New Jersey Town Denies Zoning Approval for Mosque, So Obama Admin Intervenes


The Obama administration is protecting Muslims once again. Now, they’re trying to force a city in New Jersey to build a mosque that isn’t permitted to be built.

The Justice Department announced on Tuesday it is suing Bernards Township, N.J., because it denied zoning approval for the Islamic Society of Basking Ridge to build a mosque on land it owns.

The township in December unanimously voted down the Islamic Society’s application to build a mosque, which the Justice Department says violates the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act.

In the complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, the department said the denial was discriminatory based on the Islamic Society’s members’ religion. The denial imposed a substantial burden on the Islamic Society’s religious exercise, according to the complaint, it said.

Despite the fact that the mosque would violate a valid law, the Obama administration wants it built, anyway. But they’ll have to get this done quick, because it’s doubtful that these lawsuits will continue under Trump’s administration.
