There is an obvious surge in Mosque construction, and Mosque proposals across America. This time the battle is taking place in Brooklyn NY, where Muslims are trying to build a Mosque on a residential block.

4) Neighborhood character. The site of the new construction used to be a private residence where an elderly couple lived for many years. Replacing this two story building with a structure meant to accommodate dozens if not hundreds of people will completely change the block and the neighborhood. There are no houses taller than 2 stories on either side of the street; every house is a one family residence. The neighborhood residents are mostly of Italian/Russian/Jewish/Irish decent and will not benefit from having a mosque and a Muslim community center. Some neighbors expressed security concerns as well as concerns about increased (again) traffic, noise and decreased parking associated with greater than before police presence.

As in NY, Staten Island, Tennessee, and Wisconsin, non-Muslims are finally fighting back. The organization that is selfishly building this Mosque, is the Muslim American Society. They are the same group that is behind the Staten Island Mosque.

The fight against this Brooklyn Mosque is being lead by Bay People. If you can show up at the protest, or can support them in anyother way, please visit their site. Which can be found HERE.
