Muslims Target The Alamo in Revisionist History Plan
Texas Republican Rep. Brandon Gill is raising concerns over what he describes as a growing effort to rewrite American history—pointing to a controversial claim that the Alamo is somehow tied to Islamic heritage—as he also warns of a brewing battle within the GOP over immigration policy.

Speaking on The Todd Starnes Radio Show, Gill did not mince words when asked about reports that activists have sought to link the Alamo—one of Texas’ most iconic historical landmarks—to Islam.
“CAIR, the (Council) for American Islamic Relations and other radical Islamic groups, have been lobbying the Texas legislature and the Texas State Board of Education to include all kinds of pro-Islamic revisionist history into Texas’s educational standards,” Gill said.
Gill specifically pointed to what he called an “absolutely nonsensical claim” being pushed in education circles.
“One of those included this absolutely nonsensical claim that the Alamo is an example of Islamic architecture,” he said.
The Texas congressman framed the issue as part of a broader cultural battle, warning that such efforts amount to an attempt to reshape American identity.
“This is the perfect example, by the way, of Islamic cultural imperialism,” Gill said. “It’s coming to our country… and trying to claim and appropriate our history.”
Gill noted that he and several colleagues sent a letter urging Texas education officials to reject the proposal, praising them for standing firm.
“The Alamo is NOT an Islamic site—period. Sharia law, Islamism, and revisionist garbage pushed by groups like CAIR have no place in Texas classrooms,” said Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) on X.
Rep. Keith Self (R-TX) said there’s no way the Alamo is an Islamic building. He was among those who urged the Texas State Board of Education to “reject the propaganda being forced on Texas Children by Radical left-wing, pro-Islamic organization.”
“Do not Sharia our Texas,” Self said.
Gill praised the Board of Education for pushing back against the Islamists.
“They’ve done a great job in standing up against these cultural imperialistic Islamists,” Gill added.
The controversy surrounding the Alamo comes as cultural and educational debates continue to intensify across the country, particularly in states like Texas where curriculum decisions often spark national attention.
But Gill quickly pivoted from cultural issues to what he described as an even more urgent fight unfolding in Washington—immigration policy and what he calls a dangerous push toward amnesty.
During the interview, Gill sharply criticized a proposal backed by some Republicans, including Florida Rep. Maria Salazar, arguing that it would effectively grant legal status to millions of illegal immigrants.
“Well, that’s because it is an amnesty bill,” Gill said. “In fact, this isn’t just an amnesty bill, it’s far worse. This is a mass migration bill.”
Gill warned that the legislation, known as the Dignidad Act, could have sweeping consequences.
“The day it’s enacted, 12 million or so illegal aliens who are in the country right now and subject to deportation will be given legal status. Boom, amnesty,” he said.
He also argued the bill would weaken enforcement efforts and potentially allow previously deported individuals to return.
“What it will do is allow… illegal aliens who have already been deported… to come back into the United States,” Gill said, calling it “added insult.”
The Texas Republican framed the issue as a defining moment for the GOP, warning that supporting such legislation would betray voters.
“This would be the single biggest betrayal Republicans could possibly conceive of,” Gill said.
He pointed to the party’s campaign messaging during the last election cycle, emphasizing that voters had delivered a clear mandate.
“We were elected on a platform of mass deportations… if you’re an illegal alien, we want you out of our country. That’s the mandate voters gave us,” he said.
Gill cautioned that any shift toward amnesty could have long-term political consequences.
“To turn around… and give them amnesty would be such a grotesque betrayal… it would make the GOP unelectable,” he said.
The congressman also accused Democrats of using immigration policy for political gain, arguing that increased migration could impact congressional representation and elections.
“Democrats have been massive supporters of open borders… because it is to their political gain,” Gill said.
As the House prepares for continued debate on immigration, Gill’s remarks highlight the deep divisions not only between parties, but within Republican ranks themselves.
With cultural battles like the Alamo controversy intersecting with high-stakes legislative fights, Gill’s message was clear: both America’s history and its future, he argues, are on the line. Remember the Alamo, friends.
