re: Taxpayer-funded TX waterpark announces 'Muslim only' day featuring modest dress and Halal

How many gang rapes and/or honor killings do you bet they'll have?

Private event, not big deal

Thank you for sharing your concern. Actually, this couldn't be further from the truth. A local organization is doing a buyout of our facility on June 1. A number of organizations do thie throught the year. This private event it is not hosted or organized by the waterpark. Like other city-owned facilities, Epic Waters is available for rental by community members, businesses, youth organizations, schools, or faith-based organizations. These groups regularly book our venue for birthday parties, celebrations, youth events, corporate programming, and other activities, including full-park buyouts for large-scale private or ticketed events. As with all rentals, the hosting entity, not the waterpark, determines the event’s programming. Epic Waters is for Everyone

I cant tell the difference between that and bee keeper uniforms on the beach either!

I don't live in north Texas, so I don't care.

This is the kind of ignorance that allows bad ideas to take over the country.

Understanding (1) how our system of government works and (2) that I don't live or vote in Texas is hardly ignorance.

I'm always talking about people who pointlessly complain, but letting Islam thrive in a Western country is retarded.

I'm not a fan of Islam, either, but given the First Amendment, I'm curious what you would do to not "let Islam thrive", as you put it.

It does seem to me that in this case the waterpark is overstepping with the "muslim-only" language, and that should leave them open for lawsuits or at least people choosing to vote with their feet and go elsewhere.

Hopefully that's what happens. But that's for people who live in the dystopian hellscape of the Dallas burbs to deal with.

why does anyone care if a bunch of moose-lambs take over the water park on a monday when anyone else can do same?

This is some of the dumbest shite I've ever seen on this board. This is a taxpayer funded park. They are not allowed to advance any religion, something that's been enforced by decades of Karen lawsuits, mostly targeting Christians.

Why would anyone care about how taxes are spent?? Come on man, if you are seriously asking that you need to go ask your local high school for a U.S. history textbook & read it cover to cover before you're allowed to post again on the /pol/ board

Abbott threatened to with hold funds.

Abbott can be a real idiot. If anyone can rent the facility for a private event, on what basis is Abbott threatening to withhold funds?

It was public, but only for Muslims, hence, the flyers.

Were it a true private event, the flyer invitations to the community at large wouldn't have been necessary. "Muslim Only" wouldn't have needed saying because only muslims would have gotten the invite.

Also, I guarantee you that while I could also rent the space for a private event, if I sent out flyers that only white people were welcome... it'd also be shut down with the quickness.

I would... if it worked all ways equally.

It doesn't though.

"The legislature also passed a bill banning “Sharia Law” in Texas — a law Abbott pointed to when addressing the June 1 celebration, calling the event “religious discrimination” and “unconstitutional” in an X post."
