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.

Our constitution literally allows us to have freedom of the religion. As well as we are supposed to be separating church and state. All the people trying to stop this are just Islamophobic, religion is not evil the people who use it as an excuse are. There's been plenty of case where people have been murdered because Jesus, God, or an Angel told them to do it. Nobody's seem to bat an eye at those though. This is coming from someone raised in the Catholic Church. People should be able to worship what they believe in with out fear, that is quite literally what the pioneers fleed England for.
