I drove past this place this morning on the way to my own synagogue. I drive past it when I pick up my granddaughters and take them to synagogue with me. So I drive past this place pretty often. I've often wondered about it as there never seemed to be any activity there on Saturday morning. Today I saw a sign on the place that it was now the Verona Islamic Center (or something like that).
I just Googled and found this (now old) article, but I also found other articles. It seems the town had agreed to purchase the site. There was talk of housing their rescue squad there, or maybe something else. I think there was even an agreement to purchase.
But then some @$$hole apparently started a successful petition drive against the purchase. (I wonder how he and/or his signers feels now!!)
Apparently the Muslims purchased the place, and they were sort of grandfathered in as town laws said as long as the place continued to be used as a religious institution, they were In Like Flint.
This place is located less than ten miles away from me. I'm not happy about it.

“I have to give a good example to my community.
Not to America. Not to his state. Not to his town. Not to the filthy infidels.
I wonder if the mosque will display an American flag inside the way the synagogue did.
It is the ultimate goal of Islam to turn all synagogues and Christian churches into mosques.
If it burns to the ground, would that act be anti-Semitic or anti-Islam?
CAUTION:Goat Crossing next 2 miles.
Misunderstanding? As President Trump correctly pointed out during the campaign as people were jumping 100 stories to their deaths in Lower Manhattan moslems in the US,and elsewhere,were filmed cheering wildly!
Where are you in NJ? Our kids are down in Ewing Twp and I believe they are close to Rutgers. Dang. And a mosque - that is truly stomach-turning.
The cancer spreads.
The Bill of Rights applies to all Americans, including Muslims. I have no problem with this.
“There is too much misunderstanding of Islam here in America...
No sir, we understand you quite well and that’s what worries us.
Oh and Verona, just wait until the call to prayer begins at 5 am. Everybody up!
[There is too much misunderstanding of Islam here in America, he adds]
Ha. There is far too LITTLE understanding of islam in America.
Should have invited some Baptists in to anoint the place with bacon.
Do they have the zoning for manufacture of explosive devices or are they simply doing it under the radar?
Synagogue collapses in unprecedented earthquake unknown in that area. Ever.
the community he has come to love.

If you love the community, leave Islam.
And leave Islam out of it.
Islam has always been a religion od conquest and slavery, murder and mayhem.
Mad Mo made it so.
Islam is a war plan.
