Retired Texas police lieutenant David Grantham has raised alarms about the EPIC City project near Dallas, describing it as "phase two" of a Sharia-compliant enclave already operating for 12 years in Plano, Texas. Grantham warns that this new development by the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC), planned to span over 400 acres, is intended to establish a separate, self-contained Islamic community governed by Sharia law, following the model of the existing EPIC mosque and surrounding area.
