A city of 130,000 people in southeastern Michigan is under the gun of Islamic pressure following its denial of a mega-mosque in a residential neighborhood populated largely by Christian refugees who fled Islamic persecution in Iraq.
Sterling Heights already has two mosques, but a third, the American Islamic Community Center, applied for a permit and was rejected after it was determined its proposed use was incompatible with the residential area. Too much traffic, too little parking, the city planning commission decided by a 9-0 vote against the mosque in September 2015.
But in December, the mosque sued the city and the Obama Justice Department joined in, claiming the real reason the mosque was denied was because the city was caving to anti-Muslim bigotry in the community. Now, a settlement deal is headed to the Sterling Heights City Council on Tuesday evening. If the council votes to sign the deal, it could be very costly for the city. Local residents fear it’s a bad deal, something similar to the Obama DOJ-orchestrated deal forced upon nearby Pittsfield Township, Michigan, last year. That town had to pay out $1.7 million to local Muslims to whom it had denied a permit for an Islamic school, and township employees were ordered to undergo sensitivity training to assure they never again discriminate against Muslims.

Trump needs to reverse this policy immediately.
‘I will stand with Muslims if the winds start to blow in an ugly direction’
Notice how Obama and his Admin have been on the side of the Muslims in EVERY controversy? So glad they don’t have the power they used to have. Trump needs to DRAIN THE SWAMP of every Obama sycophant embedded in our Government.
This is the way the evil religion of Islam conquers it’s enemies..PLEASE Michigan stop this madness!!!
I live in Sterling Heights Mi. Just a few miles from where they want to build. I think it is more about suing the city then it is about the mosque.
Seriously. We’re fooling ourselves to think there aren’t any terrorist cells hiding in Michiganistan.
Approved...lawsuits settled :(
All these mosques in Michigan can go up in flames for all I care.
And Pittsfield Township can take their “sensitivity training” and stick it where the sun doesn’t shine.
(Or sixteen years, or twenty-four or more even.)
Same thing happened in Bridgewater, NJ.
From what I’ve read about this it is also about sticking it to the Chaldean Christian refugees also.
