Alexander Muse, whom we have long followed on X (@amuse), also has a must-read substack newsletter "The Enterprise," through which he has just published a groundbreaking -- and earthshaking -- study of the Muslim invasion of Texas.
Radical Islamism has constructed its most extensive and financially potent infrastructure in the United States inside Texas, creating a half billion-dollar Islamist network concentrated in the Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston corridors.
These networks, which as we explain below with excerpts from The Enterprise study, are tied to the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas financing precedents, Salafist, Deobandi, Khomeinist, and other supremacist currents, exercise disproportionate control over Islamic institutions, charities, schools, and public subsidies in Texas. They pursue a long-term strategy of institutional capture and ideological influence that the networks themselves have described as civilization jihad.
Through hundreds of mosques, over 650 Islamic nonprofits, charter schools, seminaries, Sharia tribunals, and Islamic financial vehicles, networks linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas financing precedents, Iranian regime appointees, and South Asian Deobandi currents control the majority of reported assets and a commanding share of revenue among filing organizations. These entities have received millions in Texas taxpayer funds while advancing ideological goals that include support for designated terrorists, promotion of supremacist doctrines, and the construction of parallel institutions.
This political Islamism network advances a totalitarian program that treats Sharia as a comprehensive legal and political system meant to govern all of society and eventually supersede other systems. In Texas, as across the world, this translates into an organized effort to import and impose a political ideology whose core texts and modern proponents reject the separation of mosque and state and the equality of non-believers under law, as well as the institutional oppression of women.
According to Mr. Muse’s research, Texas contains the largest concentration of Islamic nonprofits in the country, with estimates running from nearly 650 to more than 700 organizations. This figure represents roughly 8% of the national total. More than 300 mosques and Islamic centers serve the community, with the heaviest clusters in Harris County around Houston and in Dallas County along with Collin and Tarrant counties in the DFW region. Growth has accelerated. One 2020 survey counted 224 mosques, placing Texas third nationally. By November 2025 the number had climbed to more than 300. This expansion provides the physical and organizational foundation for the financial aggregation and educational penetration that followed.
Financial patterns, documented in the report, show even sharper concentration. Of the approximately 650 nonprofits, between 213 and 232 file IRS Form 990 returns. These organizations report annual revenue between $412 million and $544 million, with assets ranging from $315 million to $400 million. Salaries total around $50 million, and overseas expenditures approach $200 million. Islamist-linked networks control nearly two-thirds of the reported assets and the large majority of the revenue among filing organizations. These numbers almost certainly understate the full scale, because many groups exploit tax exemptions, hold assets through out-of-state entities, and operate Sharia-compliant financial services that handle additional hundreds of millions outside the standard 501(c)(3) system.
And to us, here’s the most troubling part of the report: State subsidies have flowed into the same ecosystem. Analyses document between $13 million and $16 million in identified Texas grants and related funding reaching Islamic organizations. The overwhelming share has gone to networks under Islamist influence or control. Specific allocations include roughly $1.11 million to Deobandi-linked entities, about $1.02 million to Salafi groups, over $0.44 million to Qutbist or Muslim Brotherhood-adjacent organizations, and around $0.29 million to Khomeinist ones in sampled data. In one recent filing, CAIR’s Texas branch reported that its entire revenue derived from government sources.
The concentration of Islamist-controlled assets and revenue, combined with documented historical terror-finance nodes and ongoing subsidy flows, establishes Texas as the most advanced laboratory for political Islamism’s institutional strategy in America.
