Furious Alabama town crushes plans to build large Muslim school
Daily Mail UK ^ | December 2, 2025 | Lauren Acton-Taylor

An Alabama town angrily shot down plans to build a Muslim school in their area, with locals citing the 'cultural takeover' of Muslims in a Michigan city and as far away as the UK.

Residents of Hoover in suburban Birmingham showed up in force at a zoning commission meeting Monday as the board voted on whether to allow the Islamic Academy to transform a local office building into a school and community center.

Around 170 locals attended the meeting, with many opposing a motion to move the existing Islamic Academy in Homewood to Hoover.

Citing traffic concerns and questioning the long-term use of the site, the commission unanimously denied the zoning request, AL.com reported. The crowd erupted in applause as the council voted against the request.

While residents agreed with the board's reasons for denial, there was also heavy discussion about cultural and religious concerns.

Some locals were fearful that the proposed K-12 school would transform Hoover into a Muslim society.

Protesters lined the meeting room holding signs and posters, including some reading 'Stop the 100 year plan,' a reference to a conspiracy theory that Muslims are trying to take over American institutions.

Another local held a sign reading, 'Give an inch - Dearborn Michigan,' in reference to the city with a large Muslim population and Arab-American majority city leadership, AL.com reported.

In 2022, Dearborn elected its first Muslim mayor, 33-year-old Abdullah Hammoud, stoking protests including a Quran-burning attempt.

This year, Hammoud was reelected with 71 percent of the vote on a platform of diversity and a welcoming community.

Some Hoover residents claimed that having the school would deter business development in the area.

'You're going to have real problems with this community, I'm just telling you now,' local Bruce Davis said.

Muslim school? What do Muslims need to know other than how to light a fuse or swing a machete?

I really could care less abkut muslims or socialists cultural concerns. Given what we know they want to do, it doesn’t matter at all.

Muslim school huh? So now the left is no longer in favor of the phantom 'separation of church and state'?

Like a bunch of schizos bouncing off the wall. Whatever suits their destructive ends justify the means. Imagine the industrial strength fraud this could generate! Burqas for the homeless. Bwahahaha.

How can Muzzies get away with creating their own schools when other cults and even true religions can’t. Even private Christian schools can’t get away with teaching a non-approved curriculum. Best to run muslims out of your communities and state. They teach hatred for non muzzies and seek to take over this country.

I have never been more proud to be a resident of Alabama. It is one of the few remaining states where the people won’t put up with being invaded.

Who knows, but maybe they give in to the Muzzies, so they don’t get called racists. Maybe the people in this community don’t give a rat’s rear end what the Muzzies say or think?

These Muslim schools have a way of morphing into mosques since all academics are primarily religious.

Then the next thing you know a half-dozen big loudspeakers are town-authorized to blast out the Adhan [Call to Prayer] five times each day.

This action has taken place in Minnesota, New York, England, Germany and dozens of other locales.

Regular residents are not used to putting-up with an ear-splitting blast five times a day--every day--all year round. When the non-Muslims eventually move out, the loudspeakers have done their job--another Dearborn, Michigan has been added to the ever-expanding Muslim world-map.

The problem isn’t the church state thing. There are Catholic schools everywhere. The problem is that Islam is not really a religion. It is a terrorist organization.

They hide by calling it a religion. Take advantage of American freedoms.
