A city-owned water park in Dallas, Texas, received heavy backlash for advertising a “Muslims only” day at the facility and was pressured into backing down after several high-profile figures questioned the move on social media.
The private event, set for June 1, would have closed Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark to non-Muslims, which raises legal questions, considering that it gets public funding through a voter-approved sales tax,according tothe Dallas Express.
The 80,000-square-foot park, which has received rave reviews over the past few years, was set to host the “3rd Annual DFW Epic Eid” organized by the East Plano Islamic Center.
After a flyer for the Muslims-only event began circulating on social media, Sarah Gonzales of The Blaze drew attention to it. The original flyer read “Muslim only event,” but was later changed to “Modest dress only.”
“ISLAMIFICATION ALERT Grand Prairie, TX has an indoor water park called Epic Waters (no relation to EPIC city),” she wrote Sunday on the social media site X.
Gonzales added, “It is owned by the city & now has a MUSLIM ONLY event on June 1st, with halal food, and a private prayer area. The event is closed to the public- Muslims only.”
