Petition addressed to: Mayor of Clermont, Florida Tim Murry
Many of those who signed the petition to not allow the “expansion” of this mosque is in my opinion a Islamphobic person. To state that this will effect “traffic” as if there isn't already traffic in that area and clermont is already being reconstructed as we speak. Newer areas to remodel the county. Many also argue that they will enforce sharia law, how can you enforce a law when you’re not in power? These muslims solely want to create a livable-safe place to practice and worship their god. Why do Christians tell us Jesus loves us but treat us this way? If you love someone, wont you respect their religion? This is beyond disrespectful to every 900 people that signed that petition.
Second, these folks has been here for 15 years and bothered NO ONE! It is only right to allow them to remodel and have a beautiful, safe place to worship. By signing this, you are solely only allowing the building and the remodel of this mosque.
Third, these muslims arent “expanding”, they are reconstructing a old, smaller place to accommodate the other muslims that live in Lake County area. No muslim ever forces anyone to become muslim, in fact, it is a sin for them to force upon a religion and the duties from it.
And by the way, Rebecca was 3 years old.
Reason
Muslims have a specific day of the week where the men are required to come to the masjid/mosque for prayer. This day would be called “Jummah” aka Friday. They come to worship, pray, and spread love to each other all under 1 building. They also have a period of time where they fast and they all reunite to give eachother food and thanks. After 15 years residing in that tiny house, they deserve the space they need to comfortably accommodate their religion.
Thank you so much for your support, Dont have one, Clermont

The only reason why anyone does NOT want the center to be rebuilt is purely because of Islamophobia. In this country we all have freedom of religion, we should be allowed to believe in what we believe in. Just like many people are Christians and follow the Bible, we should also welcome those who believe in smaller religions that one may not personally align with. Just because we disagree with something doesn’t mean it gives us the right to be hateful, discriminatory, racist, xenophobic, and pushing our community farther apart.

This is supposed to be a free country, where everyone can practice the religion they choose as granted on the first amendment. I do not practice any religion but I believe everyone should be free to worship any god they like.
