Proposed mosque in Tennessee sparks debate

simply ridiculous."
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Federal attorneys on Monday jumped into a court battle over the construction of a Tennessee mosque by offering legal proof that Islam is a recognized religion entitled to constitutional protection.
Mosque opponents are challenging whether the county acted properly in granting the construction permit. Their complaint claims that the county failed to determine whether the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro is entitled to protection under the First Amendment. They have also
U. S. Attorney jerry E. Martin of Nashville said his office would not sit by while mosque opponents raise questions in court about whether Islam is a recognized religion. Martin said in a statement that to suggest otherwise "is quite

claimed that the county violated the state's Open Meetings law in the approval process.
Martin said his office was not intervening in the lawsuit itself to take sides, but attorneys felt the need to weigh in on issues raised during three days of testimony in Rutherford County Chancery Court.
"Plaintiffs' implication that Islam is not a recognized religion by the United States is wrong and is not supported by any authority whatsoever," he said. "The right to assemble and worship as you
please was literally the genesis of this country"
Martin said during the testimony, a county official was questioned on whether Islam was a federally recognized religion.
"All three branches of the government have repeatedly recognized Islam as a religion," he said.
He also noted that Congress enacted the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act in 2000, which specifically forbids local governments from using land regulations to unfairly prevent people from building churches, synagogues, mosques or other places of worship.
Martin said his office and the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division have been monitoring the case and doing outreach with Muslims in the area.
Although Martin said the lawsuit was a local matter, he added that the Justice Department supports the county's decision to approve the site plans earlier this year.
The lawsuit asking a judge to stop the construction is ongoing.
