Georgia town bans mosque in controversial vote

[SwimDeep]

I want to move back ITP.

That letter is ridiculous and I'd be reporting that shit.

Also, fuck these anti-Muslim people. One can't say "Well, that's the South for you" considering the outrage over the mosque near the WTC here. Yeah, the argument against here didn't have much to do with people here being super Christian, but the animosity towards Muslims in these situations is the same. Awful.

What the everloving fuck. Revolting.

OTP and ITP - Outside/Inside the P? (Proper? Atlanta Proper? or someother P word?)

I thought I heard that a Grand Wizard of the KKK lived/s in Kennesaw.

My H has a lot of family that lives in Kennesaw. I'm surprised 0 that this is coming out of that place.

A small Georgia city has voted to ban an Islamic group from renting a retail space to open a temporary mosque in the city, even after the landlord agreed to the deal.


Anti-Muslim protesters stood outside the meeting with signs such as “Ban Islam” and “Islam Wants No Peace!”


“I’m open, I’m inclusive. Christianity does teach love, inclusiveness, creating a better environment for everyone.”

Is that last quote performance art? Or did his explode after saying it?

Wow. What the f is wrong with people.

mskitkat - that letter sounds insane! How awful.

I think the worst part was that my REA had no idea it was obscenely racist. When I replied back something about not being comfortable with the desired outcome of a project being a reduction of diversity, she sent back something bubbly about maintaining the charm of the city.

The existence of that letter is exhibit A for proving why I would want my child to go to a diverse school.
