Georgia city reverses course, approves mosque in shopping center
Yahoo News / Reuters ^ | 12-15-2014 | David Beasley

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.

There is an Islam “outreach” center in a nearby town. It has cameras at every possible angle around it. You can’t get within a half city block of it without being caught on camera.

Follow the money trail. Those politicians are getting something in return. What?

Side note. Wasn’t Kennesaw next to Stone Mountain? Where have all those boys gone?

Here’s hoping some squared away citizen with the relevant expertise burns it to the ground (w/o catching shrapnel from the exploding jihad supplies).

mosque in shopping center

That's what I would call the Muslims putting the arsenal right on top of the target.

Opposite sides of the city of Atlanta.

I was wondering how long it would be before a tragic bacon spill happened just inside the front door.

With any luck they'll never get the smell out.

A dog grooming business would be good on the other side.

A mosque was also approved in Lilburn, GA and other small towns even though traffic, noise and zoning should have pre-empted them. The doj was filing lawsuits that small towns simply cannot afford to fight. The “money trail” is actually OUR tax dollars that the doj has decided to use against the taxpayers. BTW, Stone Mountain is about an hour away from Kennesaw.
