Why Was the DOJ Investigating?
The federal probe was prompted by Senator John Cornyn and others who raised concerns that EPIC City might unlawfully limit housing access to Muslim residents or impose religious law over civil authority.
After reviewing internal documents and assurances from the developers, the DOJ determined that no religious discrimination was present, and that the development would remain open to all buyers, regardless of faith. The probe was closed with no charges filed and no violations cited (KERA).
Is Sharia Law a Concern?
One of the persistent public fears surrounding the project has been whether Sharia law would be practiced or enforced in EPIC City.

@BrandNewMan I agree! I have read that places like Dearborn Michigan have their own Sharia court system.
It does not supersede the U.S. courts, but it IS used for Muslim issues. A Muslim can seek help from outside, but they
will be ex-communicado, to use a John Wick saying.
