How many provisions or heads-turned-the-other-way have been made for less than noble causes? The people are white, no? There my be more to this but it sure sounds bad.

Either we’re not getting the whole story or something is horribly wrong in Arizona.

Half of Arizona is no longer a part of the US. It has been given to the Sinaloa Cartel for control of all smuggling traffic.

"....he should be jailed for code violations."

Heck yea! Now if were a criminal alien, he'd be all set.

It's just not a gov't of the People any more. You are a tax slave and if you won't get off your butt and send in some tax revenue, we'll just tax your butt.

Unless the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals grants an emergency injunction, he will be jailed as early as next week.

Not reassuring.

It is reasonable to assume we don't have all the minute details. Still, most of us are are wondering if this story was identical *except* that the couple and their activity was a protected constituent of the left, would we even be reading it?

Not a chance.

Why didn’t they just move it to other houses. Then after everyone forgot about it, they could move back to his house.

****The authorities were afraid to go up against them because of “freedom of religion.”****

The “authorities” were using selective enforcement to continue to shape the makeup of this nation.

Let the free market decide the direction of this country in all aspects and you will see the world transformed. Let the laws on the books that deal with fraud be enforced as well.

A mosque in my neighborhood? If they can sustain a livelyhood here when no-one will hire them then good luck in their endeavors.

A totally free marketplace is not politically correct, that tells you something.

It is a catch 22. They were told they could not have 20 people in their living room

Does that mean I can not have 20 people over to my house and watch the Super Bowl and drink adult beverages? I am confused.

If your block is zoned for single-family residential, would you object to a Moslem building a 30-story Mosque on the lot next door to you?

Disingenuous response.

How about: If a Muslim family built a similar structure in their back yard and had 15-20 people there for prayers, would we be reading the same story here? Forget the structure, go back to what took place *before* that. If the Muslim family has 15 people in their living room would they have been subjected to the same treatment?

How about the Friday night party of the local gay rights group being hosted there? 15-20 people every Friday night for drinks and a strategy meeting? Not not noisy or disruptive. Would they have been subjected to the same treatment?

You may consider my question rhetorical. We all know the answer. We are not seeing equal treatment under the law. If we were this would be a different discussion.

You can have friends over to watch football, or God forbid the NBA, but don’t dare pray or quote Scripture...

What country is this, again?

4.5 Acres in Phoenix. I have a feeling someone in the city wants to subdivide that property.

“Officials came in and found 67 code violations. From a failure to post exit signs to a lack of handicap signs, Phoenix officials left no stone unturned”

I have seen the future and it sucks. This is Obamaworld on a microscopic scale. When laws get too numerous and complicated, government busybodies can throw anyone they don’t like in the slammer whenever they feel like it.

If the guys all get prayer mats and the gals wear Burqas, they will let them alone.

City officials claim that he’s running an operation that is reminiscent of a home church

Did those city officials have a 4th of July bbq and invite over friends and relatives? Oops, sounds like they're running an operation that is reminiscent of a home restaurant and entertainment venue.

I have 6 children, 14 grand children,4 great grand children and all their spouses in my house every Christmas and there are times when most or all are in my living room.

I'm happy to see them all and equally happy to see them leave......except for my 12 and 13 year olds, who live with me.
