Islamic center’s legal troubles first began in 2010, when Rutherford County residents filed a lawsuit alleging that Islam was not a real religion, but rather a “seditious cult” that intended to impose Islamic religious law on the U.S. government. Although that case was thrown out, a local judge picked the fight up again this May and ruled that the mosque’s building permits were invalid because the congregation had not provided “adequate public notice” of the construction. But thanks to U.S. Attorney Jerry Martin’s ruling yesterday in favor of the Murfreesboro congregation’s emergency petition — ultimately determining that the local judge could not hold the Murfreesboro mosque to the separate standard he had created in his May ruling — congregants will be able to worship in their newly-constructed mosque beginning today.
