And stop Sharia law in Texas.

Mays Middleton for Texas Attorney General.

So the question that I had was, you know, what's driving this in Texas?

And a major shift that has happened in the state is that the state has become a real hub for Muslims moving to the United States.

There's a really booming population, particularly outside of Dallas and Fort Worth.

And in the suburbs in that area of North Texas, they've just seen a massive increase in the number of Muslim residents, people coming from all over the world, but particularly South Asia.

So Pakistan, India.

I was talking to some associations up there, and they said they used to have maybe a couple dozen mosques in the area, and now they're up

over 100.

So at least for some number of voters, particularly Christian conservative Republican voters, they're looking at this changing population and seeing it as a threat to their way of life.

And so they are telling candidates and telling pollsters that this is one of their top concerns in this election.

You know, there's a real simple reason why Texas has become a place where lots of Muslims now live.

And it's because it's a place where they felt like it was a place where you could, you know, like anyone comes to Texas for the, you know, the bigger homes, for the ability to start a business more easily.

And then for the fact that, yes, you could have a community, a religious community that was more or less left alone to practice its faith, much like, you know, many Christians do in Texas and have taken advantage of for, you know, for generations.

And they really just felt like the kind of the general Texas promise of greater freedom was what brought many of them here.

And now there's a lot of fear and a lot of frustration.

You know, Muslims in Texas are really concerned that a lot of this rhetoric is coming from the very top of the government.

It's the governor, it's the attorney general, it's state leaders, you know, who are really fanning the flames of a lot of the sentiment rather than trying to tamp it down.

And that's made them very worried about the future in the state.
