Get the Popcorn, Texas - Pre-Election Theater! Yasir Qadhi is officially melting down. He just stood in his mosque whining and screaming.... Gov. Abbott “has shut down our janaza.” Gov. Abbott “literally promised that he’s never going to allow our masjid to flourish.” Gov. Abbott “has changed the curriculum to insult your prophet and mine” and “to call our 'religion' by evil adjectives.” And if you won’t spend 15 minutes voting to reverse it: “Shame on you. You don’t even have an excuse… May Allah protect us from the laziness of the likes of you.” Here is what actually got locked into the Texas standards: Muhammad’s military campaigns against Jewish and Christian tribes were brutal. Early Islam normalized slavery and took female captives as harem slaves. Islam motivated the 9/11 attacks. Jihad drove the conquest of Christian lands. The Muslim Brotherhood, al-Qaeda, ISIS, and Iranian proxies are the continuity of that same doctrine. That is the record. That is what survived the full Islamic-leftist pressure campaign. That is what Texas textbooks will now carry nationwide. And here is what else Abbott stopped. Qadhi and the East Plano Islamic Center pushed EPIC City — a 402-acre Muslim-centric development with homes, a mosque, a school, and the rest. Abbott said it plainly: Sharia is not allowed in Texas. Neither are Sharia cities. Neither are no-go zones. Multiple investigations followed. Construction was blocked. Attorney General Paxton sued. The project stalled. Qadhi and his network are not upset about “insults.” They are upset that Texas children will learn the military expansions, the slavery, and the doctrinal drivers of 9/11 without the sanitized version they demand. They are upset that their planned enclave got blocked. They are openly organizing to flip SBOE seats and scrub every line of the standards. He just called non-voters lazy and asked Allah to protect the community from them. The red-green alliance is watching its leverage collapse the night before the election. Texas already beat them on the curriculum and on EPIC City. Tomorrow we hold the line. Vote every Republican who refused to bend. Do not give them an inch. The meltdown is the sound of people who thought they could rewrite your children’s history and build their own city inside Texas. You said no. Keep saying it. Grab the popcorn. Election Day is tomorrow.
