No Mosques allowed in TN

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100808/ap_on_re_us/us_mosque_opposition

Clearly those Muslims are antagonizing people. It's so offensive and disrespectful to build a mosque there.

In the Nashville suburb of Murfreesboro, opponents of a new Islamic center say they believe the mosque will be more than a place of prayer. They are afraid the 15-acre site that was once farmland will be turned into a terrorist training ground for Muslim militants bent on overthrowing the U.S. government.

The saddest and most ironic part is the study the article mentions, which is that the construction of structures like this actually prevent radicalization. So, congratulations to the people who are opposing this; you are actively sabotaging your own efforts.

Those who worship in the mosque will do so with the memory of 9/11. It's a whisper against terrorism.

Wow, just wow.ghoklebutter

I thought this was even worse than the TC's exerpt

"'They are not a religion. They are a political, militaristic group,' said Bob Shelton, a 76-year-old retiree who lives in the area."

A southern state passing bigoted legislation? Quick, someone alert the press.

All I recall reading about is misguided people protesting.

Edit: I now see your edited post which makes no mention of legislation. Carry on :P

I didn't see where in the article it said that no mosques are allowed in Tennessee. Did I miss something?

He probably meant it more as outspoken public opinion than actual legislation.

Wasn't it TN that's senator in running said they should secede? Now I agree with him, they need to stop shaming the USA, when our core foundation is based off of the freedom of religion. Yes, I know its not the whole State that is banning Mosques... but this is crazy.

I didn't read anything about legislation either, so unless I'M missing something too, I don't think you are.

That's a shame.

AHAHAHAHA OH LOOOORDY LOOOORDY LOOOORDY. The paranoid stupidity of some people is just astonishing.

Whoa. Reminds me of segregation, with the dogs. Building at ground zero is one thing, building in some obscure part of TN is quite another.. They are only messing up our fight to stop the mousqe at ground zero.herpderp9000

This is no different than people opposing any other religion coming into their communities.

There's a constant battle against hossidic(sp?) jews in my part of New York.

Supreme court case in 3, 2, 1,...

Legally, they don't have a leg to stand on.mattbbpl

Since when has this ever mattered? :P

That's ridiculous. People have the freedom to worship however they want so as long as it doesn't harm anyone else.Genetic_Code

Why would there be a Supreme Court case?

I was wondering the same thing.

More intolerance from our great nation. This country was founded on religious freedoms. Some people need to learn this. How pathetic.

That's racist.Shottayouth13-
