| Some Little Rock residents oppossed to Muslim Community | |
| 2004-08-25 | |
The Islamic center in Little Rock is proposing to build a Muslim community at 40th and Potter Street, near the John Barrow neighborhood. The community would include houses, a school, a community center, and a mosque. Already some residents living near the proposed site have expressed concerns. Fearing Islam is associated with terrorist activity. Local Islamic leaders are asking residents to study the religion before judging it. They say Islam is a religion of peace, not terror. The planning commission will meet to discuss the site Thursday at 4pm.

| #1 Remember how communities used to designate themselves as "Nuclear Free Zones"? Well, what if a community made an official declaration that "Islam, the entire religion, is incompatible with freedom, democracy, civil rights, and equality before the law." As evidenced in *not* what is written about Islam, or excuses made for Islam, but how Islam is *practiced* in the world. |
