Michigan Crowd Cheers When City Council Denies Muslims A Building Permit For A Third Mosque
A crowd of people cheered tonight when the Sterling Heights, Michigan, planning commission voted 9-0 not to allow the building of a proposed mosque (videos below).
People outside the Sterling Heights City Hall yelled, “No more mosque!” and “God bless America!”
The 20,500 square-foot Islamic house of worship would have been in a residential area, which opponents claimed would cause too much traffic and could be linked to Islamic extremism, notes WXYZ.
Mosque leaders reportedly offered to downsize the building, but to no avail.
“I think it is more about ignorance,” Imam Mohammad Ali Elah, of the Islamic House of Wisdom, told FOX 2. “To be honest with you.”[…]
Sterling Heights Mayor Michael C. Taylor said in a statement:
Sterling Heights has a solid reputation for inclusiveness and tolerance reflected in a wide variety of places of worship across the City, including a Sikh Temple, a Buddhist Temple and two existing Mosques.
Wild Thing’s comment………
I would like to see all the mosques gone.
Slowly some of America is beginning to fight back against the muslim encroachment.
I would reduce the dimensions of all mosques to the square footage of a one hole outhouse.
