Judge shuts down mega-mosque construction Court ruling says county avoided legal building-permit process Published: 10 hours ago Work on a mega-mosque already well along in the construction process in Murfreesboro, Tenn., has been shut down – the existing building’s future uncertain – by a court’s ruling the county avoided the legal process required for granting building permission for the project. The ruling said the county’s actions effectively violated the state’s Open Meetings law during the time when the mega-structure was being approved. “The court finds that the action of the county was not sufficient to provide the type of notice to citizens of the county that such matters were to be considered at the meeting of the Rutherford County Regional Planning Commission which should be expected under our law,” said the opinion made public today from the Chancery Court of Tennessee, 16th District. “Under the mandates of the statute, the court then finds that the actions of that commission regarding the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro were in fact void and of no effect.” See what you can do in your community, get “Stop the Islamization of America: A Practical Guide to the Resistance.” While there was a notice of the meeting in a local newspaper, the paper itself had “virtually no paid circulation,” and there was no showing of any notice on the county’s cable television station or on its website. “The court assumed there was no ill intention or willful deception on the part of the county,” the ruling continued. “We do not attribute any sinister motives to the county, though we note the undercurrent of the argument presented by the plaintiffs. We simply find that the county failed to publish the meeting…” The opinion noted that under the county regulations there is not an entitlement to a public hearing, but there is a requirement that the public be properly notified. It further said that the denial of permission for a building to be used “as a religious meeting place” must be done in a non-discriminatory manner. Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation, one of the attorneys working with the plaintiffs in the case, told WND the next step likely will be a renewal of the attempts by the county to grant building permission. He credited other attorneys on the case, Joe Brandon and Tom Smith, with arguing the case successfully. He said the plaintiffs contended the process ignored several factors, including that the land where the now-unusable building stands formerly was a pig farm, which is supposed to be anathema to Muslims. He called it a “political power move” on the part of the powers who wanted the mosque to be built. The Muslim organization building the mega-mosque had obtained permission for nearly 53,000 square feet of buildings on its lot of land, and the first 12,000-square-soot section was nearly done. Rutherford County officials have said that they don’t expect any buildings to be torn down, even though the process was violated. Pamela Geller, publisher of AtlasShrugs.com, also is the author of the WND Books title “Stop the Islamization of America: A Practical Guide to the Resistance” and “The Post American Presidency: The Obama’s Administration’s war on America,” published by Simon Schuster. She revealed how the Department of Justice, which though it has named the Islamic Society of North America, the Council on American-Islamic Relations and other key Muslim groups and figures as unindicted co-conspirators in a scheme to fund the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, filed a friend-of-the-court brief demanding that the case against the Murfreesboro mosque be dismissed.

Mosques are incompatible with American values. They should all be destroyed.
The face of terrorist is not the true faith of Islam. That's not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace. Women who cover their heads in this country must feel comfortable going outside their homes. Moms who wear covering must not be intimidated in America. That's not the America I know; that's not the America I value. I've been told that some fear to leave; some don't want to go shopping for their families; some don't want to go about their ordinary daily routines because, by wearing cover, they're afraid they'll be intimidated. That should not and that will not stand in America. Those who feel like they can intimidate our fellow citizens to take out their anger don't represent the best of America. They represent the worst of humankind. And they should be ashamed of that kind of behavior." ~George W. Muzbot Liberals love them. They'd be welcome next to the Bush ranch, in Crawdad Texas. I don't care for Muslims and Wiccans, but you'd need a constitutional amendment to restrict their freedom of religion. This is America, not Bagdad! If you want religious oppression, move to Mogadishu or Israel.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
If you want religious oppression, move to Mogadishu or Israel. islam is NOT a "religion'. It's a total way of life that affects ALL parts of life for it's believers and for the rest of us. Just like NAZISM is. islam should be disallowed until they join the human race. The test is does an organization promote MURDER and WORLD DOMINATION BY THE SWORD? IF SO they are NOT a religion, and they are due no RELIGIOUS protection. It was that way for the first hundred years of this republic and it needs to return to that imo. Would you allow the NAZIS to form a NAZI "religion"? Would you give the NAZI "religion" all of the CONSTITUTIONAL protections of religion? Really?
Spoiled, stupid and ignorant, brain dead phuckwads, libTURD fools, tools, and idiots, are the real sickness; the messiah "king" obammy and his regime are only the symptoms.
MURFREESBORO — Plaintiffs who won a judge’s decision Tuesday voiding government approval of a mosque filed an injunction Wednesday to restrict actions inconsistent with the court order. “There will be more litigation,” plaintiffs’ attorney Joe Brandon said. We are going to give the county an opportunity to do what’s right. Their time frame is on a short fuse.” The Rutherford County government, however, took no action to stop construction of a mosque Wednesday despite Chancellor Robert Corlew III’s ruling to void the mosque’s approval because of insufficient public notice prior to the vote. “I haven’t seen the judge’s orders,” county Building Codes Director David Jones said during an interview at his office Wednesday. “The Building Codes Department does use stop-work orders for out-of-compliance projects. I just have to refer everything to the county attorney’s office.” http://www.tennessean.com/article/20120531/NEWS21/305310058/Murfreesboro-mosque-construction-proceeds?odyssey=nav|head&nclick_check=1
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
Me too, I'm a Christian. Do you have a shift when you're off duty, and agnostic?

No I don't, but that's NOT the point. The so called "religion" of islam believes in THEOCRACY ONLY. When is the last time that you KILLED PEOPLE to convert them? When is the last time that you helped your coreligionists commit genocide as a REQUIREMENT of your so called "religion's" dogma and "holy" book? islam is NOT just a "religion". islam is NOT able to exist in a secular society, islam is on it's face anti-US CONSTITUTION. islam cannot co-exist with any other religion. Do you even know why JEFFERSON had a copy of that filth called the koran? IF you accept islam as a "religion" then you must also accept NAZISM and COMMUNISM as religions, and THAT is pretty ABSURD isn't it? Just because you call shit gold doesn't make it so, does it?

President Bush meets with Muslim leaders at a mosque in Washington, DC (9/17/01).
