According to Bob and Laura Parks, the All Dulles Area Muslim
Society (ADAMS) bought a piece of land three years ago in a part of Virginia
that is “zoned agricultural, development is limited to one home per 10 acres
and connections to the public sewer line are generally prohibited” and “almost
all homes and farms utilize septic systems for waste. Many people have been
denied ‘special use’ permits in this area if their requirements failed the
zoning rules.” https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2017/06/28/pr-william-co-board-caves-gives-special-treatment-new-mosque/
But the proposed mega-mosque wants special treatment to tap
into the sewer system, while the surrounding residents were told to abide by
the zoning rules.
After a nine-hour hearing that lasted until 3 a.m., the
Board of Supervisors voted “yes” to the sewer exception. Corey Stewart, who ran
for governor of Virginia on the Republican ticket on a platform of America first,
voted “yes.” Building mosques in rural communities is not exactly America first.
How many more worshippers will be added in the future to the 500 proposed ones
today for the Nokesville mosque? What will be the impact on the sparsely
populated land in the area?
This property is agricultural and, as one lady testified,
people must eat first. If we keep taking land out of agricultural use and
change zoning regulations in order to accommodate a special religion because we
are afraid of expensive lawsuits from a group awash with money, we will find
ourselves exactly where the globalists want us to be, dependent on a few huge
farms who import our food from abroad because it is no longer produced here.
Accusations of Islamophobia, bigotry, and racism flew from Muslims
and their liberal friends who testified in support of their expansion of the ADAMS
mosque to Nokesville. Appealing to our Judeo-Christian faith and tolerance, and
to “what would Jesus do,” one Muslim speaker said that Jesus would vote “yes”
to allow the building of this mosque because Muslims are just like any other
religion, they want to get along with their neighbors and live in peace. But it
seems that Henrico County people may have a different story to tell:

The hearing and the public present was heavily loaded with mosque
supporters and many of the anti-permit locals who showed up to speak did not
get a chance to do so. According to Bob and Laura Parks, “The 1,000 or so
Muslims and liberal allies who showed up at the hearing could have easily
watched it on cable access television. They showed up in person to bully,
intimidate, and it worked. At the end of the night (morning), the mosque will
be built and allowed a sewage infrastructure no other resident could acquire
because it was never about equal treatment; it was about special treatment.” https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2017/06/28/pr-william-co-board-caves-gives-special-treatment-new-mosque/
Jim Lafferty, had he been given the chance to speak, would
have explained why the Virginia Anti-Shariah Task Force, which he leads, was opposed to a special caption permit for
the ADAMS mosque.
1.
“Contrary to what Muslims have testified, nobody
is depriving them from the right to worship. If the application conformed to
the Prince William County land-use regulation, no special exception would be
needed. As it stands, the ADAMS mosque is a very big building on a lot which
typically would be appropriate for a single family dwelling… On that issue
alone, this application should be rejected.
2.
You will also hear that the county cannot
sustain the cost of a suit by the Department of Justice and the Religious Land
use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) and a threatened suit by ADAMS
and CAIR. The Board has a responsibility to enforce county laws and regulations
even if the violator threatens to sue. The Board owes to the law-abiding
citizens of Prince William County to enforce the law.
3.
The Obama administration distorted RLUIPA for
its own political objectives. RLUIPA was passed by Congress to ensure that
religious buildings could not be treated differently than other uses, such as
movie theaters. Nowhere in the law does it require local authorities to waive
local regulations or laws for applicants who self-identify as a religious
institution.
4.
Shariah code is incompatible in a country of
free people. In America, we are ‘endowed by our creator’ with certain rights.
Each citizen has the same identical set of rights. Under Shariah, rights vary
by gender, religion, age, etc. Three minutes are insufficient to describe all
the rights which Americans would lose should we become subject to Shariah.
5.
This mega-mosque will dominate the free men,
women, and children in this rural community.”
This is very upsetting.
