New Mosque (on site of 30-year-old replaced mosque) opens in Tennessee, with American judicial system protecting their Constitutional rights, and overturning attempts to stop it by locals embracing freedom of religion for only themselves, but not for others.
Quote:
Although Muslims have worshipped at the existing mosque for 30 years, protests erupted shortly after plans for the new mosque were approved in May 2010.
Opponents spent two years in court trying to force the county to halt construction.
Attorneys for the opposition claimed that Islam is not a valid religion and that mosque members were part of a plot to overthrow the U.S. Constitution and replace it with Islamic law. Those claims were thrown out by the local judge.

Welcoming good Christian Baptists across the street put up rows of white crosses, to remind those Muslims whose god was best. Sorta weird, as Muslims believe Moses and Jesus are important prophets to listen to.
