The U.S. Department of Justice launched a civil rights investigation of the Lilburn mosque controversy that began when the Lilburn City Council voted 4 to 0 to deny a rezoning request by the local Muslim congregation of Dar-E-Abbas for a 20,000-square-foot mosque, cemetery and gymnasium on about 8 acres at U.S. 29 and Hood Road
Channel 2 investigative reporter Mark Winne confirmed that the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division is investigating the city of Lilburn’s treatment of a local mosque seeking to expand.
. . .
The U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division issued a statement to Channel 2 saying “The department has an ongoing investigation and declines further comment.”. . .
[Attorney for the Mosque] said one of four things could result from the DOJ investigation:
–DOJ could do nothing
–DOJ could intervene as a party in a current lawsuit
–DOJ could file a friend of the court brief
–DOJ could file it’s own lawsuit

Stop all mosque construction. Look to Europe to see what the spread of islam has brought them. Look at the no go zones in France that even the police will not enter. Anyone who doesn’t believe this will be coming to America is foolish. It is already happening in Dearborn MI. The expansion of Islam into our country will only bring more trouble and more suffering to our citizens and our future children.
