Well, technically they're right. If they own the land for it, they should be able to build whichever house of worship they desire.

If a church would be permitted to be built there, but a mosque is forbidden, that is pretty much a perfect example of religious discrimination, which goes against the 1st Amendment.

Many mosques preach Anti-West and Anti-Infidel sermons.

A survey showed as many as half. It's troubling.

I wonder why, an American President would spend so much time defending another religion that is not his and being aggressively involved in immigration and mosque building?


Muslims sue city for rejecting mega-mosque
When the planning commission in Sterling Heights, Michigan, voted unanimously last fall to reject a mega-mosque in a residential area, an overflow crowd of residents could be seen shouting and cheering with joy.
Looks of relief fell upon their smiling faces, like a huge burden had been lifted.
But the Muslims ominously warned that they were not going away quietly.
On Wednesday they made good on their promise, suing the city for alleged civil rights violations, claims that the Obama administration appears all-to-eager to support.
WND reported that the Obama Department of Justice was secretly trying to intimidate the city earlier this year and now that appears to have been the case all along. The DOJ weighed in publicly Wednesday after the suit was filed with its own threatening language.
U.S. Attorney for Eastern District of Michigan Barbara McQuade told the Free Press, “The Department of Justice and U.S. Attorney’s Office have been conducting an independent investigation, and that investigation is ongoing.â€
The U.S. now has more than 3,100 mosques and at least 80 percent of them have been opened since the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. [See map below of mosques across America]
On Sept. 11, 2001, there were less than 300 mosques in the U.S. and by the end of 2015 there were more than 3,000, according to Salatomatic. A new mosque opens somewhere in America every week. Obama’s Justice Department has aggressively filed civil charges, or threatened to sue almost any city that denies a mosque a permit to build.

Some residents also expressed concerns about rising tensions between the Iraqi Chaldean Christians living in Sterling Heights and the growing Muslim community.
Dick Manasseri, an activist and spokesman for the anti-Shariah watchdog group Secure Michigan, said there are already more than 7,000 Muslims living in Oakland and Macomb counties. And that figures to rise substantially with Obama’s ongoing importation of Syrian refugees into the area. These two counties have already received more than 750 Syrians just since Oct. 1 of last year, according to the U.S. State Department Refugee Processing Center.
Most of the Muslims moving into Sterling Heights, Madison Heights, Troy and the surrounding area have been imported by the federal government’s refugee resettlement program, which pays Catholic Charities and Lutheran Social Services to settle them in apartments and affordable housing. Others have been brought in on green cards by area universities such as Wayne State and Oakland University.


People need to start asking if their church is involved in this, seems your tithing is being used for evil purposes.

From the article;
Such anti-Muslim bigotry could even embolden ISIS and other radical extremist groups overseas who seek new recruits by arguing that that our nation is at war with American Muslims.

Thank you for reading and considering our perspective. If we do not receive a positive response before or at next public meeting on Aug 22, we will have no choice but to ask the Department of Justice to take action against Newton County for religious discrimination.

The DOJ who works VERY close with our Christian President.......I think we know who will really be answering the call.


Now I can take this group seriously! Seems it was at the request of the people of the county to not build this mosque. Amazing how many mosques have been built since the attack on our country on 9/11 and the US Cole.

Why is this idea even controversial?

Your point? Are First Amendment rights subject to a popularity test now?

You and yours are being tested on your principles, here. And you're not doing too well. In which case, as someone smarter than me said, "they're not principles - they're hobbies."
