On July 4, a documentary titled “Remember the Alamo: Don’t Sharia My Texas” was released, drawing attention from supporters and critics alike over its information on Islam.
The film, created by Chris Burgard, argues that there is a coordinated effort to introduce Sharia law into American society, with Texas serving as the primary target. Throughout the documentary, speakers claim that Dallas has become the “Mecca of the West.”
The documentary opens by recounting the Battle of the Alamo during the Texas Revolution in 1836 before shifting to the new threat Burgard says the state now faces in the threat of Islam.
Burgard interviews several individuals throughout the film, including former U.S. Rep. Allen West, former FBI Special Agent and counterterrorism expert John Guandolo, investigative journalist Lara Logan, and retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn.
According to the documentary, Islamic leaders are working to expand Islam’s influence in Texas. The film includes clips of Islamic scholars and imams discussing their religious beliefs and goals, as well as segments examining terrorist attacks carried out on U.S. soil. Burgard also argues that Islamic organizations have increasingly used litigation, or “lawfare,” to advance their objectives.
The documentary features an interview with Aziz Budri, Muslim scholar and founder of the Muslim Association of America, discussing his views on Islam and its practice.

Another portion of the film focuses on Nigeria, where Burgard shows how tens of thousands of Christians in the region have been killed by Islamic groups. The documentary includes an interview with a Nigerian journalist who explains how Muslims are systematically executing jihad in the country.
Logan also recounts her experience covering the 2011 protests in Egypt, during which she was beaten and sexually assaulted for almost 40 minutes. Her testimony, along with comments from her husband, is used in the documentary to illustrate the dangers women face in Muslim-majority countries.
Burgard told the Daily Signal he made this film to warn Americans about the growing threat.
“We made this movie to protect Texas and America from Sharia law,” Burgard said. “I made this movie so that we could avoid the violence.”
Burgard also described the strategies Islamic leaders are using to expand their influence in the United States.
“As we say in the movie, when you see all these military-aged men closing down a street and praying, it’s not because they don’t have room in the mosque—they’re claiming that territory,” Burgard said. “Those images are going out to the rest of the Islamic world, and they’re saying, ‘We claim this territory.’”
He added that, in 1991, “the Muslim Brotherhood adopted this mission to take down the United States from the inside.”
“They would destroy America and the North American Western Civilization from the inside,” Burgard said.
The documentary was released as several Islamic development projects have drawn public attention in North Texas. Among other developments, a former Korean church is being converted into a mosque and Islamic academy in Richardson, and plans are underway for a proposed mosque expansion in McKinney.
Earlier this month, the San Antonio Current published a film review by Julianna Plewes describing Burgard as a “far-right filmmaker.”
Plewes wrote that the documentary “weaves in both fact and fiction, often with narrative glue heavy on unsubstantiated conspiracy theories.”
In an unpublished rebuttal provided to the Daily Signal, Burgard said Plewes never contacted him or the film’s producer, Tim Lowry, for comment before publishing the article.
“That’s lazy journalism at best. … I will let those who watch the film at RememberTheAlamomovie.com decide for themselves,” Burgard wrote.
The documentary is available for purchase for $19.99. Burgard is also hosting screenings across Texas. Information on the film and screenings are posted on the movie’s website.
