flag A Texas Islamic city project was canceled after state officials blocked it over Sharia law concerns, despite no illegal activity found.

flag A proposed Islamic-centered city in Kaufman County, Texas, has been canceled after a Daily Caller investigation and pressure from U.S. Representative Lance Gooden and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who launched a formal probe over concerns it could become a "Sharia city." flag The project, led by UAE-based SEE Holding, aimed to develop thousands of acres for up to 20,000 foreign nationals, prompting local opposition over infrastructure, water use, and foreign influence. flag Gooden confirmed developers withdrew their proposal following his intervention, and Paxton stated no such city would be allowed in Texas. flag While no illegal activity was proven, the development’s cancellation follows state actions restricting communities perceived to promote radical Islamic law. flag The project’s fate is now closed, with Gooden calling the matter resolved.
