Frontlines TPUSA is covering the ongoing increase of Hinduism and Islam among the Texas population, including the development of new buildings and communities centered around these religions.
Frontlines Reporter Savanah Hernandez investigated this current phenomenon in the Dallas Fort Worth area. For the first portion of the report, she was accompanied by Blaze TV host Sara Gonzales.
“Since COVID there has just been such a massive influx that is totally changing the demogagphics of our communities,” Gonzales, a Texas native, stated. “Which would be fine if people shaed our values shared our morals, wanted to assimilate onto this country and do things the way Americans do it.”
Today, Hindus contribute roughly to 3 percent of the state’s population.
At a springtime Indian festival of colors known as “Holi,” Hernandez asked celebrants their purpose for celebrating and the general nature of the Indian community in Texas. Randomly one man threw powdered color in Hernandez’s face and the cameraman. This action was repeated by others.
When asked why he relocated, one man at the festival replied that Texas is “just like India.”
Several Hindu temples have been built in the area as well, which Hernandez observed in the report.
The second part of the report shifted to the Muslim population, and a new “Muslim-centric” community in the process of developing called East Plano Islamic Center (referred to by its acronym EPIC) City.

Hernandez interviewed Sameer Siddiquie, President of EPIC Mosque,
“EPIC City is a completely different thing from the mosque, he noted.
“I think the people who want to get their political gains are using this rhetoric against Muslims, especially Epic, if you really understand what Epic does you will get to know it’s not what they’re talking about.
He claimed his efforts are unconcerned with Epic City and “the controversies that have dragged EPIC Mosque into it.”
Hernandez found his claims were untrue, EPIC Mosque being the corporate entity that created EPIC City.
Frontlines also discovered that a Dubai-based developer, SEE Holdings, is currently trying to buy land for another similar ‘Muslim city,’ in Kaufman County.
Individuals in Kaufman County are questioning why a developer from the United Arab Emirates would have an interest in creating a developmental community in an Texas region, which has been unsuccessfully attenmped with other counties whose residents rejected the proposed developments. These failures led SEE Holdings to make the same efforts in Kaufman County according to Daily Caller reporter Mary Rooke, who thinks these same efforts will be made throughout the entire state.
