Part 2/8:
Epic City is envisioned as a Muslim mega city aiming to become a central hub for Islam in America. Located in Josephine, Texas, approximately 20 miles from Dallas, the project is spearheaded by the East Plano Islamic Center. With plans to develop 400 acres into what has been referred to as a religious compound, Epic City has become a flashpoint for opposition among local residents and officials. Critics fear that the establishment of such a community would disrupt the cultural and legal fabric of Texas, introducing elements they associate with religious extremism and oppressive practices.
