'Under siege': Inside the growing radical Islam threat critics say is hiding in plain sight in deep red Texas
This affects the entire country.
A shooting in Austin, Texas, over the weekend that left three innocent people dead and is being probed as a terror-related incident is putting a renewed focus on the potential spread of radical Islam in the United States, particularly in deep red Texas where concerns about Islamic fanaticism are hitting a fever pitch.
The deceased shooting suspect, identified as Ndiaga Diagne, was a 53-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen who was born in Senegal and lived in Pflugerville, Texas, after entering the country in 2000.
Diagne was wearing a shirt that said "Property of Allah" and another shirt underneath that depicted the Iranian flag. The FBI said the shooting, which came shortly after the U.S. and Israel's attack on Iran, was "potentially an act of terrorism."
The likelihood that Diagne was motivated by religious ideology, bolstered by a CBS News report on his social media presence, has prompted widespread alarm about the rise of radical Islam in Texas along with the heightened scrutiny of possible Iranian sleeper cells activating in the United States in response to recent U.S. military strikes on Iran.

"The tragic shooting over the weekend in my home of Austin, Texas, is another example of why we need to pause immigration until the system is fixed. We need to stop bringing people into our country who want to kill us."
Social media have been littered with examples in recent days of accounts voicing concern about possible radicalization in mosques throughout Texas.
"330 mosques in Texas… and an average of 2 new ones per month," conservative influencer account End Wokeness posted on X.
"These mosques are popping up all over the place," a former Austin police officer told Fox News Digital. "I have no doubt in my mind that there's radicalization going on in these mosques. There has to be."
While it is unclear what mosque Diagne attended in Texas, if any, the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) has released dozens of sermons and lectures from Texas and has published a compilation video of extremist imams in Texas from 2018-2025.
The compilation video shows imams from cities across Texas praising Khamenei, leading "down with Israel" chants, saying "Muslims will kill the Jews," promoting "jihad," and highlighting what MEMRI describes as examples of …
