DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. - Leaders of a DeKalb County mosque face legal trouble after mounting code enforcement violations landed them in front of a judge.
Mosque leaders said they are being harassed. Neighbors said its not a story about religion, but about code enforcement and following the rules.
A judge had already put the mosque and its leaders on probation, but that hasn't stopped them from holding services. Attendees arrive by the dozens from around the metro area every Friday. Sometimes there are several hundred people, but their mosque doesn't look like most.
"They would park in my yard and park in a lot of the neighbors yards, and you couldn't get out of your driveway," said Tom Owens, who lives near the Attaqwa Mosque in Doraville.
Owens said with 16 code enforcement violations, the mosque is not a good neighbor.
"It makes my neighborhood look bad when people drive by. It just looks trashy," he said.
Owens was referring to additions built behind the homes. Mosque leaders bought up eight different parcels and expanded.
"They haven't gotten the permits. They haven't had their plans reviewed," DeKalb County spokesman Burke Brennan told Channel 2 Action News.

Could I request a GA ping on this one? Thanks in advance.
Chuck some pork ribs on it and bye bye mosque, lol.
Get a load of this fun.
In addition to what is in the article, apparently this mosque is running on a dilapidated single family residence septic system, such that in Summer you can smell the raw sewage. They may even have raw sewage dumping into the storm drainage.
I’m thinking maybe I help the situation by working on siccing the state EPD and maybe the Federal EPA on these guys. Any ideas on that?
Nothing will be done. Anyone wanna bet?
I’s invest in a pound of bacon to decorate any car blocking my driveway.

Paintballs filled with pigs’ blood. Moohoohwahaha...
Get a hi-lift jack from a farm supply and start rolling those cars onto their roofs.
Then sue the mosque for contaminating the yard with oil anf gas/antifreeze.
I don’t know what the law is in GA, but here, if someone parks on your private property, call the police and/or a towing company and have the vehicles towed. They have to pay for the towing and the storage fee before they get their vehicle back.
The farther the tow truck has to travel, the higher the cost...and it costs you nothing.
Garden hose...gas tank...
But the tow thing is realistically the ‘best’ (relatively and legally speaking) route. The problem is that the first time a car gets towed, the ‘mosque’ will post lookouts for the future. When the tow truck hooks up to the ‘second’ car, the violence then begins...in your yard.
Until people put pressure on their elected officials to make the police deal legitimately with these jihadi wannabees, they will just take, take and take more from the neighborhood.
And of course the powers that be will fight doing that. But then that’s par for the course with today’s elected Dimihis.
This is really a shame. The guy is retired, Vietnam vet, really a nice guy, and he just doesn't deserve this crap going on behind his back yard.
You have no idea. Its a nightmare. I live 5 minutes from there. The city council of Lilburn voted 3 times to deny these ragheads permission to expand this horror. After one meeting some of these peace loving miscreants used their autos to intimidate some women who had attended. They followed their cars and boxed them in between a couple of vehicles and basically scared them. Finally Eric Holder and the DOJ sued the City of Lilburn and since they don’t have the money to fight it they caved and agreed not only to let the expansion move forward but to take sensitivity training. Its beyond belief. Fortunately it appears that the city will be able to hold things up since these idiots are too stupid to get permits and do things according to code.
Picture a quaint little historical berg with the craft shops and renovated bungalows and the Blue Rooster restaurant butted up to a proposed 10,000 sq ft mosque. This area is Baptist central. You have to ask yourself what is happening in this country? We don’t need this culture to take root here. Nobody wants this mosque. These are not desireable people and they are not compatible with the American culture. At some point we are going to have to realize that not everybody needs to come to America.
...and so it begins.
...when the wind is blowing right, hold a huge BBQ....WEEKLY!
