Mosque approved in 5-0 Kennesaw City Council vote

KENNESAW — With a unanimous 5-0 vote Monday, the Kennesaw City Council approved a permit allowing an Islamic prayer center to open in a retail center, reversing its decision earlier this month to deny the request.

Kashif Islam said he was happy he was given the freedom to practice his religion in the retail center and that the vote ended peacefully.

“This is not life and death. We’ve been living in this neighborhood for 15 years. Have you ever seen us getting into trouble? No,” Kashif Islam said.

There are some 'lovely' comments with the article and some that are far more rational.
 
Good god some people are just flat out idiots. “They get a bunch of people in an area, and then they institute Sharia law, and then they beat their wives, et cetera, et cetera. I don’t want to go into all the other terrible things they do.... This is going to start happening all over the state."
 
I doubt any American Muslims would try to pull that sharia ****, this isn't England.
 
I wish the ignorants who go on about sharia law would just shut up and take a civics class. Sharia law can never take hold in the United States without overthrowing the Constitution.
 
Kennesaw, GA... it is no surprise all this is going on.

This is good news. Religious groups should not be denied their ability to build their church.

What I want to know is exactly why it is that this is news. Why is it that people are so doggone afraid of Muslims when we've killed a heck of a lot more of them than they have us.

And this couldn't be added to the first thread because?

It is already taken hold, just as Jewish religious law has taken hold. Are people not free to agree to what ever conditions they want as long as it is not against US law? So if 2 Muslims want to settle a dispute according to Sharia, is it not their right? If two Jews want to settle a dispute according to Jewish religious law..is it not their right?

As long as no US laws are broken yes, you are correct. And in that case from my viewpoint it's simply a custom not a law. But that's not what those moan about Sharia a Law taking root here mean. They mean replacement of US law with Sharia law.

Which can never happen, and has never happened anywhere in the western world. And you know as well as I do, that this is not what they are moaning about.. it is an irrational fear based on ignorance they are moaning over, because the thing they fear.. cant happen!

You mean it hasn't happened 'yet'. The Europeans are buckling under and Muslims know that. Any Europeans who protest against what's happening to their democracies are labelled 'right wing' and called racists, etc.

Europe will fall over the next 60 years or so and there is little that can be done to stop it..

It can not happen in the United States. I suspect it can't in the EU countries either.

I'm guessing what you're seeing is nothing more than the pains of integrating a different culture into European societies We've done it several times in our history. It's a long term good thing despite the growing pains.

Bla bla bla bla.. it wont happen as it would require changes to basic civil and criminal law.. and that wont happen. You are fear mongering, which is typical of you and your anti-Muslim brothers and sisters.
