No Excuses Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 The very definition of privilege. Trump's deplorable America on full display. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2016/09/13/a-georgia-county-was-set-to-approve-a-new-mosque-until-an-armed-militia-threatened-to-protest/ Quote For decades, leaders in Newton County, Ga., have tried to make things easy for anyone who wanted to build a church, with zoning rules that have a “places of worship” exception to streamline the construction process. But recent plans for a mosque complicated things for county leaders. About a month ago, word spread that Muslims wanted to build the county’s first mosque on an empty plot at Highway 162 and County Line Road. Since then, a Muslim leader says, a quagmire of bureaucracy and “Islamophobic” public meetings have shined a glaring national spotlight on this county of about 100,000 people, 35 miles east of Atlanta. The latest wrinkle came this week, when county commissioners, citing security concerns, canceled a meeting that was expected to allow construction of the mosque to move forward. The concerns arose after a self-described militia group from a neighboring county posted a video on Facebook threatening to demonstrate outside the meeting with guns drawn.

thebluefood Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Huh, well...isn't that interesting? Sure would be a shame if this clear, and seemingly successful, act of intimidation were to inspire similarly minded people across this great land of ours. Wouldn't it?

PokerPacker Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I can see that militia now, exclaiming "Don't let the terrorists win" oblivious that they are, in fact, the terrorists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the Black Panthers started arming themselves in the 1960s, he suddenly found the need for California to enact gun control legislation. The NRA supported him and the new gun control laws, and the trend spread to other states and the federal government. A decade later, the NRA was taken over by the Harlan Cotter/Wayne LaPierre extremist faction, and it started opposing all gun control legislation., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
