Mosques

OXFORD, Miss. — A federal judge in Mississippi encouraged the city of Horn Lake and its board of aldermen to voluntarily enter into settlement negotiations with individuals who were denied approval to build a mosque. The mosque founders allege the project was denied due to anti-Muslim prejudice and that an alderman told a local newspaper: “I don’t care what they say, their religion says they can lie or do anything to the Jews or gentiles because we’re not Muslims.”
