Intercessor, have you heard of EPIC City? This 400-acre “all-Islamic” community in Texas has attracted criticism from around the nation.
Join others crying out to the Lord day and night.
In a recent article, the Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC) shares more about this community:
According to EPIC City’s website, the development, which the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) announced in 2024, will be “a community aimed at serving the needs of the Muslim community” that “brings Islam to the forefront.” It will feature 1,000 homes, a K-12 Islamic school, a mosque, apartments, health centers, commercial shopping, and even a community college – in theory, residents won’t ever have to leave the compound.
While EPIC City initially garnered little media attention, local residents and online influencers have thrust it into the spotlight. Amy Mek, founder of the organization Resistance Against Islamic Radicals (RAIR), has been a particularly vocal critic, posting footage from community meetings of Texans opposed to the project.
In one clip Mek posted on X earlier this month, a woman who identifies herself as the daughter of a Guatemalan immigrant explains why she believes it is wrong that the developers of EPIC City are aiming to create an Islamic compound separate from the rest of the community.
“We didn’t come here to build a Guatemalan Catholic compound,” she said. “We assimilated. We became American. Why is EPIC building a city where everything is Islamic – the school, the mosque, the fitness center, even the medical clinic? That’s not diversity. That’s ideological takeover. This is not okay with the American people.”
As AMAC notes, concerned citizens and elected officials alike have taken issue with this community. Governor Greg Abbott, Attorney General Ken Paxton, and Senator John Cornyn have all spoken out against the community.
The biggest fear for many is that EPIC City will adopt Sharia law, a harsh “system of Islamic religious principles derived from the Quran,” according to AMAC. Sharia law has been used in Islamic nations to harm or even kill those who run afoul of Islam’s moral code, earning condemnation from human rights organizations around the world. Some are reporting that EPIC has already created a “Sharia-controlled enclave.”
Additionally, as AMAC notes, EPIC City seems to be the “antithesis” of the “nation of immigrants” and “melting pot” that is America. The articles notes that:
Assimilation and integration are critical for the successful migration of peoples to America. The melting pot only works when all Americans, no matter how long they have been here, embrace being part of one shared society.
EPIC City should concern all who value America’s Christian identity and heritage. Let’s pray that Sharia law and Islam would have no place in our nation!

Jesus, This is compromising You and Your Word by enabling and tolerating worship of demonic allah! This also may allow sex trafficking and slave labor for women who will not be allowed to leave this isolated city! These Islam believers may try to expand Islam into other parts of our beloved USA! This is subtle demonic activity in the name of tolerance! Thank You for showing us how to DELIVER THE GOSPEL TO THESE PEOPLE IN THIS GOD-FORSAKEN ISLAMIC CITY! JESUS, I REMIND YOU OF Romans 8:28 so You can turn this God-forsaken city into REVIVAL LAND for GOOD, PERMANENTLY!!! ! In Your Name, Jesus Christ, Amen!
Soon we will have to make little communities of America again.
Those people should be stripped of their citizenship and deported. When they come to America they are supposed to assimilate into the American Culture. They are not supposed to create a city separate from Americans and establish their own culture and schools. This is 100% against the Constitution of the United States. This is what the Cartels do in Mexico. They will soon want to secede from the Union or Texas and create their own state or country. Then they will want special Representation in Congrss and the Senate just like the Muslims do here. This is just the beginning.
We as believers should be praying Psalms 1 & 2 over this great nation that God would remove those who are not for Him and bless those who are for His Word to be preached across this great nation. Pray Psalm 1 and Psalm 2 over us all in this America!
