Arguments about faith, power and who gets to belong in Texas.
opinion ·
Texas politicians have turned mosques, Muslim schools, housing developments and history lessons into political battlegrounds. November will help determine who wields power over education, state courts and the public programs where those fights become policy—with religious liberty, equal treatment and the limits of government power at stake far beyond the governor’s race.

Democrats learned over Gaza that Muslim votes aren’t theirs to inherit. Texas Republicans have spent the past year treating Muslim institutions like enemy territory.

Bankrolled by his father-in-law Dinesh D’Souza, backed by AIPAC and boosted by super PACs, Brandon Gill has mistaken a silver-spoon political career for the deed to Texas. His benefactors helped put him in office. They didn’t buy him the right to tell Muslim Texans—or anyone else—who belongs.
