NO Sharia in TEXAS: Paxton LAUNCHES Probe on Dubai LAND GRAB
from News For Reasonable People · host Sean Reynolds
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has launched an investigation into a development project in Kaufman, Texas, linked to a Dubai-based company, over concerns it may become a 'sharia city.' Paxton stated that while on American soil, everyone must obey American laws, and his office will thoroughly investigate the matter. The probe was initiated after reports suggested that up to 20,000 foreign nationals could be moving to the area. Representative Lance Gooden expressed concerns about the development, particularly regarding the inclusion of mosques or religious buildings. This investigation follows a similar case where Paxton sued to stop the construction of EPIC City, another planned Muslim community in northern Texas, alleging securities law violations. The situation raises questions about foreign investment and local control in Texas communities, and the potential impact on the region's cultural and legal landscape. Paxton's actions have drawn both support and criticism, igniting a debate about religious freedom and national security.
