NOI Community in AR.
Let us remember this cult has very little to do with real "Islam."
Little Rock Officials Approve Zoning for Islamic Community
Fox 16 (Little Rock), Oct. 6
The Little Rock City Board of Directors approved plans to set aside land for an Islamic community. This despite strong opposition from residents who believe this type of community promotes segregation. Although members of the Islamic community got approval for their plans from the City Board of Directors they still did not win over some residents.
Members of the Islamic Center, a branch of the Nation of Islam got a chance to present their case for building an Islamic community to the city Board of Directors earlier Tuesday night. The group wants to build a community that contains a mosque, a school and 22 homes. However residents in the area along 40th and Potter voiced concerns over this being a segregated community.
Islamic Community Center members say their community is open to anyone, not just those who share their faith. They say they not only welcome other faiths they encourage it.
After hearing the Islamic Centerââ¬â¢s proposal and concerns of citizens, the board voted to approve rezoning of the land allowing the center to be built. That did not satisfy some residents, who believe you canââ¬â¢t count on the plans for the center to stay the same.
While the Islamic members say they hope to gain the support of the community and their project will go on as scheduled. They plan to start building in January.

And why is there a large enough 'Islamic community' in Little Rock, Arkansas (of all places!) to warrant an Islamic Community Center?

And what's wrong with "islamic Community Center"? that's better than the "Jewish community Center" as far as I am concern, besides if it was called the "Jewish Community Center" it would be bombed if it were to open to everyone here in the US.
Most Jewish Center and churches here in the US have guards at the entrances, I should know because I have seen them.

I don't think things are quite so desperate. All sorts of people swim at the Jewish C.C. in the city I live in. No bombs.

Because there are a lot of brothers out there. Not to worry, this location is in a really bad part of Little Rock. Good place for it.
