Event organizers: "Anyone of a different faith who wants to celebrate the Eid holiday with us and adhere to the modest dress code is welcome to attend."

A spokesperson for the City of Grand Prairie said the city canceled the DFW Epic Eid Celebration scheduled for 1 June at the Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark.

"After further review and in the best interest of the City of Grand Prairie, the 1 June Eid event at Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark has been canceled."

Epic Waters opened in 2017 after voters approved a 0.25% sales tax. The park is available for rent at a cost of $5,000 an hour.

How will America ever get rid of foreign interference in its body politic?
