Hello,

I am ashamed and angered at this news, and I sincerely hope these permits were denied for legitimate zoning reasons and not for reasons of faith.

I know that the staunch conservative voices on this board will unanimously speak out against any trampling of Constitutional Rights and Civil Liberties. Momentarily, their voices will fill these digital halls with resounding condemnation. Surely, the actual real-life trampling of the Constitution right now will anger them more than any theoretical trampling of the Constitution under some worst-case-scenario imagined future implementation of Sharia Law.

You just watch, Niki. I'll lead the charge, as the first conservative voice speaking in defense of the Constitution.

I'm sure they'll be along any second now...


Meanwhile, I'm afraid you'll have to hang out with a few of us pesky liberals.


One of the places that was denied a permit in Tennessee really *WAS* a legitimate zoning beef: not enough parking spaces were allotted. However, one of the councilmen who denied them the permit for that reason did admit that had it been a Baptist church, they'd have issued the permit, because "they know how to park".

On this matter, make no mistake. I want you to go fuck yourself long and hard, as well as anyone who agrees with you. I got no use for you.

Fuck you, you cock sucking community activist piece of shit.

Do I count as a sockpuppet of my old name now, if I say exactly who I am?
Perhaps a more important question, is it less confusing now??

Yeah, the silence is absolutely resounding. But then, it always is in such situations.

And yup, the zoning thing for "parking" was a ploy. In another one, there WAS a legitimate reason; they'd been given a permit to have a mosque in a residential area, and wanted to add on to it, which was voted down. But the parking thing? To say they'd have okayed the Baptists but not the Muslims, whether it's because they think Baptists can park, makes it pretty obvious.

The Chicago one is even moreso.

The city has denied a special use permit that would allow a mosque to replace a shut down hot dog grill.

It's based on the need to generate tax revenue on the former site of the original Fluky's and later U Lucky Dawg, at 6821 N. Western Ave.

"Our neighborhood is probably one of the most diverse neighborhoods in the city of Chicago," said Zandel.

Zandel says the organization's 200 members include a strong Muslim presence.

"Our membership is probably made up between 30 and 40 percent Muslim," she said.

Yet in spite of that, the chamber is opposing construction of the mosque on the site.

It's the same neighborhood where the former hot dog restaurant along busy Western Avenue has sat vacant for two years.

Given it happened in August of this year, and the call for "no more mosques" at ALL, I'd like to know if they'd deny the permit if it were a "Baptist church" too, AND if they'd have denied the permit at any other time in the past...the same for the "parking" excuse.
