Controversial Houston Islamic Center Rewrites Latino History: ‘Your Roots Are in Muslim Spain’, Erases the Brutality of Islamic Conquest (Video)

The Houston Islamic Center doesn’t just distort history—it erases centuries of Islamic conquest and replaces them with a fabricated legacy of peace, tolerance, and cultural glory designed to recruit, not inform.
A newly expanded Islamic complex in Houston’s Alief district is drawing serious alarm—not for its Andalusian arches or cultural programming, but for what it truly represents: a highly coordinated, well-funded 501(c)(3) campaign to revive Islamic imperial ideology on American soil. Using Texas as its launchpad and deploying a calculated charm offensive, the IslamInSpanish Centro Islámico disguises itself as a community mosque while functioning as a multimedia propaganda hub and ideological command center. This is not merely a house of worship—it is the nerve center of a movement that seeks to rewrite Latino identity, embed Islamic rule into American cultural narratives, and normalize the legacy of conquest as a proud foundation for future expansion.
The center officially held its grand opening on November 16, 2024, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony unveiling the 10,200-square-foot facility. Promoted as the first Latino-led Islamic center in the United States, the campus includes a museum glorifying the Muslim occupation of Spain, a 3,600-square-foot audiovisual production studio and event center, a café, prayer room, teen graffiti lounge, media walls, classrooms, and more. Spread over 2.5 acres, the site has been carefully designed to emulate the style—and more importantly, the ideological spirit—of Islamic Spain, as part of a deliberate effort to repackage and resell the legacy of al-Andalus.
