US reviewing anti-Muslim school bias complaint

PITTSFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. —

The U.S. Attorney's Office in Detroit is reviewing a religious discrimination complaint against a community for denying a zoning change request to allow construction of a Muslim school.

The Michigan Islamic Academy wants to build at a 26-acre site in Washtenaw County's Pittsfield Township.

"We are reviewing the matter and whether to proceed with a formal investigation," Assistant U.S. Attorney Judith Levy told The Detroit News (http://bit.ly/soyS41 ) for a story Tuesday.

On Oct. 26, the township board rejected the request, following an earlier rejection by the township planning commission. School officials say the 200-student school is too big for its location in nearby Ann Arbor.

Township Supervisor Mandy Grewal said the decision isn't based on religion.

"We are an open, respectful and diverse community here in Pittsfield Township" Grewal said after the October decision. "We have a track record, most recently the planning commission approved a mosque."

The Council on American-Islamic Relations said the decision violated the First Amendment right of religious freedom, and it asked the Justice Department to investigate.

"We believe this is a blatant violation of the (school's) constitutional right to open the school on their property," said Lena Masri, a lawyer for the group.

CAIR is a terrorist front group. They need their assets seized, their databanks confiscated for document exploitation, and their leadership in Federal custody.

Holder is a racist bastard and so is his boss.

Ilsam is not a religion - its a form of theocratic Fascism.

Our Constitution does not account for infiltration by enemies under the guise and protection of religion.

I suppose it would take a Constitutional amendment to correct this. Not gonna happen of course.

Unless and until a carve-out is made to except islam from 1st Amendment protection, we will be forced to watch these people create a society hostile to our very existence.

As far as islam is concerned, our Bill of Rights is a suicide pact. No people should be forced by their own law to accept their annihilation. ‘F islam.

As far as I’m concerned, “diversity” is a filthier than “c**t”,the oh-so-wonderful word referring to a woman’s vagina.
