The American Islamic Center claims in the suit that aldermen violated its constitutional rights by refusing to rezone an industrial park to accommodate a mosque.

Does this make any sense at all..They told us no, so this means they violated their constitutional rights...We must sue to have our demands met and nobody is suppose to no to us ? Is what I gather from this story ??

You got it right.

Of course they could buy an existing church, and convert it.

That isn’t what they want.

Ah, but don’t they realize that Zoning laws trump the Constitution, The Torah, The Magna Carta, the Code of Hammurabi, and Even Sharia Law?/s

Seriously, though, it’s not discrimination if they don’t want any “houses of worship”, whatever the religion.

They want it in an industrial area so their bomb factory can use the same site.

It makes perfect sense to the perpetually outraged.

Your religious needs are not the governments job to fulfill, as Christians have been told time and again

Kelo revisted. Most zoning codes are bureaucratic attempts to manage growth. They failed in the free market, but can succeed via government fiat.

Here the politicians are hiding behind their zoning code which disallows that use. They could also argue that they need the revenue.

It’s time to eliminate the corporate income tax and start dismantling local zoning ordinances via the Commerce Clause. We can use Wickard v. Filburn since any economic act by anyone even within their own family was ruled to affect interstate commerce.

Who owns the property has the property rights, but this isn’t the case to use. We also will need a pro-Constitution POTUS.

If an area is zoned for industrial use, that seems to exclude the possibility of a mosque.

How is it a violation of constitutional rights to have a zoning ordinance which excludes certain uses of a property?

OF COURSE, IF a liberal judge hears the case, then zoning laws willall be changed per the whim of Muslim pressure groups.,

violated its constitutional rights by refusing to rezone an industrial park to accommodate a mosque.

It's an industrial park, designed to generate tax revenue and keep industry centrally located. Putting a tax-exempt "business" there would mean less space for a taxable entity and would probably mean higher taxes for the citizens.

I'd accuse the muzzies of trying to raise everyone's taxes by deception. When a muzzie tries something like this, going on offense is the best way to go; hit 'em back, hard!

Geniuses I tell ya. They are just Geniuses of the highest order these mooselime scholars...

Lawyers for the American Islamic Center, including former Cook County Commissioner Tony Peraica, compared the case to one in DuPage County, in which a judge ruled earlier this year that the county had to allow an Islamic worship center to open in a single-family home just outside Naperville.



yeah thats a GREAT COMPARISON....

mooselim lawyers....not a great deal different than the mooselim scientists in Syria who blame the trouble THERE on Globcal Warming

“I don’t care if they’re Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, whatever. It’s not zoned for that particular area,” said Ald. Mark Walsten, who was named in the suit because he voted against an amendment to accommodate the mosque. “Whenever there are children involved in an industrial area, I will not have that on my conscience.”


That’s the money quote. The council is being sued for not changing the zoning, but they have a legitimate reason for it. They also have the authority, whether anyone likes it or not. Unless you can prove religious discrimination (and the money quote precludes that), about the only thing you can do is try to vote them out of office.

We here at FR are quite aware that our elected officials make all sorts of decisions we hate, but like us, these guys will have to accept that life is just not “fair”. :-D

Thing is, the city planning Dept approved the mosque, then the city council denied it. Some of the businesses around there have concerns about traffic safety on Fridays.

Islam is a hate cult not a religion and therefore has no expectation of 1st Amendment protection.

In fact, every Mosque in the USA should be considered a weapons of mass destruction factory as the STATED GOAL of Islam is to convert or kill us. In this case we are talking about weaponize humans.

Unfortunately for all of us real Americans our government completely IGNORES this sworn goal of Islam.

In above link there is a posting by an American woman who settled Bosnian Muslim refugees in the US. Highlights:

” My entire immediate family and many friends were involved in helping re-settle refugees from various places in the world. My bad experiences with Bosnains were mainly related to the abuse of very young children (aged 2, 4 and 6) who were left unattended for hours at a time while the mother was out with other Bosnian women (also mothers of small kids) shopping for food and other things. It was not as if there [were] no sitters available. The apartment complex, which was a part of the re-settlement program, had a short term day care center for kids under 10 just for refugee residents. Granted there was a 3 hour time limit, but those Bosnians did NOT want to leave their kids with NON-MUSLIMS!! So to heck with them!! They ate pork, ham and drank beer so what’s up with playing the NON-MUSLIM card in regards to child care?

My daughter and one of her boyfriends were threatened by Bosnian men when they brought foodstuffs and a table over for some of the “lost boys from the Sudan” who lived in a “mixed” refugee apartment complex. My daughter was asked WHY she was helping “niggers”????? She was told if they ever came back something might happen to their car. See, Bosnians are like thugs. It is all for them and nothing for anybody else. “

Perhaps at one point inn time they were more secularized, more like other Europeans and not as corrupted by Islam, but apparently those days are long gone.

Anybody know how many Bosnian Muslims resettled in the US?

Ask any assistant principal or chief of police who the problem people are...

If any American politician had any guts at all they’d zone next door a pig farm.
