Frightened Christians lose battle over U.S. mega-mosque [Sterling Heights, MI]

In the end, the Iraqi Christians of Sterling Heights, Michigan, say they felt abandoned and left vulnerable by their government.

snip***

The city on Tuesday night agreed to a settlement with a Muslim group that wants to build a mega-mosque on 15 Mile at Mound Road, in the heart of a residential area filled with Christians who escaped Muslim persecution in Iraq.

snip***

The city planning commission had denied the mosque permit in September 2015, but nearly a year later the mosque sued the city claiming discrimination. In December 2016, the U.S. Department of Justice joined in with a similar suit claiming the city violated the Religious Land Use and Institutional Persons Act, or RLUIPA.

RLUIPA was passed by Congress in 2000 to discourage cities and towns from discriminating against houses of worship in zoning decisions. But the law was increasingly used under the Obama administration to bully local governments into accepting controversial mosque projects.

“Whenever someone voiced concerns about future persecution, he cut them off and called them out of order.”

She said her people are concerned the Shiite mosque is being funded by Iran.

“Why would you build a mosque when you don’t have a large population of Shiites in Sterling Heights? They’re wanting to bring in people from other areas,” Anweya said. “You’re talking about a city that doesn’t blink at spending $1 million on a playground, but they don’t want to spend $350,000 on defending this lawsuit.”

Good article with other details about the DOinJ getting involved. Also an insert alert on a book written by the article author about how southeastern MI is being invaded.

Makes sense to me. The Biblical consequence for nationally legalized child sacrifice is invasion and conquest.

The town is becoming more cohesive among the Christians and will legally fight again. Won't matter if they don't stop abortion.

Christians should put up big crosses around the evil worshipper’s mosque. Have the mosque in the shadow of the cross.

The muslims took over Dearborn, you cannot go there and not believe you’re in Baghdad its so bad. Now they’ve set their sites on Sterling Heights where many of the Coptic Christians have settled and assimilated and integrated very nicely into American society. The Coptic’s came over to avoid being persecuted by muslims, and you can bet that all the Coptic owned businesses, eateries, party stores etc...etc... will sooner or later come under attack as a crime wave will begin shortly after the scummuslim mosque is built. That was the pattern in Dearborn and it will be in Sterling Heights too. Slowly but surely the muzzies are colonizing the Detroit are just as the Borg would do.

will take a while until the DOJ swamp is drained, I’m afraid. The rarity of fighting the corruption is written about in “Licensed to Lie” by Sydney Powell.

Government is supposed to serve the people, but it has happened before that governments turn against their people, opposing both their safety and their happiness. When that happens, the solution can be awkward:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident . . . That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

Or, someone could just drop a few slaughtered pigs on the site, every few weeks. . . .

You also have a lot of Chaldeans living there. Iraqi Christians who fled persecution from Muslims in Iraq decades ago.

Yes, I forgot to mention the Chaldeans also. It is a fact that the Christians that immigrate or come here as refugees tend to start businesses, get jobs and assimilate very well to American life. They are very industrious people, and very friendly too.

That might be a reaction to getting here and realizing:

"Hey, my neighbors aren't trying to murder me, steal all my stuff under law, and rape my womenfolk & children!"
