Texas Officials Ignored Fury Over Massive Islamic Center Expansion — Now They Face a Recall

 Residents of McKinney, Texas, showed strong opposition to a proposed expansion plan for the Islamic Association during a recent town council meeting, leading to a crowded venue where some attendees had to wait in the hallway. Republican Rep. Keith Self spoke against the expansion, warning of dangers tied to "political Islam" and receiving applause from the audience.

Despite the public outcry, the council voted 7-0 in favor of the expansion. In response, local residents have formed the "McKinney Recall" group, seeking to oust Mayor Bill Cox and council members Ernest Lynch, Justin Beller, and Geré Feltus. The group emphasizes broader concerns about the council's spending priorities and responsiveness.

Rep. Self expressed his support for the recall effort, encouraging residents to sign the petition by the deadline of 5:00 PM on September 26, 2026, to hold elected officials accountable for disregarding community input.
