First Prayer Service Held At Murfreesboro Mosque In Tennessee

The Islamic Center of Murfreesboro in Tennessee official opened today after a long legal battle with local residents who filed a lawsuit to prevent the mosque from being built. Residents claimed that Islam is not a religion but a “seditious cult” and that the Islamic center was set on imposing Sharia law. After a state judge shut down construction, a federal judge last month granted a request for an emergency order that would allow the center to open.

Aside from the legal battles, mosque officials also had to endure, as one local reporter put it, “vandalism, some racist comments and even a number of bomb threats.”

But the Islamophobic backlash failed to deter the local Muslim community and its allies. “There is no conflict in being a good Muslim and being a good American. There is no conflict being a good Jew and a good American. There is no conflict in being a good Christian and a good American,” said mosque Imam Ossama Bahloul, “Let this building be a sign of that.”

Reporter Bob Smietana said that between 400 and 500 were in attendance. “The new place is packed,” he said according to a live blog at the Tennesseean.

“Some people said this is something you can no do as a community. Well we did it,” Ossama Bahloul said.
