Georgia city reverses course, approves mosque in shopping center

The City Council of Kennesaw, a community of 30,000 residents 30 miles northwest of Atlanta, voted unanimously to allow the prayer center, city clerk Pam Davis said.

On Dec. 1, the council voted 4-1 to deny an application for the mosque, saying that zoning regulations did not allow a place of worship in that particular shopping center.

An attorney for Muslim residents of Kennesaw called that decision an attack on his clients' rights to freedom of religion under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and said he had recommended they file a lawsuit.

“I think it was a wise decision,” Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Washington, said of Monday’s vote to approve the mosque.

The shopping center will have to shut down during prayers so shoppers will not offend the Muslims

Kennesaw has a law that requires all homeowners to own at least one gun.

Yep. Fill the mall up with BBQ pork, honey baked ham, and sausage biscuits.

Better plan to run weapons sweeps on a randomly regular basis.

Islam is EVIL, and needs to be eradicated

Nah, they’ll turn it into a sh**house. Literally.

Watch the other stores gradually move out.

Nope. First, we need to kill all the Lawyers!

A town of 30K bending over to this? I live in a town of 8K. The next town over is 30K and VERY Liberal. I expect a mosque in the very near future.

We’re all so screwed. SO ABSOLUTELY SCREWED TWELVE WAYS FROM SUNDAY!

Who is not seeing what is going on here? Aarrgghhh!

The mall owners need to be educated that Americans do not want Islam in our country period. Tell the mall owners to go to hell, we will shop elsewhere until the mosque is gone...we have the power to tell the Muslims to go back to their asshat countries and bring them up to our standards of living...........

Time for a mall renovation. While renovating the washrooms, ensure that all stalls face Mecca and offer discounts for BBQ rib shacks locating near the mosque entrance. Perhaps a Christian music store in the mall near the mosque, that offers free Christian music concerts on alternating Fridays.

Yeah, sounds like a good place to open a Honey Baked Ham Co. franchise. Right across the parking lot from a Country’s Barbeque. I’d sit on the hood of my SUV and gnaw on a pig rib while they filtered out of their nest.

I know an American man that spent some time in Saudi Arabia, and he and his group were once invited to Friday gatherings. They were given front row seats at what turned out to be an execution ceremony.

Maybe not.

Maybe it will only be demanded that the Muzak stop and that the hideous “call to prayer” caterwaul be broadcast over the mall’s sound system five times a day.

You have a pseudo religion that is killing people around the world, killed Americans and foreign workers on 9/11 and the politicians are bending over backwards for these people. If just one Christian group stepped out of bounds for whatever the MSM would be on them 24/7/360 ..... oh, forgot, most politicians are liberals ...
