Yours,
Issodhos

it is not my conflation, nor the articles. however it is the current narrative of some of the demagogues.

and the "just" is part of the questons which you seem to not wan to address,

all the rest is politics? To me it seems that the implication is that it is "just" politics and therefore of little consequence and relevance.

perhaps I took you up wrong, but the narrow focus throughout this thread on the property element would suggest otherwise.

If I had meant to trivialize the impact of politics, I would have written "just", however, I did not wish to do so, so I did not use the word "just", Schlack. Words do have meaning.:-)
Yours,
Issodhos

When pastor Steve Stone initially heard of the mosque and Islamic center being erected on the sprawling land adjacent his church, his stomach tightened.

Then he raised a 6-foot sign reading, "Welcome to the Neighborhood."


The issue for Stone and the 550-person Heartsong Church in Cordova, came down to one question:

"What would Jesus do if He were us? He would welcome the neighbor," Stone said.

The Memphis Islamic Center, a nonprofit organization formed three years ago, is two weeks from breaking ground on the first phase of a multimillion-dollar complex.

While plans for Islamic centers across the country and just miles away have triggered vitriolic responses and divided communities, here in Memphis it's been a peaceful process.

On a 31-acre stretch at Humphrey Road and Houston Levee, Memphis Islamic Center leaders plan to build a massive gathering place during the next several years. It will include a mosque, youth center, day care center, indoor gym, sports fields, medical clinic and retirement home.

While the 4,000-square-foot worship hall is being completed, Heartsong has opened its doors to its neighbors throughout the monthlong observance of Ramadan.
