I can tell you from experience that this community is run mainly by the Baptist church and their politics. I am curious if any of these folks will get run out of town on a rail for this "procedural breakdown."

---

When you say... "this community" what exactly are you talking about?

There is a mosque on 14th, between Los Rios and Plano, FM544. That is Plano... EPIC... East Plano Islamic Center sits there. If you've been to either the Kroger on Los Rios or Wal*Mart on FM544, you will notice a significant number of people wearing a variety of Islamic type garb. Hijabs. Thawb. Dishdashah.

A Baptist Church may have had influence 20... 30 years ago in small town Wylie/Murphy... I'm not so sure that is the case today.

Personally, I think young ladies trying on a hijab is likely them naively looking to accessorize is a fashionable way, without really considering where that will lead them.

You don't know anything about Wylie if you don't understand the power that Cross Church (hanged name in the last two years, but same long time staff as when it was FBC Wylie) has in the city of Wylie. That church runs the city of Wylie and Wylie ISD.

Wylie has nothing to do with East Plano.

I do want to point out that the mosque you mentioned on 544 was the only church/House of worship in Plano, Murphy. Lucas, Parker, Sachse, or Wylie that opened its doors to those who needed shelter from the bad winter storm last week. The only one. Think of how many churches in total that is between all of those towns. The mosque did the same thing in the big winter storm of 2021 when most residents of Plano, Wylie, Lucas, and Murphy lost power for a week and had zero degree temps for most of the week. That mosque and its members truly saved lives that week.

Outside of winter weather emergencies, that mosque does a lot of charity work in Plano and surrounding towns. There is a big difference between American Muslims and radical Saudi Arabian Muslims or Hamas members. I'm not sure why some people aren't able to grasp that.

Maybe it would be helpful if they got the full muslim treatment instead of just wearing a headscarf.

Ban them from getting an education, let their boyfriends and fathers beat them if they are insubordinate, tell them they have to have an authorized male companion to walk around campus or other boys are welcome to abuse and accost them, tell them if they try to stop adherence they can be murdered by their family. Tell them their sons will be indoctrinated to commit suicide to harm Americans and Jews and their daughters will be kept under them thumb of men their whole lives.

You know all the tenants of the religion of peace.

The group was not outside the school. They were in the school. The district has strict policies against what was being handed out (regardless of faith). There are not routine numbers of tables. They have specific days where approved clubs may advertise their existence and allow students to learn more about their clubs. Clubs inviting guests hold the meeting in a separate room and parents are sent permission slips for their student to attend.

Wylie is very diverse but we absolutely have a radical sect of Muslims in our community from Pakistan and Palestine. They ran for the city council and had very strong opinions on Israel's existence. Some stated that they needed to control local to then control state to then control national so they can welcome Islam across America as the new law. Another stated that only when everyone lives under Sharia Law will peace and prosperity truly be possible. They obviously tried to delete these posts once running or made the statements on camera in the mosque...but they got out. Don't get confused that professionals or people with money cannot have radical views (we see that with Democrats and Republicans).

As to FBC - they used to have a lot of power. They have zero people on them city council and only a couple on the school board. That much has changed a lot in the city.

---

I'm just relaying what I have been told by my family. They are smart, level headed Christians. I have no reason to doubt them. But, you are nuts to downplay the power that Cross Church (FBC Wylie) holds over the town and school district.

Zero council members are from that church and zero of the city managers. They do still have multiple members on the school board but not the control they used to. Things have changed a lot in that regard. It is recent but has happened over the last 6-8 years

I live in Lucas, which borders parts of Wylie. My niece and nephew attend school in Wylie ISD. Most people not familiar with the area would be surprised by how diverse that school district is. Lots of students who are Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, etc. ...
The Muslim kids who go to these schools are children of engineers, dentists, doctors, cpa's, etc. Not radicals from Saudi Arabia or members of Hamas. My sister and BIL love that their kids have friends who are Muslim, Hindu, and Buddhist because they are good kids who are excellent students, kind, respectful, aren't out getting drunk on the weekends, and aren't having premarital sex.

I also live in an area, that has been taken over by internationals.

This is my issue:

I dont care if they're dentists, lawyers, doctors, etc...or if they mow lawns. It makes no difference to me. I want people who appreciate being in the USA, and appreciate being in the best State in the USA. I want people who dont want to come here and change it to be the place they fled....but do everything they can to keep it the place it's been.

My experience, this is the opposite of how they act. My neighbors want nothing to do with the community, other than demanding everyone else accommodate their preferences. They stick to themselves, and take almost no steps to assimilating in our society.

They might be awesome people. But their actions come across as very selfish.

Maybe Wylie's different than other parts of the State. I hope so. But in my experience, most of these international residents have no desire to assimilate. That ruins a community, and I absolutely hate it.

The far north Dallas suburbs have or are turning into Indiarabia. And liberal white women like this are complicit

I was there volunteering with my church.I still believe other area churches should have stepped up and opened their doors. I've shared my opinions with my pastor. No Lucas, Wylie, Parker, Murphy, or Sachse churches opened their doors. Or other Plano churches. And Plano has many, many more churches than the few that had some of their people show up to volunteer.

But, thank you, for adding to my post. I meant to include volunteers from other churches. I think this shows that Texans and Americans from different faiths are able to work together for the common good.

What preferences and acomodations are your neighbors demanding?

Should have stoned one of the women dressed in the sheet so they had a better idea of that culture/cult. People need to put four rolls of quarters in a crew sock and bounce it off the face and teeth of those in the school who allowed this, then shove a pound of bacon up the asses of the muslims who played a part.

Do you live in Wylie? I've lived next door to the city for years. I do most of my shopping, eating, etc. there. I have family that has lived and worked there for years. My niece and nephew have done all of their schooling there. So, I have a pretty thorough understanding of the goings on in Wylie.

The city of Wylie had two heating/overnight areas in 2021 as did several area churches. The city of Wylie announced that they were partnering with local churches and the ISD for anyone in need and top open a warming center if needed. A warming center was not needed. Few people lost power and those that did only did so for a short time.

What aren't they demanding?

Literally, the smallest things have become issues. If asked to do a simple thing, and it's not what they want...they simply refuse. How about something as simple as waiting in line at the school drop off for the kid's safety? Forget it. Don't believe me? Go to a school and take notice of who does, and who doesn't go through the line properly. Our schools have BEGGED parents to help them out by following the drop off line, to no avail.

The attitude permeates everything. Schools, the community, the HOA, etc. You name it. Of course I'm generalizing, but absolutely the obvious and overwhelming attitude.

There is zero effort to assimilate. I mean, heck...wasn't Wylie where a muslim-only community was planned? That's the opposite of assimilating.



On a related note, I bet there are a bunch of "student driver" stickers in Wylie.

Diversity can be a strength, if we're all on the same team.

Diversity is a disaster, if it's a bunch of teams in the same area, just looking out for their own interest.

For these Muslims it is a major win to get a white girl in a burka. You can see the thrill in their eyes.

It seems that in this case, your understanding is wrong.

Islam is the religion of peace blow you into pieces.

Wylie and its school district are very heavily influence by FBC Wylie as evidenced by the prominent members of their schools, boards and city that all attend that church. East Plano and Wylie are not the same place. There may be some cross over, but Wylie is not Plano. I've lived there for 15 years, have seen the changes from small town to busy small city, and recognize that you will now see some people who don't look like you walking down the street.

My post was about whether the influence of FBC in Wylie (read, not East Plano) will be enough for some of these folks in charge to be, at the very least, non renewed.

The board president is literally on staff at the Cross Church (formerly FBC Wylie)

---

We lived in Wylie and went to church at FBC from 05-07. I didn't realize they were so influential in politics there. It's amazing how much the place has changed in 20 years. When we were there, they were starting to transition from small farming town to city, but it's completely different now. Sad to see Islam take a foothold there.

The religion seems very oppressive to women, heavily favoring men.

Women are to basically cover themselves up at all times. That's fine, if a woman wants to cover herself in her own clothing and be modest. No problem with that. But when a religion tells you to cover yourself, isn't that oppressive to women? Why would someone want to be forced into that? Sounds like a cult.

Islam knows that to defeat a civilization, you attack its Achilles heel. What is it? Women. Approach women of a different religion, charm them and get them to convert and that is more than half the battle. Women are simple creatures who have not evolved to think deeply about conquest like men have over the millennia. Women are very tactical, you give them a gift, they like you. You say nice things about them, you are a good person. No wonder many women get fooled by sweet talk and end up getting used for sex and dumped.

Women are rarely rational, they can very easily be part of an open society and hate it for some inconvenience, while supporting Islam with its lack of basic freedom for women. Many women don't find any problem with that.

Islam knows this. So they lock up their own Achilles Heel (women) under trash bags called burkas while the men attack non-Muslim women and get them on their side. The goal is to get them to pop out Muslim babies which means islam has won.

Does this really surprise anyone?

Lib women support the current thing. Always. Like good NPC meat puppets.

Remember, lib white gals are all about giving up their sexual role/identity to mentally ill troons.

The left are such cowards. They'd never do this for Christianity but they'll bend over backward to a culture that would imprison them the second they could.

Have any leftists defended this? I'd be surprised if there were many.

WTF cares about Wylie, the problem is ISLAM, or haven't you noticed how much of a cancer it is?

I am hard-pressed to choose which one is worse, Islam or H1B.

Both are cancerous and cause tumors that need to be radiated out.

The time has come to start being completely intolerant of muslims, period. What is happening in Western Europe and the UK is completely unacceptable and they will be facing the consequences very soon.

Here in the US, Texas in particular, we need to roll out the unwelcome mat. Even to the point of banning mosques via law and making any muslim ineligible for elected office. Very soon I will probably be in the "deport them all" camp, regardless of legal status.

There is no other religion or non-religious group (atheists, Scientology, etc.) that would deserve the same, but islam / muslims do.

A lot of the middle easterners are on H1B's, too. They're both largely bad for America, culturally, socially, and economically for native born Americans. The massive influx of immigrants are significant factors in overinflated housing/rent markets, overcrowded, strained infrastructure and public/essential services, stagnant wages/job market,and the rapidly deteriorating social fabric of the country as they are largely unassimilable and care only about them and theirs.

Muslims from Palestine live across the street from me. They are nice on the surface and we are cordial but two of their cars have "End Israel" stickers on them and their wifi network is "End the Illegal Occupation". They attended a big anti Israel event in DC a few years ago. I guarantee you they didn't shed a tear for any Israeli hostages taken in the brutal and barbaric Hamas attack. To me, that's radical and the women of that family seem more fanatical about it than the men as its their cars that are decked out in anti-Israel stickers.

The latter want to kill you for being an infidel. The former are happy to have the latter kill you for being an infidel.

That is the most basic fundamental of Islam. It is a murderous political ideology disguised as a religion.

I have a coworker whose family is from Palestine but he's never lived there. Nice guy, seems to care deeply about his family. Shortly after meeting in person for the first time he told me about how terrible the Jews are.

He doesn't know my wife is Jewish.

I guarantee you he wouldn't be as nice if he knew so.

This is a fatal flaw in Western (white) people, Petrified of being labelled as racists so put up with any kind of bs that non-whites throw.

"Do whatever you want with me, take my money, my job, my house BUT please don't call me a racist".

I wonder if they took the Drivers Licenses away from the women and then said, "just kidding."

I have lived in the Wylie ETJ since 1987. I didn't know that the Cross Church (FBC) still played such a strong role. I knew they used to. About 25 years ago we went to downtown Wylie to Mr Jim's pizza and they wouldn't let us play the jukebox because members from the FBC were coming in soon. My daughter graduated from WHS in 2007 so I've been out of touch with the district. I read the kid who did the video is just a freshman so I guess he wasn't around last year to stop it.
