Fox 2 Detroit claims, without evidence, that “some of the past opposition” was “sparked by islamophobia.” But in reality, “some residents previously cited zoning rules and the residential nature of the neighborhood.” However, Osama Siblani, publisher of The Arab American News, said: “I do not buy that, I think they were using it as an excuse.” For “Islamophobia,” that is.
Well, maybe they were using it as an excuse, and maybe there weren’t. But now the precedent has been set, with the help of the Justice Department: Muslims can build a mosque absolutely anywhere they want, including in quiet residential neighborhoods, and obliterate all concerns about zoning and parking and the character of the neighborhood by charging that all such concerns are just cover for “Islamophobia.”
Also, it wasn’t the racist, redneck, “Islamophobic” yahoos of Leftist media myth who were opposing this mosque. It was Iraqi Christian refugees, who know very well from bitter experience what a mosque in the neighborhood means for non-Muslims. But their concerns were also brushed aside. It was all “Islamophobia,” you see. The Justice Department said so.
“After years of roadblocks, ground finally broken on mosque in Sterling Heights,” FOX 2 Detroit, August 20, 2020:
STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. (FOX 2) – It has been a point of contention for years, but now a new mosque is under construction in Sterling Heights.
“My mother, her father is a World War I veteran and we love this country and everyone is entitled to freedom of religion,” said Faye Hashem. “As long as there is peace and love – that is all that matters.”…
Erecting a place of worship isn’t necessarily something you would gather media together for, but in this case controversy has surrounded building a mosque for years wiht [sic] some of the past opposition sparked by islamophobia….
“This is not about an Islamic center or a mosque it’s about our freedom of religion,” said Osama Siblani, publisher of The Arab American News.
Some community members have used every legal tool at their disposal to block the building. They were upset that Sterling Heights struck a deal with the US Justice Department to allow the mosque after the DOJ sued the city for not allowing the plan to proceed.
Some residents previously cited zoning rules and the residential nature of the neighborhood.
“I do not buy that, I think they were using it as an excuse and the federal government intervened and the victory here today, is that we’re building a mosque,” Siblani said.
The city manager, police chief, some city council members and Congressman Andy Levin (D-9th Congressional District) were in attendance.
“The story of AICC, is no different than my Jewish family’s story,” said Levin. “Sometimes there was controversy and sometimes we were not welcome, but in the end we all came together as Americans.”
RichardL says
I am not too worried about this country going down the same route as Europe. Americans are tolerant and generous to a fault, but when islam tries to do what it has done in France, the UK, Germany they will act. It is important though to act wherever islam creates a self-sustaining society like in Detroit or Minneapolis. Then it gets difficult.

America must forbidden building mosques like Czechia did. It is the first stage to stop them,
Reziac says
The first step is to recognize that mosques are a political statement of conquered territory, and stop regarding them as ‘religious’ institutions and thereby protected under the First Amendment.
yiyoya says
To Reziac, the first step is to realize that Islam IS a religion and it is BECAUSE Islam is a religion that Islam is so dangerous.
Some religious conservatives pretend Islam is NOT a religion only an ideology because they want to whitewash and protect the concept of religion as such. In their minds religion can never lead to evil only good. I strongly suspect that one of the major reasons the low IQ religious conservative, George W. Bush, called Islam “a religion of peace” is that his religious mind couldn’t conceive that religion can be evil.
It is dangerous to pretend that Islam is NOT a religion.
“Conservatives are uncomfortable with these facts [Islam is a religion] because they are religious themselves, and they want religion and faith to be [only] good things. But discomfort with facts doesn’t alter them. And wanting things to be good doesn’t make them so….
If Westerners want to win the cultural war against Islam, we must accurately identify Islam for what it is. It’s a religion.
Why does it matter whether we call this religion a religion? It matters (among other reasons) because recognizing Islam as a religion is the first step in dealing with the problem of jihad—a problem that is much broader than the tenets of Islam calling for the submission or murder of infidels. As I show in “Islamic Jihad and Western Faith,” the fundamental problem is not the specific tenets of Islam, but the idea that faith is a means of knowledge.” – Objectivist philosopher Craig Biddle

Islam is both a religion *and* a violent supremacist creed.
gravenimage says
Maria, I have been unable to find any information confirming that the Czech Republic has banned the construction of Mosques. Citations?
yiyoya says
To “gravenimage” you posted, “Islam is both a religion *and* a violent supremacist creed.”
That is true enough but my point is deeper than that. Islam is a religion. And it is violent and dangerous BECAUSE it is a religion. Islam’s faith-based religious nature is the DIRECT cause of it’s supremacist ideology.
“Islam has all of the essential characteristics of a religion. It has a metaphysics of “God”: the idea that there is an all-powerful, all-knowing, all-good being who is the creator of the universe, the source of all truth, and the maker of moral law. It has an epistemology of faith: the idea that knowledge can be acquired by accepting ideas as true when there is no evidence in support of them. It has a moral code that follows from those basic characteristics: the idea that being moral consists in having faith in God’s existence and obeying his will. And it has a politics that follows from all of that: the idea that the only legitimate laws are those set forth or sanctioned by God…
If people can know by means of faith that God exists, what He wills to be true, that His will is the moral law, and what He commands people to do, then they can know literally anything to be true. If a person’s “spiritual sense” tells him that God says he should love his neighbor, then he knows he should love his neighbor. If it tells him that God says he should love his enemies, then he knows he should love them. If it tells him that God says he should turn the other cheek if someone strikes him, then he knows what to do when that happens. If it tells him that God says to kill his son, then he knows he must do so. If it later tells him that God says not to kill his son, then he knows he should not. If it tells him that God says he should convert or kill unbelievers, then he knows he should convert or kill unbelievers. If it tells him that God says the Koran is the word of God and that if he fails to believe and obey every word of it he will burn in hell, then he knows that to be true. . . .
Either faith is a means of knowledge, or it is not. If it is a means of knowledge, then it is a means of knowledge. If faith is a means of divining truth, then whatever anyone divines by means of faith is by that fact true. If faith is a means of knowledge, then the tenets of Islam—which are “known” by means of faith—are true, in which case Muslims should convert or kill infidels. By what standard can an advocate of faith say otherwise? . . .
To lend credence to the notion that faith is a means of knowledge is to support and encourage Islamic regimes and jihadist groups at the most fundamental level possible: the epistemological level. It is to say to them, in effect: “Whatever our disagreements, your method of arriving at truth and knowledge is correct.” Well, if their method is correct, how can the content they “know” by means of it be incorrect?” – Craig Biddle

…………………………..
The idea that religion in general is violent is mistaken. Most faiths are not, in fact, violent. Where are Christians, Jews, Hindus, or Buddhists waging violent Jihad? They are not.
Then, Fascism and Communism are not religions–are you then claiming that the Nazis were not violent and dangerous?
I agree with Objectivist Craig Biddle on a lot of points, including his warnings about Islam.
But some–not all, but many–Objectivists believe that all religions are equally harmful–which, I hasten to add, is not actually objective at all.
yiyoya says
To gravenimage, “But some–not all, but many–Objectivists believe that all religions are equally harmful–which, I hasten to add, is not actually objective at all.”
Objectivism does not claim that all religions are equally irrational, equally harmful, or equally violent, but Objectivism does argue that “faith” is an invalid method of attaining knowledge, it is no method for attaining knowledge, faith is an irrational method of attaining knowledge and therefore dangerous. The crucial, fundamental, issue is not religion versus secular philosophy, the crucial issue is reason versus faith. Just because a political philosophy (communism, nazism, fascism) is atheistic does not make it scientific or rational.
“Has no religion, in your estimation, ever offered anything of constructive value to human life?
RAND
Qua religion, no—in the sense of blind belief, belief unsupported by, or contrary to, the facts of reality and the conclusions of reason. Faith, as such, is extremely detrimental to human life: it is the negation of reason. But you must remember that religion is an early form of philosophy, that the first attempts to explain the universe, to give a coherent frame of reference to man’s life and a code of moral values, were made by religion, before men graduated or developed enough to have philosophy. And, as philosophies, some religions have very valuable moral points. They may have a good influence or proper principles to inculcate, but in a very contradictory context and, on a very—how should I say it?—dangerous or malevolent base: on the ground of faith.”
“You are probably wondering here: “What about Communism? Isn’t it a logical, scientific, atheistic philosophy, and yet doesn’t it lead straight to totalitarianism?” The short answer to this is: Communism is not an expression of logic or science, but the exact opposite. Despite all its anti-religious posturings, Communism is nothing but a modern derivative of religion: it agrees with the essence of religion on every key issue, then merely gives that essence a new outward veneer or cover-up.
The Communists reject Aristotelian logic and Western science in favor of a “dialectic” process; reality, they claim, is a stream of contradictions which is beyond the power of “bourgeois” reason to understand. They deny the very existence of man’s mind, claiming that human words and actions reflect nothing but the alogical predetermined churnings of blind matter. They do reject God, but they replace him with a secular stand-in, Society or the State, which they treat not as an aggregate of individuals, but as an unperceivable, omnipotent, supernatural organism, a “higher unseen power” transcending and dwarfing all individuals. Man, they say, is a mere social cog or atom, whose duty is to revere this power and to sacrifice every thing in its behalf. Above all, they say, no such cog has the right to think for himself; every man must accept the decrees of Society’s leaders, he must because this is the voice of Society, whether he understands it or not. Fully as much as Tertullian, Communism demands faith from its followers and subjects, “faith” in the literal, religious sense of the term. On every account, the conclusion is the same: Communism is not a new, rational philosophy; it is a tired, slavishly imitative heir of religion.” – Leonard Peikoff, “Religion vs. America”

Worst of all is that Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, et al. don’t get to go to Muslim countries and preach their faith and build their houses of worship without fear of mortal danger. But Muslims in full parasitic and hypocritical mode do exactly this in Western countries virtually free of any mortal threats. My God, what a monstrosity Islam is.

In the Normal Assumed View …. a mosque is on a par with a church, or a synagogue. Not so. A mosque, as former professor of Islamic law, Sam Solomon, explains, is NOTHING LIKE A CHURCH.
Every mosque is modelled on Mohammed’s first mosque in Medina. It is where military training takes place, where punishments are decided, where jihad plans are made and expeditions launched; it is a court, a school, a forum where news of sex-slaves can be exchanged, and where a market can be set up for forged passports and the like. It is an assembly space where tabs can be kept on others: members can observe who is failing to attend; pressure can be put on any brother whose daughter is not wearing Islamic attire, or being too Western. It is a place for reinforcing Islamic apartheid. Non-muslims are NOT PERMITTED in the worship, where the fiery sermons instructing hatred are given. “Between us and you enmity and hatred forever…” says Koran 60:4, part of Islamic law. The mosque is the place for furthering Islam’s commanded mission — to make all people everywhere Islamic, by force if needed, in the commanded Global Caliphate.

I knew Mosques are sometimes a place for weapons storage, but your expanded list of the sinister things for Islamic scheming in Mosques needs to be known, even though many will not believe it.
Mosques are not like nutrients for the body, but like a cancerous growth, despite their being some benign Mosques “in the land”. Talk about mischief !
Mosques are often statements of invasion and, ultimately, conquest and supremacy. Islam means submission to Allah.
As most JW readers know in Saudi Arabi churches are not allowed to be built; and in Islamic countries that have churches they are not allowed to expand or even be repaired (Pakistan is an example) – proving that the Islamic declaration “there is no compulsion in religion” is a ‘grave’ deceit for all other religions except Mohammadism.

I used to live near here, and to be honest, it was one several reasons I moved away. This is a RESIDENTIAL neighborhood, and it is NOT Dearborn. This area is heavily Catholic. There are other mosques somewhat nearby, and it is not needed, since there is not that large of a muslim population.
This began during the Obama admin, and the city tried to get it stopped, but got pushed through by Obama judges. There is inadequate parking on site, and they will have to bus people into what is primarily a residential area. It was completely against the zoning of the city, yet they were forced to let them build this, and pay thousands in court costs. Plus… it is with a mile or so of two DIFFERENT Chaldean organizations. The same Chaldeans who were oppressed by Muslims.
On a different note: there is another mosque city in the area: Hamtramck that was primarily Polish. It has been taking over by first Bosnians/ Serbians, and now Muslims. Many of the problems people had back in Europe were settled here using techniques like “murder.” I fear the will happen now in Sterling Heights; the muslims and Chaldeans will probably not live in peace, and the area will, unfortunately, go bad.

“The United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan congratulates the American Islamic Community Center (AICC) on the beginning of construction of its new mosque in Sterling Heights, Michigan, which was the subject of an earlier federal lawsuit brought by the Justice Department… We are so pleased that the U.S. Attorney’s Office could assist AICC in its journey.”
DoJ filed suit in December 2016, and settled in February 2017. In 2017-2019, Republicans controlled all three branches of government, and could have repealed the statute on which the lawsuit was based. They chose not to do that. Even now, the Trump DoJ is “pleased” to “assist” in the construction of a huge mosque in a residential neighborhood.
Neither major party stands against Islam. Pence claimed falsely that banning Islamic migration would be unconstitutional, even though in reality non-resident aliens have no right to enter (let alone immigrate to) the USA. Only a small number of candidates dare to speak candidly about Islam. An even smaller number of elected and appointed officials dare to do what they can to protect the USA from Islamic subjugation.
I think it will take at least a generation for the USA to begin seriously resisting Islam. By then, several western European countries will have past the point of no return. France, Belgium, and Sweden are already 10% Muslim, and are already suffering from Islam. In a generation or two, Muslims will be >20% of the adult population, and subjugation will become unstoppable: they will end up Islamic “republics” with Muslim majorities. As those countries sink into disaster, others may heed their cautionary example.

This is just the beginning of the islamic migration invasion of America. The invasion of Europe by muslim immigration is about ten years ahead of what is happening here in the U.S.A. If our political leaders do nothing this invasion will be coming to a neighborhood near you shortly and won’t be just the building of a mosque.

Don’t you like the double speak by Osama Siblani? If the Citizens of Detroit, Sterling Heights exercised their First Amendment Right of Free Speech & citing Zoning Laws, it summarily rejected as “Islamophobia”. It’s ok for Siblani to Bully those citizens against the building, then proclaim it’s about Freedom of Religion (also part of 1st Amendment) and states: “This is not about an Islamic center or a mosque it’s about our freedom of religion,” said Osama Siblani, publisher of The Arab American News.
Hey, simply Pick & Choose your Amendment and deny those who don’t agree with you their Right to Free Speech!
But that’s the Islamic Movement in America – use the First Amendment to Destroy the First Amendment. Use the Constitution to Destroy the Constitution!

Grimly true. Muslims will use our civilized laws to try to destroy us.
Walter Sieruk says
Many of the scholars of Islam , as the former Muslim Dr. Daniel Shayesteh, that Muslims building a mosque in a non-Islamic country has the symbolic meaning of the authority of Islam over that nation and land

Funny that as a planning commisioneer I’m no Chaldean nor anti Islamic. This development met none of the special land use requiment to even be considered a yes vote. That’s why I joined the lawsuit to uphold the oath I took as a planner adhering to the Michigan zoning and enabling act that all Michigan cities and township’s must adhere to. As for Soblani his garbage news paper is constantly full of lies and he in no way is he representative of any actual journalism integrity. Remember he’s still hates Israel and is still in opposition of any peace deals in the middle east.

Don’t know about the CIA but what is seldom spoken about is how poorly funded most intelligence agencies and police forces are compared to billionaire jihadi and Islamist douchebags.
