David GoodmanReporting from the suburbs north of Dallas and Fort WorthFeb. 10, 2026Republican officials and candidates in Texas have shifted their rhetorical attack lines from the border fears that dominated recent elections to the state\u2019s growing Muslim population, with language that echoes the aftermath of the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.The rise of anti-Muslim rhetoric has unnerved many in the state\u2019s Islamic community while sending signals to Republicans outside Texas who might be searching for rhetorical targets now that the nation\u2019s southwestern border has grown quiet.Ads for Senator John Cornyn of Texas have touted his fight against \u201cradical Islam.\u201d Texas Republican lawmakers created a \u201cSharia-Free America Caucus\u201d in Congress. Gov. Greg Abbott has labeled one of the nation\u2019s largest Muslim rights groups a terror organization.A \u201cSave Texas from Radical Islam\u201d dinner north of Dallas last month featured Steve Bannon, a former adviser to President Trump, the conservative commentator Glenn Beck and the Dutch right-wing leader Geert Wilders \u2014 and attracted party activists and Texas House members. The State Senate is weighing legislation requested by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick to ensure Texans \u201care never held under the heel of \u2018Sharia law.\u2019\u201dJust on Monday, the state\u2019s hard-right attorney general, Ken Paxton, announced he would investigate a proposed real estate development in Kaufman County, east of Dallas, as a \u201cpotentially illegal \u2018Sharia City.\u2019\u201dThe attacks on Islam are a notable shift for a party that has spent the last several election cycles focused on the Mexican border. Warnings of migrant \u201ccaravans\u201d and a criminal invasion have lost their sting with a Republican in the White House and new policies that have halted most border crossings.ImageSenator John Cornyn, a Texas Republican facing a difficult primary challenge, is running campaign ads denouncing \u201cradical Islam.\u201dCredit...Eric Lee for The New York TimesThat has left the G.O.P. looking for ways to address its voters\u2019 concerns over the number of immigrants who came into the country during the Biden administration while avoiding the increasingly unpopular policy of mass deportations under Mr. Trump.In Texas, concern about Islamic radicalism has recently been polling among the top issues for Republican primary voters, according to Republican campaign consultants. The state party put a resolution on its primary ballot asking whether Texas should \u201cprohibit Sharia law,\u201d a term that refers to Islamic religious rules but has long served as a catchall to signify expansions of Muslim culture and religion that opponents say threaten American values. Mr. Abbott has promised a \u201ctotal ban\u201d through legislation next year, though he has not said what that would mean in practice.\u201cAny event you go to, people ask about it. It\u2019s like the border used to be,\u201d said Dave Carney, the top political strategist for Mr. Abbott. \u201c\u2018What are you doing about Shariah law?

Though Muslims make up around 2 percent of the Texas population, according to the Pew Research Center, the number of Muslim residents in those suburbs has grown significantly in recent decades. Mosques now dot a landscape once dominated by megachurches.\u201cIn the Muslim community there are some who call this the Medina of the U.S. because of how many have migrated here,\u201d Mustafaa Carroll, the executive director of the Dallas-area chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations, said, referring to one of Islam\u2019s holiest cities. \u201cTruthfully, Dallas-Fort Worth, outside of the politics, is just a good place to live.\u201dImage\u201cTruthfully, Dallas-Fort Worth, outside of the politics, is just a good place to live,\u201d said Mustafaa Carroll, executive director of the Dallas chapter of a Muslim civil rights group.Credit...Desiree Rios for The New York TimesA proposal just over a year ago to create a large housing development and mosque outside Dallas, known as EPIC City, alarmed many Republicans, who saw it as a prime example of the growing prominence of Islam in Texas, and helped propel the issue to the top of Republican voters\u2019 concerns.\u201cIt\u2019s a top three issue,\u201d said Nick Maddux, a Republican consultant who represents candidates across Texas, including Mr. Paxton, who is challenging Mr. Cornyn in the state\u2019s Republican Senate primary. \u201cIt\u2019s EPIC.\u201dIslam came up repeatedly on Thursday night at a gathering of several dozen party activists and voters who had come to a restaurant in The Colony, a suburb of Dallas, to support a far-right challenger to the area\u2019s conservative Republican state representative.Trump Administration: Live UpdatesUpdated\u00a0Feb. 13, 2026, 8:39 p.m. ETFeb. 13, 2026Trump files final plans for the White House ballroom.Judge orders ICE to let clergy provide ashes and communion to detained immigrants.Trump says regime change would be \u2018the best thing\u2019 for Iran.\u201cIt\u2019s the hottest topic,\u201d Brooks McKenzie, a Republican activist in Tarrant County, said, while waiting to hear from the candidate, Lt. Col. Larry Brock, an Air Force veteran who served two years in prison for entering the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.Mr. Brock spoke for several minutes about Islam.\u201cWe should ban the burqa, the hijab, the abaya, the niqab,\u201d he said, referring to different head and body coverings worn by some Muslim women. \u201cNo to halal meat. No to celebrating Ramadan. No, no, no.\u201dImage\u201cNo to halal meat. No to celebrating Ramadan. No, no, no,\u201d said Larry Brock, a Republican candidate for state representative who went to jail for his role in the attack on the U.S. Capitol.Credit...Desiree Rios for The New York TimesThe intensifying rhetoric has been disturbing to many Muslims who live in the northern suburbs of Dallas, attracted by work and business opportunities, the availability of housing and the promise of religious freedom.\u201cI fled persecution,\u201d said Mujeeb Kazi, who came from the Kashmir region of Pakistan, and is the president of the North Texas Islamic Council, an umbrella group for mosques in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.Mr. Kazi said there were more than 60 mosques in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, up from around two dozen in the mid-2000s, when his organization was founded.There have been past flare-ups of anti-Muslim sentiment, he said, but never this bad. His face has appeared on political campaign fliers. He said he feared for his children\u2019s safety.Over the years, cultural differences and political campaigns have fueled periodic moments of increased anti-Muslim sentiment in the Dallas suburbs. A decade ago, Beth Van Duyne, the mayor of Irving, Texas, railed against Shariah law, and eventually won a seat in Congress. A majority of Texas Republicans supported a \u201cban on Muslims\u201d entering the country, as Mr. Trump proposed during his 2016 campaign, according to polls at the time.Then the issue receded as Republican voters became focused on the border.But just over a year ago, a group of Muslim investors connected to a large mosque complex, the East Plano Islamic Center, began raising money for EPIC City, which led to a backlash among conservative activists. Protesters became a regular presence outside the mosque.ImageGov. Greg Abbott of Texas has excluded Muslim schools like the one at the East Plano Islamic Center from his school voucher program, although other religious schools are included.Credit...Desiree Rios for The New York TimesMohamed Ebeida, a research scientist who immigrated from Egypt, said often when he and his children would go to pray at the Plano center on Fridays, protesters told them they were \u201cgoing to hellfire.\u201d\u201cDo you want a society where every group alienates each other?\u201d he said.Mr. Abbott and Mr. Paxton began investigations into the proposed development, vowing to never let it be constructed. None of the investigations so far have found any wrongdoing and the proposed community, now known as The Meadow, has been moving forward.That has only fueled the concern among Republican activists. In November, Mr. Abbott issued a proclamation declaring the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, to be a \u201cterrorist organization,\u201d seeking to shut down one of the nation\u2019s largest Muslim advocacy and civil rights groups. The group sued Mr. Abbott over the designation.The governor has also tried to curtail other groups because of what he has said were connections to CAIR. He has targeted the Islamic Games, a Muslim sporting competition, and has so far excluded Muslim private schools from the state\u2019s new tuition voucher program, which includes other religious schools.Some Republicans have justified their attacks as coming out of concern for the future of the country. In Wylie, Texas, Jeff Forrester, a former city councilor and mayor pro tem, said the religious practices of Islam were incompatible with Western civilization and the Constitution.Image\u201cI fled persecution,\u201d said Mujeeb Kazi, president of the North Texas Islamic Council, only to find anti-Muslim rhetoric in Texas.Credit...Desiree Rios for The New York TimesIn his nine years in office, he said, Wylie grew to around 70,000 residents from 40,000, with some of those residents arriving from Muslim countries. \u201cIt changed the dynamic,\u201d he said.\u201cI don\u2019t hate people \u2014 I have the love of Christ in my heart,\u201d Mr. Forrester, who is running for the State House, said. \u201cThe problem that I see,\u201d he added, \u201cis we have that diversity without assimilation.\u201dBut some Muslim Texans say the attacks have made them less likely to seek connections outside of their community and have soured them on the outreach efforts that many hoped would build understanding and tolerance.\u201cThe model for us after 9\/11 was go out and get to know each other, and every mosque had interfaith, every organization had an interfaith relationship,\u201d said Mona Kafeel of the Texas Muslim Women\u2019s Foundation, based in Plano. \u201cWe tried that model. It has not been successful.\u201dJ.
