More and more of this supremacism and expansionism:

NJ: Mosque planned in upscale residential neighborhood Creeping

Another local landmark about to be taken over, and once again a mosque in a zoning controversy. Not far from a $7M mosque we posted on a few weeks ago. via Bridgewater mosque backers eliminate plan for school; hearing Monday | MyCentralJersey.com | 

BRIDGEWATER — The backers of a proposed mosque on Mountain Top Road have submitted revised plans for the structure, eliminating an Islamic religious school that their lawyer said had become “a distraction.”

The Chughtai Foundation said the mosque will offer small daily prayer services, larger services on Fridays, a day care center, weekend religious classes and a variety of programs for young people and seniors.

The mosque would be built on the site of The Redwood Inn, a vacant banquet hall and a township landmark that the foundation rented from time to time for services, said the foundation’s attorney, Lloyd Tubman of Flemington.

But the proposal has raised the ire of residents who say they’re concerned about traffic and quality of life along the two-lane road, which is otherwise residential.

“There is no way that this mosque will not negatively affect the property values in this neighborhood,” wrote Stephen and Kathryn Bragg of Bridgewater in a Jan. 20 e-mail to the township. “Why would anyone on the Planning Board approve the destruction of a wonderful neighborhood? Please understand that families live here.”

Million dollar homes according to another article.

Adding another wrinkle, the Bridgewater Township Council has introduced an ordinance to restrict the location of houses of worship to parcels with access to major arteries such as state or county roads.

If passed, that ordinance could complicate Chughtai’s plan.

The mosque is scheduled to come before the township Planning Board at 7 p.m. Monday in a special meeting at Somerset County Vocational & Technical School Performing Arts Auditorium, 14 Vogt Drive.

Has anyone bothered to look into who is behind the mosque? Who funds the Sunni group? Who speaks at their current mosques? They do plan on segregating female worshipers – is that not a concern to Bridgewater residents?

Coincidence or not, Tubman went to law school at the Univ. of Minnesota. Maybe he’d like the mosque in his neighborhood?

I would really like to see a demographic study on the area so we can see if this mosque is even a legitimate need for the area Muslims. How many Muslims live within a 3 mile radius, and where is the closest mosque located?

[Devs30]

The old Courier News building is a viable option for their build. It is right off of a couple of highways, easy access and NO residential concerns. This option was brought up at the meeting tonight (where there were hundreds of people that packed a very large auditorium.) let's see if they are "open minded" enough to say "Hey, what a great alternative, and we won't be building on a narrow, long and winding road miles from any highway. We won't be causing chaos in the midst of a place of refuge for the residents that live there." Or is the reason behind the build to get into a particular location, we know the answer, let's see what happens.

Who cares? These liberal asses want this crap. Let them here the howling moonbat muzzies. Better there than where real people live.

Orthodox Synagogues are gender segregated

Traffic will be the least of the residents' problems, especially for parents of young children, if the British experience is anything to go by... http://crombouke.blogspot.com/2010/01/mosque-blight.html

Sadly I have mixed emotions about this. On one hand I know it's part of the muslim plan to infiltrate America and on the other hand I wonder if any of these wealthy residents ever got off their asses to DO something about this American problem until it came to their neighborhood? Did they go to Patriotic rallies? Belong to Patriotic organizations? Donate to Pamela and/or other Patriots? Email or call their local or Federal Reps? Did they vote for BHO? Prior to this proposed mosque, did they DO ANYTHING to preserve and restore America? Are they the same people who denigrate the Tea Party? The same people who call Pamela, Robert and us Atlas fans islamophobic haters or paranoid? I for one spend lots of precious time and money to support America and have grown tired of the head-in-the-sand types who only see the light of day when it's in their own backyard.

[Tom Billesley]

Consider whether that should be so.

[grimcargo]

Remember. If they build it. They will come. Like red ant hills...what you see above ground is not even half the story.

[Tom Billesley]

The mosque has to be built first, that way the currently resident non-muslims will take the property price fall rather than muslims moving into the area. Capice?

Heads up! http://www.examiner.com/law-enforcement-in-national/sharia-rally-nation-s-capital-to-feature-radical-islamist

[Mike.S]

This will Not stop until Mosques are seen from "Sea To Shining Sea!" I Still Remember 9/11! Never Forgive! Never Forget!

[lonestar]

These wealthy homeowners voted for the democrat party and bought into the tolerance bull****. They are getting what they deserve.

[Caleb Pfishter]

This oughta be good. NIMBY versus Islam. Given liberal courts, I'd put money on Islam over liberal property owners. OK, these NIMBY types are crying about parking, traffic, property values. While valid complaints on the quality of life score, they are insufficient to stop this Islamic intrusion so long as zoning restrictions are met.

This is not unlike the Ground Zero Mosque. Opponents do not have any law to prohibit its construction because the zoning has met compliance.

[Chris]

They claim that there will be child care, and activities for seniors. OK what will the child care consist of and what will be taught. We know and it is documented on pedifilia among Muslims. The marring of underage girls to aged men. What activities for the elderly? Mandatory conversion to Islam from Catholicism? How to instruct your grandchildren on proper wearing of a jihab or full muslim garb? I doubt that they will hold bingo night there. Just how many Islamic fanatics live in this neighborhood? A great question on the demographics of populas and religious diversity in the neighborhood. What about noise ordances? Will the call to prayer as in many communities be louder then needed and offensive to others?

[Caleb Pfishter]

Yes, these wealthy types, likely liberal voters as you suggest, do deserve what is about to happen to them. But it rains on the just and the unjust. The rest of us don't deserve it, but we will suffer just the same. Yet another consequence to the abandonment of the Christian principles upon which the country was founded. When you don't know where you're going in life, any train will take you there.

[Marc K.]

Who will simply say 'no'?

[Marc K.]

The wealthy are typically Democrats?

[Mac-101]

Good for them. Hopefully these people will awaken to the reasons Mosques are built and the destruction of the non-Muslim neighborhoods that occur! LOL!

[Margo]

Thank you Nat's daugher! You ar so right !

[When*Pigs8Fly]

That's the idea. The muslims find an area they'd like to take over , they build a mosque, start to hassle the residents, some people move, house prices drop (the colonizers rub their hooves in glee), and pretty soon they've got beautiful homes for half the price and it's the beginning of another muslim conclave.

[Umar]

I am muslim american. Build the mosque i say. stop tryin force your islamophobia on rest of america. the mosque in new york isnt ground zero lady... get your facts straight. it 2 and half blocks away. and YOU FAIL to mention that mulims were in towers working to support their families like all AMERICANS and were killed to. there were muslim firefighters,emt,paramedics all at that time of tragedy. I wont stop posting on this fear and hate site till it brought down.
allahu akbar
allahu akbar
allahu akbar

[grungyoldvan]

zoning has met compliance.
===

yes, thanks to a prostrating bloomberg..

besides pliant politicians, look for Agenda 21 anywhere muslims are colonizing...

[grungyoldvan]

airplane landing gear hitting the building technically makes the GZM part of ground zero..

you should know, as a muslim, that any muslims who die in the furtherance of killing the disbelievers of allah will be rewarded by allah...

don't act like you care if muslims die by jihad.. it's what you pray for..

[John]

Forget about these concerns regarding traffic and all that other tripe. We are reaching what in the terminology of the nuclear physicist is "critical mass". We need to stop this mosque nonsense once and for all.
As for the death lover Umar, ….Believe me, it is not fear, Umar, it is wisdom. The allah of the quran is not the Jehovah of the Jewish Tanakh, allah is a foreign god and that is why mohammed was rejected. Neither is the jesus of the quran the Savior of the Gospels. You think that because you can stand in judgement and curse the world for your diety that somehow you will escape the jugement of the Holy One. Well, Umar, think again. Jesus said, " I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive". And that is precisely what you have done. Umar, see sura 4:171 and 4:172, for it is in these that your false prophet has denied Christ is come in the flesh, which denial is the spirit of the antichrist, for Almighty God has visited His people indeed, and has walked the earth, and brought Salvation to as many as receive Him. He is the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, that One which said in His Revelation to John, " I am he that liveth , and was dead; and, behold , I am alive for evermore , Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death".
This is the One of which your false prophet said, "... the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah ." And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about …"
Isaiah the prophet faithfully set forth the Words of the Holy, "Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me".
This Umar, if you can receive it, is the Triune Jehovah, not your lie of the quran.
You may be reading this for the first time Umar, but it is indeed, The Holy Word of God.
The day is coming that you shall seek death and not find it.
Except you repent, you shall perish.

[and this..]

most of the ones that inherit their wealth end up feeling guilty thus voting dem

guilt pulls a TON of votes for the dhims

[When*Pigs8Fly]

You gotta know where you can stick your" allahu akbar" imbecile.

And there were so few muslims in the towers it's hardly worth repeating although those numbers seem to keep being inflated by apologist & appeasers.. I doubt the muslim perpetrators of mass murder of innocents gave a hoot about muslim collateral damage. BTW did you know there have been almost 3,000 terrorist attacks by muslims since 9/11?

BTW,You're either an American or not , no prefix accepted. My guess is your loyalty lies with islam and only islam, first. last & always.

Thanks for doing us a favor & not posting your taqiyya & kitman here anymore..

[Al]

Actually Mike, Bridgewater is the last republican township in NJ. We didn't vote for it!

[Al]

Sorry Mike. I meant to reply to "Lonestar".

[eib]

You lie.
You claim that Allah and God are the same.
They are not.
The Allah you worship is a demon, a spirit of the world.

Here is what you believe:
Undoubtedly, approving, believing, or accepting this call is considered Kufr (disbelief) and explicit error as it plainly contradicts the Noble Qur'an, the Purified Sunnah, and the Muslim Ijmaa' (consensus). It would also imply an agreement that the alterations done by the Jews and Christians are from Allah - Glory Be to Him. Moreover, it is not permissible to call churches, Allah's houses', as the Christians do not perform a correct worship that is accepted by Allah, and it is a kind of worship not based on Islam. Allah, The Most High, Says, "And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the hereafter he will be one of the losers." [Al-Qur'an 3:85]

Islam is not an Abrahamic religion.
Islam is a profane, corrupt monotheism, a mockery of true faith.
Your prophet is false.
Your culture is corrupt.
Your morality is destruction.
You have no hope.

[Telly]

So what?
Does that mean we are all really Muslims?

Get some perspective fool.

We, Modern Orthodox, have our own ways of doing things at temple and in our lives, but it's all a matter of choice. We encourage people who aren't into it to leave. Is that how you think Islam operates.

[Telly]

I'm not sure, but I don't think NJ residents who live in houses that look like Tony Soprano's house are typically the left wing pro-Islam type.

But I do agree with your point. There are local groups opposing mosques all over the US (and maybe some parts of Canada).

[Telly]

The old-money extremely rich are typically dems. The neighborhood in question here is definitely new-money. These people are more likely to be politically active and conservative leaning.

[Telly]

It's 2 1/2 blocks away from ground zero now? Strange how that building has the ability to move. An other strang phenomena is how Muslims keep dieing on a day that is now almost ten years in the past. It was originally 150, then 300. Now it's up to 1000.

But no Muslim firefighter, EMTs or policemen died in the attack. That is a simple fact.

BTW it is obvious you are not really muslim, just a cheerleader.

[Gerald]

There is no Allah but Shaitan and
Paedophile Muhammad is his demon.

[Cecilie]

OR ... don't allow any more mosques! We all know what they're used for.

[Cecilie]

I think it's 16,000 attacks actually. But that's only the lethal ones, of course.

[Umar]

I find it to belaughable at ppl who qoute bible verses when in bible women can be sold as servants and in qur'an a woman has same rights as a man. christians and jews and muslims all worship same god. it a fact though that ppl have gone astray by worshiping jesus pbuh. he never claimed divinity. he the was made a god at council of nicia. jesus said 'why do u call me good? when none is good but the father", in the lords prayer which jesus pbuh said "thy will be done" not my will be done. muhammad is the last and FINAL messenger. qur'an is word of god. it never changed. the bible has . it been altered , changed, mis-translated. the original doesnt even exist. but qur'an does. jesus was a prophet of allah. he worshiped allah alone. he prayed to allah, not himself. I am a proud muslim. i am a american. there was paramedics who were at ground zero. actually research it before spewing your crap. and yes my faith is in allah. first and foremost. for life of hereafter is better then this life. i will not be one those muslims who apologize for the extremist , disgusting terrorists. it not us muslims fault. blame terrorists, not the innocent muslims. you want toss blame , how about christians killing,raping and pillaging holy lands that was occupied by muslims before christians came and commited mass murder and called it a holy war. We muslims serve in us military as well. we are to fight against oppressors. bet you all didnt know that quran says to not kill innocent women,children,elderly,civilians. and should your enemy ask for refuge you are to treat him right. didn you know that muhammad told prisoners of war that if they taught 5 muslims to read ,then they were free to go? why do you all buy into this islamophobia crap???

[bume goes the dynamite]

how 'bout you wire up your suicide vest to your 'enter' key? (alledgedly)

Muhammad was a barbaric pedophile and Islam is A Political ideology NOT a religion.
