Controversy Over New Mosque in Texas

over Islamic encroachment in the US.

In McKinney, Texas, the city council voted unanimously

to approve a new mosque and Islamic center,

but many residents there are outraged.

A Sharia law survivor from Iran.

I'm here to tell you this is a dangerous ideology

you're allowing in their country.

They forced our way into countries and forced a religion.

It may become a base where young men and women

will be taught and trained to overthrow this great nation,

a threat for which my forefathers fought with their own blood

to build for the liberty of its citizens.

Yeah, their concerns might have some merit.

Here's what one state representative had to say.

The imam of the McKinney Islamic Association,

Sheikh Mohammed Al-Jabali, holds leadership roles with

the Islamic tribunal of the Dallas area.

The attorney general stated that the group has

sought to replace actual courts of law,

impose Sharia on disputes among Texas Muslims,

and falsely represent its decisions as final judgments

with the approval of the Texas,

without the approval of the Texas judicial system.

Yeah, other Islamic centers and mosques across

the country are also reportedly facing opposition.

In the south, primarily, there you see.

Okay, meanwhile,
