BROKEN ARROW, OKLA (KTUL) — The Broken Arrow City Council has denied a rezoning request and conditional use permit for a proposed mosque near Olive Avenue after a contentious meeting that lasted four hours.
The decision came after the planning commission had approved the request last month.
The meeting drew strong opinions both for and against the project, with several speakers opposing it due to concerns about traffic on the two-lane road, stormwater and floodplain issues, and whether the development aligns with the city's comprehensive plan.
Rick Gates, a Wagoner County resident, expressed concerns about the financial implications, saying, "Maybe consider a different location. The expenses of building infrastructures and overbuilding, the existing infrastructure is going to be a lot of money and there is not going to be any return as far as sales tax."
Nearby business owners also voiced worries about potential congestion affecting customer access.
However, supporters of the mosque emphasized the importance of religious freedom and highlighted the contributions of Muslims to the community, including roles as medical providers, educators, and first responders.
Broken Arrow resident Sk Ahmed stated, "We just want to pray, that it. All we want to is just pray and that it nothing else."
The meeting concluded with some attendees leaving in frustration as the council decided to halt public comments.

If they want a different location for their unholy mosque, I hear New York City is very lovely this time of year especially with their new mooselimb commie overlord mayor.
“planning commission had approved the request last month.“
I think I see the problem
I don't believe a word of it.
A building to teach the terrorist political system called Islam - NO! An anti American system which calls for our destruction. Send it back to hell.
Same here. That’s what they all say, in the first stages of their conquest.
It’s Not a Religion
But
A WAR PLAN
Islam is EVIL and must be eradicated.
A quote from an 1899 book by Winston Churchill, "The River War", in which he describes Muslims he apparently observed during Kitchener's campaign in the Sudan
“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science - the science against which it had vainly struggled - the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.”
You’re preaching to the choir here.
Nuuk was in the news yesterday; today it’s Broken Arrow?
I don't believe a word of it.
And wisely so.
While it is true that they want to pray, their bible strongly suggests to us that they worship a God that is quite the opposite of the Christian God, that Jesus was no more than just a simple local prophet
"All we want to do is pray" is on a par with "the check is in the mail"
- at some point our nation has to recognize it and its Constitution is being played.

“We just want to pray. Our mosque will definitely not be a sleeper cell hub for terrorist activities. We are legitimate prayers people, I swear by allah.”
Even reading that which one might call recycled info from the past one gleans a great deal. I know that I got a lot of new info from that post.
There are many defective low IQ people among us that disagree.
GO BACK TO WHATEVER HELLHOLE YOU CAME FROM & PRAY THERE
If you don’t think Islam is a cancer, ask yourself, why would someone from a Muslim country want to live in a state like Oklahoma, Wyoming, Montana etc... Answer is easy, infestation. Same for Indians (not ours).
Diversity of Christian thoughts and beliefs is good. Diversity of colors in food and clothing, good. Diversity of migrants, very very bad.
If someone asked in a poll whether Muslims should be allowed into the US, the majority would say no. On Somalians? No. Go down the line, and tell me why those who are white are discriminated in immigration, while those who are from the bowels of hell and Mohammed are streaming in.
