And during the Biden administration, literally no checks at all such that we were importing criminals, not just immigrants from countries that literally hate America and would like to see us wiped off the face of the earth.

But Epic City is really the first documented attempt to basically put all the pieces together from the religious, to the political, to the governance, to the HOA, to the funding,

into one community and basically attempt to create a large thousand plus resident enclave that's basically defined by Islam.

While the contracts don't say explicitly, you can't live here if you don't do X or Y, all of the other information we have is,

is that it is basically an attempt to, abiding by our current laws, create an enclave of what is basically an Islamic enclave within the heart of Collin County communities.

And the problem with that is, first of all, there's many constitutional problems with basing these things on race.

But one of the issues is that our laws are not designed for ideologies

that have a religious kind of bent or basis to them such that the Supreme Court has said so broadly about what is and is not religious that we have to really

have these strategy sessions and get thoughtful and strategic about what we're going to allow with respect to these pseudo religious or ideological enclaves.

Because if we don't get creative and strategic soon, there are people from all cultures, but specifically the threat we're facing now from the Sharia law and radical Islamic jihad now,

is that they're using our own laws and provisions that are designed to keep the government out of all of our other businesses about when we want to move somewhere where people share our faith, or we want to start a church, or we want to meet in our houses for religious services.

They're using those laws that Christians have used and our constitution to beat back threats to our religious rights to basically enforce the ability to create these enclaves.

And you couple that with the fact that we've had cities, Steve,

just that have not matched the ideological bent of the state or the legislature.

So they're basically like Plano, for instance, embracing this.

So the legislature makes laws saying that the cities can't take specific zoning decisions, which we're applauding and saying, yeah, cities can't take specific zoning decisions, but you're also taking

tools out of the hands of the good cities, the ones that are conservative, the ones that do share our values and look like the rest of the state, from being able to address these concerns.

So we have got to get smarter and more strategic about how we deal with these threats, and it needs to be quick.

And I tend to agree with Brian Harrison, at least on this.

I'm not sure if we can just wait for regular sessions every two years to address this problem
