani@reddit

I don’t condone their choice at all and have criticized them immensely, but among the people I know, those who voted for Trump didn’t do so because they genuinely believed he would be better than Kamala. They only did so to punish Kamala for being part of aiding and abetting Israel’s genocidal campaign.

[-]

Butterfly_Scape@reddit

If their goal was to punish dems they were better off not voting/voting third party. Actively voting for a guy who wants to accelerate the decimation of Gaza is frankly hypocritical

[-]

InfernalBiryani@reddit

I don’t disagree. I think it was a pretty brain dead decision especially for the imams in Michigan to endorse Trump the way they did. Luckily most of the people I know voted third party.

awesomemom1217@reddit

Not a Muslim here. What is the issue? Literally because they’re Muslim?? Have they in any way been a threat to our society? If so, go for it. But if not, then knowing Governor Hot Wheels, it’s just another non-issue for him to have prejudiced people riled up about. 🙄

[-]

dijavuu@reddit

Epic has been around for a very long time. No issues. The Muslims there help each other out, pay their taxes and mind their business. What’s the problem? Not Caucasian enough?

[-]

FarNorthDallasMan@reddit

think it's in retaliation to the all-muslim town property developers affiliated w/ them wanna build. After it became news, he went after them conducting funeral services, and now this.

Doubt epic city developers are going to get half of what they desire, but hey Henry S. Miller got an 11 story apartment approved in Far North Dallas anything could happen.

Oh I thought this was America where capitalistic views win, and republicans were small government! Unless it’s brown people.

I am pretty sure the Fair Housing Act prevents people from not selling houses based on race, gender and religion

[-]

akanefuru@reddit

No houses or lots have been sold. Only shares on an investment to purchase the 400 acres per SEC regulations.

There's no roads, lots, infrastructure to violate any fair housing laws (yet).

[-]

Leading_Campaign3618@reddit

I am thinking that might need to get resolved before the city or county starts running water and sewer

[-]

Onuus@reddit

He wants the entirety of Texas to turn on them so they won’t have any support in gaining traction for their ‘city’.

I’ve been going to the masjid for a while now. I’ve never heard talk of this stupid epic city the governor keeps talking about lol

Possible violations may include discriminatory activity regarding leasing practices to businesses, employment applications and housing. They own a lot of retail and residential property surrounding epic

[-]

dijavuu@reddit

I’ve seen church and Regular communities flat out refuse to lease their properties to Muslims.. it’s so common, sometimes others will have to pose and the interested party so they wouldn’t be turned away..

somethingclever3000@reddit

I thought they were on the side of the baker? Isn’t this (if it’s even true and misinformation drummed up to make EPIC look bad) in the same vein?

How about opening investigations into Chuches that frequently RAPE minors.

He said it out loud, I honestly don't know what else you expect Hot Wheels to do about it...

[-]

OneBadHarambe@reddit

FYI it happens in the mosques, too. Most everyone is on the same page that pedos are disgusting and need to be eradicated. Never had "church" members come before the grand jury and beg/demand to allow the rape of minors to be handled internally by the church. That would be the higher members of the local muslim mosques that did that.

With the CAC shit 90% were direct family members and it nothing to do with religion. So good job bringing that up.

The mosque in mckinney has a shitty back door for women. As much as you people rail on bootlickers you sure love licking the feet of brown people.

Hot wheels, do something useful instead of persecuting people different than you. I'm pretty sure you'd be applauding this if it were for white christians.

Also, weird considering how hard they're pushing Xtianity into every aspect of our lives, whether we believe it or not.

TxDirtRoad@reddit

It would seem a large component is being driven by the nearby communities where EPIC and similar are trying to get communities in place. The Commissioners court public coments... yikes.
