A taxpayer-funded waterpark in a Texas city has sparked online fury after announcing they would openly discriminate against non-Muslims to celebrate an Islamic holiday.

As The Daily Mail reported, Epic Waters in Grand Prairie released fliers for a June 1 event celebrating a major Muslim holiday called Eid al-Adha. The event will require a “modest dress code” and solely serve Halal-slaughtered meat.

Epic Waters, which is funded by an additional sales tax on Grand Prairie residents, will essentially resemble a hard-core Islamist country rather than the great state of Texas.

More from the Daily Mail:
The waterpark’s website notes that men and women will not be separated during the event, but attendees are told to ‘uphold Islamic etiquette’ by ‘lowering the gaze’ throughout the day.

‘Please follow the event’s modest dress code, and practice ḥayāʾ (modesty) through respectful behavior,’ the event says.

All attendees are ‘expected to dress in accordance with Islamic values’, and the waterpark says all swimwear must meet Muslim guidelines.

Here is the flyer promoting the event. Note that it will also include a private prayer area:

Here is how the women will be REQUIRED to dress to attend. How is this permitted in America?

Prominent conservative influencers, including Sara Gonzales and Dana Loesch, led the rightful outrage against the discriminatory and demeaning event:

How is a taxpayer-funded, city-owned entity allowed to discriminate against non-Muslims at a public water park? There would be literal riots if Muslims were similarly excluded and we all know that’s 100% accurate.

Just imagine the national outrage if a group of Christians decided to ban Muslims from a theme park.
