Texas as the Test Case: $25M+ Muslim Brotherhood-Linked Islamic Fortress Rises At UT Austin—Model For Sharia Campuses Within U.S. Universities
Amy MekDecember 22, 202
The University of Texas at Austin is being used as the proving ground for a Saudi-seeded, Muslim Brotherhood–aligned Islamic infrastructure project centered on the Nueces Mosque, designed to surround university students with mosque-controlled worship, housing, education, finance, and behavioral enforcement, and promoted as a repeatable Sharia-governed campus model nationwide.
Executive Summary: Key Findings
This is not a local mosque project.
The Nueces Mosque reconstruction in Austin is explicitly designed as a national model for Islamic expansion on U.S. university campuses, with leaders openly calling for replication at “almost every major university in America.”
It is a student-targeted infrastructure system, not just a place of worship.
The project integrates mosque-centered worship, seminary education, gender-segregated student housing, dawah outreach, and behavioral enforcement to surround college students during their most formative years and keep them embedded in a controlled Islamic environment.
The project is rooted in Muslim Brotherhood organizing and foreign Saudi funding.
Nueces Mosque was founded in 1977 by the University of Texas Muslim Students Association, an organization historically established by Muslim Brotherhood members. Its first property purchase was made possible by a $150,000 check from Saudi Arabia delivered through the Saudi Embassy, as publicly admitted by a founding financial officer.
The expansion operationalizes Sharia as a governing framework.
The project enforces Islamic norms through clerical authority, internal investigative task forces, gender segregation, dress and conduct rules, and mosque-controlled housing, where compliance with “Islamic etiquette” is mandatory for residents, including non-Muslims.
Student housing is a tool of both revenue and control.
The four-floor residential component is projected to generate over $1 million annually, making the mosque financially self-sustaining while allowing leadership to control who may live there and under what religious conditions—creating de facto religious exclusivity without explicit bans.
Sharia-compliant financing and zakat eligibility are central to the project.
The project relies on halal financing structures and a formal Islamic legal paper justifying the use of zakat (mandatory Islamic tax) to fund campus-based expansion, citing Muslim Brotherhood jurist Yusuf al-Qaradawi and Saudi religious authorities historically linked to jihad financing doctrine.
Dawah is institutionalized as a strategic function.
A dedicated Dawah Center is built into the complex, framing American universities as ideological battlegrounds and positioning student outreach and identity enforcement as a form of long-term civilizational struggle rather than benign religious expression.
City of Austin officials actively facilitated the expansion.
Rather than scrutinizing the project, the city agreed to physically relocate a protected historic landmark to clear space for construction—an extraordinary accommodation rarely granted for private development.
Texas’ own terror-designation framework is being ignored.
Despite Texas’s formal designation of the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR as foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organizations, a project with documented Brotherhood lineage and CAIR-linked networks has advanced without investigation, financial scrutiny, or state-level oversight.
Texas is being used as the test case.
The Nueces project represents a closed-loop Islamic pipeline—from mosque-based education and seminary training to mosque-controlled student housing and leadership formation—operating alongside a public university and promoted as a national model, raising serious questions about parallel authority, enforcement of Sharia norms, and the future of American campuses.
