Groups that back these land developments such as The Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR have been designated as terrorist organizations by the state of Texas. Members have openly practiced Sharia Law in their own communities. In 2007-2008, the Holy Land Foundation trial linked early CAIR founders to supporting Hamas. It has been well documented that they advocate for a societal restructuring based on Sharia law. It pushes Islamization, with goals to establish an Islamic state. Countries such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Russia have also designated the group as a terrorist organization.

Buyers of residential plots in the EPIC City (now referred to as "The Meadow") development were required to pay funds that would go toward the construction of a new mosque, school, and other facilities. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) initiated an investigation into these financial terms, alleging they constituted "discriminatory financial terms that required lot owners to subsidize a mosque and Islamic educational centers.

I can see why some may be concerned about outsiders buying up Texas land and discriminating against non-Muslims to develop a Sharia Law enclave. I've been looking into this subject more because it's gaining a lot of attention nationwide.
