The planning commission of Sterling Heights, Michigan voted on Thursday to deny a building permit for the construction of a new mosque in the Detroit suburb. When the vote was announced, the reaction of the crowd was unmistakable.
As reported by WXYZ in Detroit, city hall was filled to capacity with 240 people anxiously awaiting the results. When the 9-0 vote was announced, the hall erupted in applause, with hundreds more outside chanting “No more mosques” and “God Bless America.”
While the fight centered around the size of the planned mosque – 20,500 square feet – and it’s location in a residential area, some residents feared it would potentially be linked to extremism. One resident said:
“This doesn’t seem like Sterling Heights. I feel like I’m in Baghdad.”
Mosque leaders said they offered to change the size and design of the project, to no avail.
Incidentally, nearby Dearborn, with a population of nearly 100,000, has the largest concentration of Muslims in the United States – nearly 30% of its residents.
What happens next may be demonstrative of the tyranny of political correctness and what follows that could be even worse.
Best news I’ve heard all week.
Probably Christians.
Great development.
The time to resist Islamic tyrrany, is Now!
Maybe Trump boldly giving the finger to political correctness is rubbing off. I hope it’s contagious and we see more of this.
Want a Mosque? Go somewhere else, like get the hell out of my country!
This means nothing. A judge will simply overrule it.
Exactly what I was thinking!!
He's doing it already, even going after places like Idaho!
Best ping I’ve gotten in a loooonng time!! Thank you!!
I believe it.
I'd have a porky pig barbecue and make sure the wind is just right.
I’m afraid so....The AG will show up soon.
I live in Sterling Heights. There is a large concentration of Iraqi’s in this town. They are NOT muslim - that is Dearborn - they are Catholics. They came to this country to get away from Muslims. I’ve had them tell me, NEVER trust them.
This does not surprise me in the least.
They are planning to run and cry to the Department of Just Us
I echo those sentiments...Japan keeps them out; we need to do the same.
Trump didn’t have anything to do with it. These middle eastern Christians have never been a politically correct bunch.
It won’t be long before the Obama justice department comes after the city.
They came to the right place and their voices were heard.....good for them
Yes, with Obozo leading the charge!
