Lawsuit in Murfreesboro
Rutherford mosque opponents sue county, mayor
Opponents of a new mosque in Murfreesboro filed suit this morning, asking a judge to block construction on the project.
The opponents say county officials violated Tennessee’s Sunshine Laws when they approved the mosque by failing to give proper public notice and by holding a secret pre-meeting about the mosque. They say the county approved an illegal burial on the site.
They also say that since the mosque plan includes a school and soccer fields, the project doesn’t count as a religious building.
Illegal burial site? Ok..first I’ve heard of this. I think it’s safe to say that it is no secret I’m totally opposed to building any more mosques, ANYWHERE, within a million miles of the U.S. of A.! Matter of fact, I’d be right happy if those that already exist would close up shop. Yes, I do believe in the 1st Amendment, and the stated freedom of religion, BUT…..I don’t think the authors of the Constitution had in mind to allow murderers and pedophiles establish a foothold in a country that believes in liberty. Islam provides for no liberty.
That being said, I have to take issue about the school and soccer fields problem. If this is their argument, then no Catholic church, with school attached, or any sort of playing field, can ever be build. Or any other denomination, for that matter. Just sayin’.
