A bombshell revelation has rocked the Texas Attorney General race as details emerge about a controversial bill that could fundamentally change how religious communities establish themselves in the Lone Star State. State Senator Mayes Middleton, now running for Texas Attorney General, authored Senate Bill 854 in January 2025 - legislation that would strip local governments of their constitutional authority to block religious housing developments, including Islamic cities.
The bill, disguised as a solution to Texas's housing shortage, represents a direct assault on local governance and community self-determination. Under Middleton's proposal, towns and cities would lose their ability to say 'no' to large-scale religious developments that could fundamentally alter the character and values of their communities.
Patriots across Texas are sounding the alarm about this dangerous legislation. Social media user @MrLuigiMucci warned fellow Texans: "MY TEXAS FRIENDS KNOW THIS NAME.. STATE SEN. MAYES MIDDLETON! AUTHORED A BILL THAT WOULD STRIP LOCAL GOVERNMENTS OF THEIR ABILITY TO BLOCK RELIGIOUS HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS, INCLUDING THE CREATION OF ISLAMIC CITIES."
A Trojan Horse for Sharia Law?
While Middleton frames this as housing reform, the implications are far more sinister. This legislation could open the door for the establishment of Islamic enclaves operating under Sharia law principles - something that has already caused massive problems in European countries like France, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
Local zoning laws exist for a reason: to protect communities and ensure development aligns with local values and needs. By stripping away this fundamental right of self-governance, Middleton's bill represents a betrayal of conservative principles and the very concept of local control that Republicans have fought to preserve.
Texas voters deserve to know: Is this the kind of "conservative" leadership they want as their top law enforcement officer? How can someone who undermines local authority be trusted to defend Texas values as Attorney General?
The question facing Texas Republicans is clear - will they stand with a candidate who forces unwanted development on local communities, or will they choose a true conservative who respects the rights of Texans to govern themselves?
