The Muslim Brotherhood once outlined a plan that “involved softening America through cultural influence, political infiltration, and demographic expansion,” as one ex-Muslim observer related it. And now critics have an Exhibit A in the cultural-influence department.
To celebrate the Islamic holiday Eid, there’ll be an event originally billed as “Muslims Only” at a taxpayer-funded Texas waterpark.
After a backlash, the organizer changed the messaging to, “modest dress only” and added “all are welcome” to celebrate Eid. But here’s the kicker:
