The majority of those, I believe, in the greater Houston area and in the Dallas-Fort Worth area,

Metroplex and particularly north of Dallas.

But you talked about this is a concept they've used before.

Talk to me about like Epic City or now called the Meadows.

They look at these as garrisons on the frontier of the infidels to ultimately look at taking over their societies and converting people to Islam.

Yeah, so historically what happened is wherever Muslim jihadists would conquer non-Muslim territories, which were a great amount as we know, of course, all of the Christian North Africa and the Middle East were conquered in the 7th century.

Wherever they were stopped by non-Muslims, there they would form garrisons and fortifications.

In Arabic, it's known as ribat, and it comes from a word which means like a tight fastening or a rope.

And it's also in the Quran, it says, form a robot to become successful.

And basically, it would just be a front, they would become front, they would be jihadist par excellence.

And they would be right on the frontier zones.

And there were multiple frontier zones historically, in Asia Minor and Anatolia, in the north and south, in the middle of Spain, because North Spain was primarily Christian at that point, and in the south, and this was would be an area of constant warfare.

So what's happening now, the parallel, is now Muslims are not forming these fortifications wherever infidels stop them.

Infidels are welcoming them in right in the middle of their societies, and they're building organically.

This is why I say it's not even that they're consciously trying to build a Rabat.

It's just when I see it, it's an organic manifestation of the Rabat concept because it's primarily Muslim.

It's an enclave.

It's a hotbed of radicalization.

You see this in Europe.

You're going to see it in Texas, especially if these things come to pass and the growth that you see.
