Texas Is Losing Control: Islamic Threats Cancel Another Event — Jews and Christians Silenced and Intimidated Again

Posted on by Constitutional Nobody

A major pro-Israel summit led by Christian leaders just outside Dallas has been canceled, not because of war in Gaza, not because of riots in Europe, but because of terror threats in Texas.

The Israel Summit 2024, a three-day event bringing together Jews and Christians to stand with Israel, was shut down after law enforcement, intelligence officials, and private security confirmed that the gathering had been elevated to a “high-threat event.” Venues pulled out. Organizers were threatened. The FBI was involved. And in the end, Jewish safety could not be guaranteed.

This isn’t about geopolitics. It isn’t about foreign policy. It’s about the safety of American citizens and their First Amendment right to peaceably assemble without fear of terrorism. Full stop.

Jew-Hatred, Not Foreign Policy

The people issuing these threats didn’t care about nuanced debates over Israeli policies or peace plans. They targeted the event because it involved Jews gathering proudly and publicly, and that alone was enough to unleash a flood of rage and intimidation.

“This is America in 2025,” said former U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman. “A pro-Israel conference… was forced to cancel because of threats from violent jihadists.”

The mob didn’t just force one venue to cancel; they also targeted another. They forced two separate locations to shut down. The original location was abandoned due to security threats becoming unmanageable. The backup venue, a property owned by televangelist Kenneth Copeland, was outed by pro-Hamas activists and subjected to similar threats. They caved too.

Organizers stated that they collaborated with the Texas Rangers, the FBI, and the sheriff’s department. It didn’t matter. The hatred and threats were too strong.

The Radical Coalition Behind the Threats

The campaign to shut it down was led by Islamic groups and their left-wing allies: the Palestinian Youth Movement Dallas, Students for Justice in Palestine, and the Jewish Voice for Peace, a radical group known for its open collaboration with Hamas supporters. They branded the gathering a “Genocide Summit,” doxxed the new location, and flooded the internet with threats.

Their goal was not to protest Israeli policy. It was to shut down the Jewish presence. To make Texas unsafe for Jews who refuse to hide.

And they succeeded.

This is what jew-hatred looks like in 2025: it wears a keffiyeh, carries a protest sign, and posts your location online.

And it will not stop with the Jews. These are the same forces that smear Christians as “white supremacists” for supporting Israel. The same people who label Hindus “genocidal” for defending their homeland against jihad.

RAIR Foundation USA has been on the front lines, warning Texans of the threats posed by these radicals to Jewish, Christian, and Hindu communities. So it should come as no surprise that this level of violent antisemitism is erupting, especially when Texas mosques like the controversial East Plano Islamic Center are openly radicalizing the next generation to hate Jews.

CAIR and the Silencing of Christian Women

This was not the first time terror-linked intimidation silenced voices in Texas.

Just weeks before Jewish and Christian leaders were forced to cancel the Israel Summit due to credible jihadist threats, a group of peaceful Christian women were driven off the Capitol steps in Austin. Two Texas-based grassroots organizations, Accountability Matters and Defending Our Republic, had planned a lawful protest against the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), an organization with documented ties to Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, and decades of subversive activity inside the United States.

Their effort to expose CAIR’s growing influence over Texas law, education, and law enforcement was met with a coordinated campaign of threats and defamation. The intimidation was so severe that organizers were compelled to cancel the event for the safety of their families. The same Capitol that welcomes CAIR’s annual lobbying events has become too dangerous for Christian women to peacefully assemble.

Islamic-linked mobs are now deciding who may speak, who may gather, and who must remain silent in the state of Texas. This is no longer a theoretical concern, as politicians and media figures continue to claim. It is a real, coordinated, and escalating threat.

The cancellation of the Israel Summit was not an isolated incident. It marked the next phase in an increasingly dangerous pattern, one that began with silencing Christian voices and is now driving Jews into hiding.

This pattern of intimidation and ideological aggression is not limited to street-level threats or canceled events. It is being cultivated, reinforced, and normalized inside Texas mosques and schools, starting with the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC).

EPIC’s Radical Education Network

While Jewish and Christian Texans were being silenced through coordinated threats and intimidation, RAIR Foundation USA uncovered disturbing new evidence exposing the extremist agenda of EPIC, one of the most politically active mosques in the state. On March 14, RAIR released exclusive footage from a past fundraiser held at EPIC for its affiliated school, Qalam Collegiate Academy (QCA), revealing an aggressive campaign of anti-Israel and antisemitic indoctrination targeting children.

Founded in 2013 as a for-profit Islamic school and restructured as a nonprofit in 2017, QCA was officially merged into EPIC’s educational arm in 2023 under EPIC Preparatory Schools. While marketed as a provider of “holistic education rooted in faith values,” the reality is far more dangerous: the school is functioning as an ideological training ground for political radicalism.

At the EPIC-hosted fundraiser, students were dressed in Palestinian attire and performed choreographed anti-Israel presentations. Class after class chanted “From the River to the Sea”, a genocidal Hamas slogan calling for the eradication of Israel. Maps labeled “Palestine” were displayed with Israel erased entirely. Children waved Palestinian flags and recited political slogans aimed at delegitimizing and destroying the Jewish state.

This is genocidal indoctrination hiding behind the thinnest disguise of education.

From Indoctrination to Jihad: EPIC’s Youth Agenda

EPIC’s efforts to shape the next generation do not end with public performances. The mosque’s Youth Director, Ustadh Morad Awad, has delivered explicit lessons designed to radicalize students against Jews, Israel, and the United States. His presentation, “Palestine Occupation Explained: For Kids!” portrays Jews and Americans as enemies of Islam and glorifies violent resistance.

In a sermon delivered at EPIC on November 4, 2023, less than a month after the October 7 Hamas massacre, the mosque’s Director of Education, Mohamad Baajour, glorified the attackers and declared that “every true Muslim would love to die” as a martyr like the people in Gaza. He praised them for having “thrown horror” into the hearts of Jews and called on Allah to “defeat their enemy”—all of it streamed on EPIC’s official YouTube channel without consequence.

Meet the Radical Behind the Mosque

None of this should come as a surprise, considering the record of EPIC’s spiritual leader, Yasir Qadhi. A central figure in Islamic political circles in Texas and all across the world, Qadhi has repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and has praised the BDS movement, a campaign that seeks to economically strangle Jewish businesses, mirroring early Nazi tactics. He has boasted that BDS has “demonstrated its effectiveness” and called for an “expert panel” to make the boycotts more targeted and destructive.

Qadhi’s extremism is well-documented. He has declared that Jews and Christians are “filthy” and that their lives and property may be taken in jihad. He has justified the taking of women as sex slaves during war, praised the Muslim demographic takeover of Sweden as a “halal secret weapon,” and raised money for Hamas-linked charities. He was placed on the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s terrorist watch list and is a graduate of the radical Islamic University of Medina.

He has also denied the Holocaust, promoting The Hoax of the Holocaust and claiming Hitler “never intended to mass-destroy the Jews.” He has quoted The Protocols of the Elders of Zion to argue that Jews have no rightful claim to Israel and has publicly advocated replacing American democracy with Sharia, calling the U.S. a “Pharaonic society” built on slavery. Qadhi was a known disciple of Ali al-Timimi, the Virginia imam now serving a life sentence for inciting jihad against U.S. troops.

This is the ideology guiding EPIC. This is what is being taught to children. And this is what Texas taxpayers are being forced to tolerate and subsidize.

Records just revealed that since 2016, the City of Plano has handed over $219,000 in taxpayer money to EPIC, despite its radical teachings and ongoing law enforcement investigations. Most shocking of all, the latest grant, $142,921, was issued on May 9, 2025, weeks after Governor Abbott ordered state investigations into the mosque and its affiliated entities for “potential criminal activities.”

Blue Ridge: EPIC City 2.0 and the Islamic War on Texas Jews

The threat posed by EPIC is not confined to Plano. What’s happening there is part of a much broader, coordinated agenda, one that’s already taking root in other Texas communities under different names but with the same ideological objectives. Just miles away, in the rural town of Blue Ridge, a near replica of the EPIC model is being quietly constructed. Branded as Qariyah of Princeton and Baladeyah, these developments are designed not as typical housing projects, but as self-contained Islamic enclaves grounded in Sharia-aligned governance and openly hostile to Jews, Christians, and the American constitutional order.

These are not isolated experiments or private communities. They are part of a deliberate colonization strategy driven by developers with documented ties to Hamas sympathizers, anti-Jewish indoctrination networks, and legal operatives who have already attempted to gut Texas’s anti-BDS protections through municipal agreements. By every military definition, these are footholds, staging grounds for building strength against the United States.

One of the central figures behind the Blue Ridge project, Suhana Karim, publicly praised the October 7 Hamas massacre of Israeli civilians, an atrocity celebrated by Muslims around the world. Although her name was quietly scrubbed from some of the project’s public-facing records following RAIR’s exposé, she reportedly remains deeply involved through her role as Manager of Hamra Princeton 18, LLC and Purchase Manager for its parent company, Hamra Homes, LLC, which continues to co-own and advance the development. The personnel may be obscured, but the ideology driving the project remains fully intact.

Grassroots Texans Fight Back

Local opposition to the project has been fierce. Morgan Collier, a dedicated advocate from Accountability Matters, confronted the Blue Ridge City Council directly, demanding to know why a known Hamas sympathizer was tied to a Texas development and why no one in elected office was doing anything about it.

Lawmakers Remain Silent as the Threat Spreads

Despite overwhelming concern from residents, city officials continued to advance the project in near-total silence. Even after a developer publicly celebrated the mass murder of Jews and described it as a “victory over the West,” not a single Texas legislator intervened.

The Israel Summit was canceled out of fear. Meanwhile, the Blue Ridge development continues to advance not because the threat has disappeared, but because the Texas government refuses to investigate the growing danger not only to Jews, but to all non-Muslims and Texans as a whole.

Texas Imams Are Preaching Genocide—On Camera

The Texas government’s refusal to act in the face of growing jihadist threats, especially those targeting Jews, is nothing new. In 2017, Houston-based Imam Raed Saleh Al-Rousan, founder of the Tajweed Institute, delivered a Friday sermon openly inciting the murder of Jews, quoting the Hadith that calls on Muslims to kill Jews on Judgment Day. He declared, “The Muslims will kill the Jews… come and kill him.”

His mosque posted the sermon online. There was no documented investigation or action taken. Al-Rousan is just one of many imams in Texas caught on camera spreading violent, genocidal rhetoric against Jews and other non-Muslims. At the same time, state officials continue to look the other way.

This is no longer a warning. It is a clear and dangerous pattern first silencing Christians, now forcing Jews into hiding, and ultimately aiming to remake Texas communities in the image of a foreign, theocratic ideology.

Another Mosque, Same Hate

And Al-Rousan is not an isolated case. At Masjid Bilal in Houston, where New Orleans terrorist Shamsid Din Jabbar reportedly worshipped, Imam Mohammed ElFarooqui preached that Allah turned Jews into monkeys, pigs, and rats for defying religious law, as Islam defines it. He accused Jews of creating havoc “everywhere on the face of this earth” and prayed for Allah to “send soldiers” to destroy Zionists. In an earlier sermon at the same mosque, Imam Eiad Soudan justified Hitler’s actions by claiming Jews “dominate the economy” of every country they enter. This is the level of open antisemitism being spewed from Texas pulpits, with little to no state action, investigation, or consequences, which is troubling.

Islamic Center of Frisco: Preaching Hate With a 501(c)(3)

At the controversial Islamic Center of Frisco, just north of Dallas, Imam Ghaith Arodaki delivered a Friday sermon on December 29, 2023, declaring that Jews are “cursed by Allah,” accusing them of controlling the media, financial systems, and spreading “corruption, fornication, and murder.” He insisted the conflict “did not start on October 7,” but with Satan himself, claiming Jews are guided by Satan and have been manipulating the world for centuries. His hate-filled tirade was streamed live on the mosque’s YouTube channel without consequence.

RAIR previously exposed that the Islamic Center of Frisco appears to be violating its 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status, using the mosque as a platform for political campaigning, Sharia governance, and ideological indoctrination. Despite this clear breach of federal law, alongside the mosque’s livestreamed antisemitic sermons, no investigation has been launched. Once again, Texas officials remain silent while Islamic institutions openly weaponize religion to erode constitutional law and incite hatred against Jews.

Terrorist Propaganda in Houston Streets

As we have known for a long time, the incitement isn’t limited to mosques; it’s been taking over the streets. On April 5, 2024, at an Al-Quds Day rally in Houston, speakers praised the October 7 Hamas massacre, called martyrdom “a goal,” and quoted Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, declaring that “the cancerous tumor of Zionism will be destroyed.” Participants chanted, “With our soul and our blood, we will redeem you, Al-Aqsa,” and “HPD, KKK, IDF—they’re all the same.” Organized near the Israeli consulate and linked to the Houston Islamic Education Center, the event openly glorified jihad, Intifada, and martyrdom on American soil. This is not free speech. It is terrorist propaganda, celebrated in public, and ignored by Texas authorities.

And it wasn’t the first time. Just one year earlier, on April 14, 2023, the same Houston Islamic Education Center promoted the International Al-Quds Day rally, where speakers again called for the annihilation of Israel and praised Palestinian terrorists. A Muslim religious leader shouted, “We will continue to resist until this Zionist cancer is uprooted from the face of the Earth,” as the crowd echoed back, “Death to Israel!” The event honored Ibrahim al-Nabulsi, a militant killed in a firefight with Israeli forces, as a martyr and hero, urging children not to “let go of the rifle.” This wasn’t some obscure back-alley demonstration; it was public, coordinated, advertised online, and sponsored by the Palestinian Youth Movement, now infamous for its role in shutting down Jewish gatherings across Texas. The pattern is unmistakable: jihadist rhetoric isn’t just being preached, it’s being normalized, repeated, and cheered on Texas streets.

It’s Time to Investigate, Defund, and Shut It Down

So, no, it is not surprising that the Israel Summit was canceled. What is shocking is that Texas lawmakers have allowed this to fester for years. While Jewish and Christian events are shut down over terror threats, the very groups fueling that hatred are expanding, with help from taxpayer-funded grants, political protection, and special treatment and comments from city officials.

Instead of investigating these extremist networks, cities like Plano are handing them public money. Officials are smiling for photo ops inside mosques that glorify martyrdom, deny the Holocaust, and preach the destruction of Jews and Christians.

This isn’t just appeasement. It’s complicity. And unless Texas leaders act now, the threats we’re seeing today will become the new normal.
