Michigan: Ground Broken in Residential Area for Mega-Mosque that Christian Refugees Opposed
Jihad Watch ^ | 8/23/20 | Robert Spencer

Posted on 08/25/2020 6:14:50 PM PDT by marshmallow

Fox 2 Detroit claims, without evidence, that “some of the past opposition” was “sparked by islamophobia.” But in reality, “some residents previously cited zoning rules and the residential nature of the neighborhood.” However, Osama Siblani, publisher of The Arab American News, said: “I do not buy that, I think they were using it as an excuse.” For “Islamophobia,” that is.

Well, maybe they were using it as an excuse, and maybe there weren’t. But now the precedent has been set, with the help of the Justice Department: Muslims can build a mosque absolutely anywhere they want, including in quiet residential neighborhoods, and obliterate all concerns about zoning and parking and the character of the neighborhood by charging that all such concerns are just cover for “Islamophobia.”

Also, it wasn’t the racist, redneck, “Islamophobic” yahoos of Leftist media myth who were opposing this mosque. It was Iraqi Christian refugees, who know very well from bitter experience what a mosque in the neighborhood means for non-Muslims. But their concerns were also brushed aside. It was all “Islamophobia,” you see. The Justice Department said so.

Get a Herd of Feral Hogs and place them on the Property with a food pile so they stay for a while. Then shoot a few of them, gut them, Quarter, Rib and Backstrap them out. Start the BBQ Pits/smokers and have a BIG-OL-PIG PARTY. Be sure to scatter the bones around the area, bury the Gut Parts all around and put the heads on pikes on the Property Lines.

First: it bothers me and rankles me as much as it does anybody else here, just as it is intended to do. It is an aggressive, in-your-face move that characterizes Muslim expansion. And I’ve heard the Muslim call to prayer blasted through tower speakers over the neighborhood—it is NOT the most beautiful sound ever, Barry.
But second: as a former Realtor, I know that in most, maybe all places in this country, zoning laws specifically disallow any restrictions on the location of a house of worship. You can put a Jewish Temple next to a factory, a Baptist church in the middle of a shopping area, and a Mosque in the middle of an overwhelmingly Christian quiet residential area. There may be some limitations on sounds that interfere with the quiet enjoyment of residents’ property, but that’s pretty much it.

Maybe they didn’t want amplified recording of the Islamist call to allegiance in their neighborhood multiple times a day from sunrise to sunset.

Call to Submission, not Allegiance. They are not “asking”.

They all bow to the global capital of the Islamic political empire.

5 times a day. Every day. That is allegiance.
