Texas justitieminister utreder påståenden om sharia-stad i Kaufman-projekt

Svenska

Texas justitieminister Ken Paxton har inlett en utredning om ett markutvecklingsprojekt i Kaufman County, och ifrågasätter om det innebär planer på en 'sharia-stad' kopplad till ett företag baserat i Dubai. Utredningen följer på invånares oro över upp till 20 000 utländska medborgare som potentiellt kan flytta dit. Paxton betonade att amerikanska lagar måste följas på amerikansk mark.

På måndagen meddelade Texas justitieminister Ken Paxton, republikan, en utredning av ett utvecklingsprojekt i Kaufman, Texas, beläget cirka 34 miles sydost om Dallas. Granskningen riktar sig mot köpet av tusentals tunnland nära Kaufman av ett amerikanskt dotterbolag till SEE Holdings, ett företag med säte i Dubai. Åtgärden kommer mitt i cirkulerande påståenden om att platsen kan hysa upp till 20 000 utländska medborgare i en 'hållbar' community.
