full title:. Landmark Federal Court Ruling Opens The Way For Explosion Of Constructing Mega-Mosques Across America
I have been warning repeatedly that Islamization in America will not happen through any sort of military action, but it will come through the courts, that the biggest danger America faces is not from guns and terrorists, but lawyers in well-pressed suits and activist judges.
In another case which illustrates my point, a court in New Jersey has made what is being called a “landmark” ruling against a small town which said that Muslims were discriminated against by being required to have more parking spaces for their mosque than for other places of worship: A federal judge ruled Saturday that a New Jersey town broke the law by requiring more parking spaces for a mosque than for other places of worship.
The planning board of Bernards Township, N.J., denied plans to build a mosque due to concerns that there were not enough parking spaces, arguing that mosques needed more parking than churches or synagogues due to different times of worship.
After nearly four years of hearings, the Islamic Society sued the township in March 2016. U.S. District Judge Michael Shipp declared Saturday that the town’s actions violated the Religious Land Use and Institutional Persons Act.
Parking requirements have been previously used against the building of mosques, and the Islamic Society’s lawyer Adeel Mangi reportedly said, “(t)his truly is a landmark ruling with national impact.”
In court, the township insisted that the issue was not a religious one, but a concern over parking, with the township’s attorney saying in court, “it’s based simply on the parking needs of the applicant.”
Judge Schipp, however, disagreed, and ruled that the parking requirements gave the town board “unbridled and unconstitutional discretion.”

Re : Post #15
Excellent post, and excellent quotes...
T Y for posting.
Not sure :) Would take a team of top scientists years to figure out which part of their brains are defective.
Though I like your idea, very many are citizens and I am pretty sure there’s no precedent for throwing a group of citizens out.
We could have set one with the Irish but we blew it. JK!!! :)
Legally correct ruling, unless the township had a ream of parking data from churches and mosques that actually supported their theory.
If someone has links to their expert evidence, I’ll be happy to discuss further after reviewing it. But facially, it looks like the city had a pretty weak case.
No mosque is fireproof. Drones are for sale at checkout.
Too easy.
muslims want sharia and are inherently opposed to our government. they are internal threats and to hell with their “citizenship”. especially if they hold dual citizenships.
I’m thinking that the parking requirements for a church holding (usually) multiple services on a Sunday morning would differ significantly from those of a mosque holding a single service early(?) on a Friday evening.
Well, there is that pesky little First Amendment issue.
Noting that gasoline-powered vehicles did not exist when the amendable Constitution was ratified, just as with unconstitutional, but vote-winning Obamacare, there was nothing stopping Congress from exercising its Article V powers to petition the states for new powers to justify the religious-sounding bill as it affected local and state zoning regulations.
"In every event, I would rather construe so narrowly as to oblige the nation to amend, and thus declare what powers they would agree to yield, than too broadly, and indeed, so broadly as to enable the executive and the Senate to do things which the Constitution forbids." --Thomas Jefferson: The Anas, 1793.
Instead, the feds got away (again) with unconstitutionally expanding their powers imo, in this example by passing what was arguably a vote-winning, election year bill nonetheless.
but I thought the exodus from NJ was because of the taxes? NOT...Sanctuary STATE.

Another argument against the Religious Land Law is the following.
Note that the Founding States had decided that the states did not have to respect the rights expressly protected by the Bill of Rights. The state obligated only the federal government to respect such rights.
So hypothetically speaking, Muslims probably would not have won their parking lot case arguing 1st Amendment protected religious expression before the 14th Amendment was ratified.
And regardless of the 14th Amendment, I question if the religious-sounding name of the law appropriately complements the 1st Amendment protections that it is argued to provide. Again, the name would probably be favored by voters with religious convictions in an election year.
I was thinking more about the concentration of traffic than the frequency. As far as I can tell, mosques hold a single service on Friday evenings. Churches typically hold multiple services spread out over Sunday morning. A church congregation the same size as a mosque’s could easily require half or even less of the parking spaces. My local Catholic church has four or five masses on Sundays. Imagine all of those people trying to park for a single service.
