(Reuters) - The U.S. government sued a small Minneapolis suburb on Wednesday, accusing it of religious discrimination after local leaders denied a Muslim group the right to open a center in the municipality.
The Justice Department filed a complaint in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis against St. Anthony Village, where council members voted 4-1 in 2012 to deny a request by the Abu Huraira Islamic Center to create a place of worship in the basement of the St. Anthony Business Center.
"Religious freedom is one of our most cherished rights, and there are few aspects of that right more central than the ability of communities to establish places for collective worship," Molly Moran, acting assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division, said in a statement.
The complaint argues the municipality treated the group's application for a conditional use permit on less than equal terms than other, non-religious, conditional use permits for assembly.

You have to be human to have human rights.
This was NOT what the Founding Fathers had in mind when they wrote about Freedom of Religion. 0 and his handlers are very close to making Islam the USA’s state religion, at least it is protected like one.

That’s how it’s done. You leave out a word here and there. You put in words like ‘civil rights’ and ‘religious freedom’. Lawyers get rich and donate to politicians who force these cases to court, and...

Muslims are relentless. They just keep pushing until met with brute force. That is ALL they understand.
THIS. You don’t get to go around advocating the murder of all non-Muslims and the institution of ridiculous 8th century laws, and get to call your beliefs “religious”; Islam is a cult which threatens the liberty of others by its very existence. The Founding Fathers had nothing but contempt for Islam.
If we had competent leaders, there wouldn’t be a single Muslim in the universe. Either Mecca gets destroyed, or the rest of the world does.
That's because they are fortresses, some near critical highway choke points. They are colonizing.
