Welcome to the intersection of faith and culture.

It's a wallbuilder show on a Thursday, which means it's Foundations of Freedom Thursday.

Thank you for joining us today.

Be sure and send your questions in Radio at wallbuilders.com.

If you've got a question about the founders or the Constitution or maybe something that's happening right now in our

government and perhaps a biblical perspective on that or a historical perspective or a constitutional

perspective. So we appreciate to joining us. I'm Rick Green here with David Barton and Tim Barton.

And guys, we've got a lot of good questions. And the first one's actually a combined question.

And I've been hearing this a lot. And of course, we've seen a lot of coverage on this community in Dallas that is apparently going to be a planned Muslim community. So a couple of questions specific to that. And then we'll dive in. Jeremy sent in the first one. He said, I'm a native Texan who's always lived in Texas. I'm beginning to be concerned about a push for non-Christian religions in Texas that lawmakers seem to be supporting

or at the very least not resisting. In Sugarland, we see several issues, such as elected a Muslim

to the Texas legislature, allowing a 90-foot-tall statue of the Hindu god Hadaman, and allowing

an open-air iftar. Then there's a planned Muslim city in DFW called Epic City, which includes a mosque

and a faith-based school.

There are other examples of this sort of thing happening across Texas and the U.S.

Can you speak to the founder's intent to these sorts of things as they apply to non-Christian religions? Can you also speak to how this has been handled historically? I'd also like to know

your thoughts in general about all these things. And then Aronson also asking essentially about the same thing, basically saying this town would not be controlled by any U.S. government or law enforcement agency. Now that part, I don't even know how they would pull that off. That's what you would have to do to have Sharia law. But guys, I actually got cornered by a reporter on this just the other day. So I'll add a third question to you guys to consider because, you know, she was trying to because, of course, I was was talking about the Christian foundations of the nation and how good it was the Ten Commandments were going to

go back into schools and chaplains in schools. And so she brought this up. She was like, well, I guess

you're okay with imams and this and that about Muslims. I said, well, you know, it doesn't matter

what I think, but Benjamin Rush said he'd rather learn from Confucius or Muhammad if you were going to go secular, but that's not what we do here. He said, we chose the Christian religion because it's the best religion and produces

the best results. So that's what should be taught in America if you want the best citizens. Anyway,

just throw that into the mix because I know that's where people are going with this. They're like,

well, if you can't have Muslim all these things or Hindu or whatever, then how can you possibly have Christian? So I know it threw a lot at you guys.
