Racists don’t always wear hoods. Sometimes they wear nametags and proudly announce their GOP precinct number at a public hearing.

Today, a Collin County Commissioners Court meeting turned into a three-hour spectacle of coordinated Islamophobia, as Republicans from across the DFW metroplex descended on a zoning discussion to voice their fury over EPIC City, a proposed Muslim-led, master-planned community near the town of Josephine. These weren’t just local residents concerned about infrastructure or water access. They came armed with talking points about Sharia law, Hamas, “dirty bombs,” and Jesus Christ.

Despite not living in Collin County, speakers introduced themselves by name, political affiliation, and even precinct number. They came from Hunt County, Denton County, Irving, and Dallas. One by one, they lined up to oppose the project, not on legal or logistical grounds but because of who was behind it: Muslims.

And they weren’t shy about it.
