"Overrun" is a sweeping characterization rather than a checkable factual claim. The sources show Texas's Muslim population is growing quickly but remains roughly 1-2% of residents (about 300,000-500,000 people), which makes the phrase's implication of a takeover unsupported, but no source directly grades the phrase itself. The passage's claim matches the extraction, and the claim was made on 2026-08-19.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

What was said

… the core wedge issue on the right right now, when we should be focusing on the left, who is laying back and continues to be demonic and continues to want us dead, and they are just gathering power across this country. Muslims winning elections in Michigan, Texas is being overrun by Muslims. You guys are having more Islamic foot washing stations in there. People aren't talking about that.

What we found

Context. Sources estimate Texas's Muslim population at roughly 1-2% of residents, between 300,000 and 500,000 people, with estimates varying by source and year.[6][7][8][9]

Context. Muslim population growth in Texas is well documented, including a 35% rise in Muslim voters from 2016 to 2020 and a Dallas-Fort Worth Muslim migrant population that grew to over 159,000 by 2024.[5][6]

Context. Texas's Muslim share stays small even as the Dallas-Fort Worth Muslim population grows, while the area's non-Christian growth is mainly Hindu, per Pew data.[10]

Context. Sources describe Muslim growth as real but do not describe Texas as being overrun, and no fact-checker or authority in the sources addresses this phrasing directly.[1][2][3][4]
