Judge dismisses most of suit challenging Tennessee mosque
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (ABP) – A judge has thrown out most of a lawsuit
seeking to halt construction of a mosque on the outskirts of
Murfreesboro, Tenn.
Chancellor Robert Corlew III ruled this week that 17 plaintiffs
challenging zoning approval for construction of a new Islamic Center of
Murfreesboro failed to prove they are being harmed by the project, the Daily News Journal reported.
The lawsuit,
filed last September, claimed plaintiffs “have been and will be
irreparably harmed by the risk of terrorism generated by proselytizing
for Islam and teaching the practices of Sharia law.
