A "Muslim only" event called "Epic Eid" at the Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark in Grand Prairie, Texas, was canceled after backlash and threats from Governor Greg Abbott to withdraw $530,000 in state grants. Initially advertised as a private gathering, the event required modest dress and included halal food and a prayer area for Muslims. After criticism, organizers changed the event's description to welcome all, stating it aimed to provide a respectful, family-friendly environment. Abbott condemned the original policy as unconstitutional and discriminatory, threatening to cut public safety grants if the city did not cancel the event. The city confirmed the cancellation in a statement. #Discrimination #ReligiousFreedom #EidCelebration #TexasNews #MuslimCommunity #Waterpark #EventCancellation #TexasPolitics #GregAbbott #StateGrants #chuckpointwalker https://www.foxnews.com/politics/texas-water-park-changes-muslim-event-gov-abbott-threatens-pull-530k-state-grants
