Obama’s DOJ Files Brief Supporting Tennessee Mosque
Ain’t no stopping them now, they’re on the move, and the terrorist-friendly DOJ – led by Eric Holder – has got their back. Picking and choosing local issues in the Obama administration
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Federal attorneys on Monday jumped into a court battle over the construction of a Tennessee mosque by offering legal proof that Islam is a recognized religion entitled to constitutional protection.
U.S. Attorney Jerry E. Martin of Nashville said his office would not sit by while mosque opponents raise questions in court about whether Islam is a recognized religion. Martin said in a statement that to suggest otherwise “is quite simply ridiculous.”
Martin’s office filed a brief saying as much in a state lawsuit brought by mosque opponents against Rutherford County for granting permission for construction of the building.
Mosque opponents are challenging whether the county acted properly in granting the construction permit. Their complaint claims that the county failed to determine whether the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro is entitled to protection under the First Amendment. They have also claimed that the county violated the state’s Open Meetings law in the approval process.
And now… the rest of the story. …..
