They’ve come to an agreement to let the Muslims build the mosque and give them $3.25 million in taxpayer money for their trouble to boot.
That worked out well.
Bernards Township will pay $3.25 million to the Islamic Society of Basking Ridge after the town denied the group a permit to build the mosque, the Justice Department announced. The group can now start building the mosque, and the town will be required to train officials on religious land-use laws and amend its zoning restrictions related to houses of worship.
The town’s lawyers might have to go back to Nick & Tony’s School of Law and Trucking for a refresher, as well.
Maybe I should try to build a mosque. So many rubes.
