MODERATORS
A lot of this is a tacit attempt to control Muslim municipal populations be restricting how they govern themselves locally.
So you can step in at the state (maybe federal, if Chip Roy gets his way) level and announce this mayor or judge or city council is illegitimate because the leadership isn't Christian.
Very specifically, this is in response to EPIC City, a master-planned community north of Dallas that's being bankrolled by a group of Muslim real estate developers. But you can see it echoing the disgust conservatives have for Minneapolis and Dearborn, Michigan, with their own large Muslim populations.
Why would they choose Texas for their EPIC city? Is north of Dallas just an area with an existing Muslim population or financially smart area?
Because Texas has an enormous Muslim population - 500k and growing - thanks to the large O&G industry that stretches into Islamic countries.
It also has a large Hindu population, owing to the large number of East Asian expats in the consulting industry.
Probably an existing muslim population. I believe I remember hearing that the largest muslim community in the u.s. was in texas a few years ago. Maybe near houston, I think.
