N.J. Town Must Pay Islamic Group $3.25 Million To Settle Discrimination Lawsuit

A New Jersey town must pay $3.25 million to a local Islamic society and allow it to build a mosque, ending a years-long dispute.

This is the result of settlements finalized on Tuesday stemming from two separate federal lawsuits against Bernards Township, in central New Jersey.

The $3.25 million settles the lawsuit filed by the Islamic Society of Basking Ridge. And the ISBR will be allowed to move forward with its plans to build a mosque as a result of a lawsuit filed Justice Department.

"Federal law requires towns to treat religious land use applications like any other land use application," acting U.S. Attorney of the District of New Jersey William Fitzpatrick said in a statement. "Bernards Township made decisions that treated the Islamic Society of Basking Ridge differently than other houses of worship."

Islam is a form of government, not just a "religious belief". We should not allow another government to build strongholds here in the USA.

They can go to the countries run by Islam and build there.

Every one of you that posted here, you need to stop calling yourselves patriots, and stop calling yourselves Americans, and start calling yourselves theocratic religious extremists.. because that's how you are acting.

This country is founded on liberty and freedom... on of the inalienable rights is that of religious liberty. The original settlers came here to escape religious persecution, and many Muslims in this country are doing the same... escaping Islamic extremism to peacefully practice their brand of religion.

I'm Conservative and I'm atheist. I understand our freedoms and respect them. The establishment clause.. no religion gets special treatment.

Ya'll need to start acting like Patriots and Americans, and not this facist nationalist theocratic farce you pretend this place is.

The funny thing, is that the facts, history, the Constitution, and the truth are on my side. A Patriot defends the Constitution. You don't?

Tell you what, why don't you try again, and add a little bit of substance to your presentation, instead of waltzing in with ad hominem attacks and no real arguments.

I think it's obvious who looks like a clown.
