ACTION ALERT TEXAS: Monday, July 28 – Stop Mayor Muns from Using Your Tax Dollars to Fund a Terror-Tied Islamic Group — Plano Needs You Now (Video)

Posted on by Constitutional Nobody

Mayor John B. Muns of Plano, Texas, appears to have granted the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC), led by terror-tied imam Yasir Qadhi, undue influence over the Plano Independent School District (PISD) curriculum and city resources. These concerns, raised by RAIR Foundation USA on April 20, 2025, highlight risks to governance, educational neutrality, and Texas’ Judeo-Christian values.

Adding to the controversy, the Plano City Council is set to vote on Monday, July 28, 2025, to allocate another $37,000 of taxpayer money to the Texas Muslim Women’s Foundation, a group tied to Islamic activists, antisemites, and terrorist sympathizers.

With Plano officials ignoring years of documented radical affiliations, the facts demand urgent public exposure and immediate action. From financial ties to terrorist sympathizers to ideological partnerships with anti-American networks, the Texas Muslim Women’s Foundation poses a direct threat to Plano’s cultural identity and the integrity of its leadership. Below is a detailed breakdown of the evidence, along with the actions residents must take to stop this agenda in its tracks.

Background: Mayor Muns’ Ties to EPIC

Mayor Muns has been criticized for offering EPIC leadership unprecedented access to PISD board members, as shown in a resurfaced 2022 video. EPIC’s imam, Yasir Qadhi, has been linked to dangerous Islamic rhetoric and terrorists. Plano has allocated $219,000 in grants to EPIC since 2016, including $142,921 on May 9, 2025, despite ongoing state and federal investigations into EPIC’s activities ordered by Governor Greg Abbott and the Department of Justice. Additionally, retired Plano Police Lieutenant Douglas Deaton testified that EPIC operates a 12-year-old Sharia-compliant enclave with 74 homes sold exclusively to Muslims, including a fortified residence overlooking police facilities, raising concerns about the group’s intentions and the erosion of Texas’ cultural foundation.

Texas Muslim Women’s Foundation: A Troubling Proposal

The Texas Muslim Women’s Foundation (TMWF), slated to receive $37,000 from Plano’s City Council on July 28, 2025, has a documented history of aligning with extremist groups.

The CEO of TMWF, with a revenue of 4.67M in 2023, is Mona Kafeel. According to her LinkedIn, Kafeel served as “Senior Advisory Board Member” to the City of Plano from January 2018 to September 2022, specifically, to the Mayor.

This connection could be perceived as a conflict of interest at the worst, and bad optics at the least.

Between 2015 and 2025, the Texas Muslim Women’s Foundation received over $11 million in government funds from the State of Texas, which it has used to support Islamic militants and terrorist sympathizers.

In 2011, the Texas Muslim Women’s Foundation co-promoted an event titled “Uncovering the Zionist Myth” with the Hamas-aligned Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and anti-Semitic activist Samir Abed-Rabbo. As the Middle East Forum reported, Abed-Rabbo later appeared to celebrate the October 7, 2023, Hamas massacre in Israel as a “morning of resistance.”

Samir Abed-Rabbo appears to celebrate the beginning of the October 7 attacks, writing “A morning of resistance!”

In 2017, the foundation hosted radical imam Omar Suleiman, who has supported convicted Al-Qaeda terrorist Aafia Siddiqui and endorsed Zakir Naik and Ali Al-Tamimi, both linked to international terror networks.

Suleiman has also publicly called for a third Intifada, a violent uprising against Israel, and has promoted ideologues banned in multiple countries for inciting extremism.

The group also partners with the Muslim American Society (MAS), which the U.S. Department of Justice has described as “the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in America.” MAS’s Dallas chapter has praised convicted Hamas operatives and routinely platforms speakers who glorify terrorism and advocate for global Islamic rule.

This proposed funding raises serious questions about the use of taxpayer dollars to support radical agendas.

These associations aren’t incidental; they reflect a pattern. TMWF has used public funds not to promote genuine civic engagement or women’s empowerment, but to normalize extremists who glorify terror, incite hatred against Jews, and undermine American values.

Plano’s proposed grant of $37,000 may seem small, but it is emblematic of a much larger failure: allowing Islamic supremacist-aligned organizations to launder their reputations through taxpayer-funded legitimacy.

Broader Funding Concerns

Plano’s financial allocations to organizations with alleged militant Islamic ties extend beyond EPIC and the Texas Muslim Women’s Foundation. The city has provided $1 million in grants to the Islamic Association of Collin County (IACC), whose imam, Arsalan Haque, has justified spousal abuse within a Sharia framework. Additionally, $6,000 was granted to the Indian American Muslim Council (IAMC), accused of ties to the terrorist-designated Students Islamic Movement of India, and $1,000 to Islamic Relief USA, linked to Hamas funding. In total, Plano has allocated $1.2 million to organizations with alleged extremist affiliations, prompting scrutiny over the misuse of public funds and the potential erosion of Texas’s cultural identity.

Campaign Finance Red Flags

Mayor Muns’ campaign finance reports reveal troubling patterns that suggest potential external influence. In 2020, Muns reported $19,200 in contributions and a $20,000 loan from an undisclosed source. In 2021, contributions totaled $69,956.95, including $5,200 from likely Muslim donors and another $20,000 loan. A separate 2021 report notes $63,625 in contributions, $7,200 from likely Muslim donors, and a doubled loan of $40,000. A $5,000 donation from American United PAC, a Democratic-aligned group that has supported radical candidates like Rashida Tlaib, further raises questions. In 2020 and again in 2024, Muns reported $5,000 from a single donor, Dallas real estate figure Craig Schenkel, with no Open Secrets record of the donation, and a $43,000 loan, suggesting minimal donor activity in an uncontested re-election.

Implications for Plano

The allegations against Muns and the proposed funding to the Texas Muslim Women’s Foundation point to significant risks:

  • Educational Neutrality: EPIC’s access to PISD threatens to introduce Sharia-based values into public education.
  • Municipal Transparency: The $1.2 million in grants to organizations with alleged extremist ties, alongside the proposed $37,000 to the Texas Muslim Women’s Foundation, demands scrutiny to ensure public funds do not support radical agendas.
  • Cultural Erosion: Accommodations like Ramadan resolutions and funding for groups with extremist ties risk fracturing Plano’s Judeo-Christian heritage.
  • Community Cohesion: Plano’s conservative-leaning voters expect balanced representation, not favoritism toward groups linked to Hamas, Al-Qaeda, or the Muslim Brotherhood.

Recommendations for Action

To protect Plano’s values and restore trust in governance, the following steps are critical:

  • Reject the $37,000 Grant: The Plano City Council must vote against allocating $37,000 to the Texas Muslim Women’s Foundation on July 28, 2025, to prevent taxpayer funds from supporting radical groups.
  • Conduct an Independent Audit: The city should investigate the $1.2 million in grants to EPIC, IACC, IAMC, and Islamic Relief USA, as well as Muns’ interactions with Qadhi, to assess for favoritism or undue influence.
  • Mandate Transparency: Muns must disclose all communications with EPIC, including outcomes of the 2022 PISD meeting, to clarify impacts on educational policy.
  • End Divisive Accommodations: Plano should halt Ramadan resolutions and similar distinctions, focusing on policies that unify the community under Texas’ Judeo-Christian principles.

  • Support Investigations: The city must cooperate fully with Governor Abbott’s investigations into EPIC and share findings with federal authorities to evaluate national security risks.
  • Review Campaign Finance: Plano should examine Muns’ campaign finance reports, particularly the American United PAC donation and undisclosed loans, to ensure no external influence compromises governance.

Protect America

The special access granted to EPIC, combined with the proposed funding to the Texas Muslim Women’s Foundation and $1.2 million in grants to organizations with alleged extremist ties, signals a critical need to safeguard Plano’s governance and Texas’ cultural identity. By rejecting radical funding, implementing transparency measures, and cooperating with state and federal investigations, Plano can protect its Judeo-Christian heritage and ensure accountable leadership. The state’s identity is non-negotiable-Plano must act decisively to remain true to American principles, not a testing ground for foreign agendas.
