    Essential Handbook for Communities Where Muslims are Seeking to Build or Expand Mosques
  

*by C***A on Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2017*

Any community facing a Conditional Use Permit seeking an Islamic Community Center (i.e., mosque) should read attorney Karen Lugo’s book. While it is not appropriate to read the Koran during city council meetings regarding the CUP, it is vitally important to insist that mosque sponsors fully disclose their operating plans and then stick to agreed operation times and traffic volumes. Too many city councils waffle when dealing with mosque CUP’s because they don’t know their legal rights or because they are intimidated by the overwhelming presence of seasoned mosque advocates. From 2011 to 2015, twenty-five percent of the DOJ Civil Rights Division’s caseload involved complaints over mosques and Islamic schools. That’s lawfare against communities.Ms. Lugo takes readers through the step-by-step process of reviewing and monitoring a CUP. She also includes horror stories of communities that waffled either due to ignorance of the law or indifference to the more compelling community interests -- blight, declining property values, and increased crime.  While Muslims have every right to build mosques and worship in peace in America, they also need to be "good neighbors."  This book will help community leaders ensure both.

    Required Reading for Planning Boards.
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2017*

An excellent, concise description and analysis of how Islamic groups across the US are using RLUIPA to further their projects, regardless of compliance with local zoning ordinances. Every municipality dealing with a mosque proposal in their community should  use this as a handbook in preparation for the likes of which they have never encountered with other land use applications.

    HOW TO BE PREPARED BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER MOSQUE CONSTRUCTION.
  

*by P***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2016*

Tells you everything you need to know as soon as you discover a mosque might be built in your neighborhood.  Also contains great information on oversight after it is up and running.  After you read it you will think of many more people who should get a copy.  So save yourself some time and order at least ten!
