DOJ Files Brief In Favor Of Tenn. Mosque

Well,the teabaggers did tell us he was muslin.

The Department of Justice today filed an amicus brief in a lawsuit in Murfreesboro, Tenn., where opponents of a new mosque are trying to stop its construction. In the brief, the DOJ declares that Islam is a religion and is entitled to freedom of expression.

In a press release, the U.S. attorney for the middle district of Tennessee, Jerry E. Martin, acknowledged that the lawsuit is a "local matter," but that the DOJ wants to "vigorously support" the decision of local authorities to grant the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro building permits.

1. Of course, the wingnuts will ignore that Obama had nothing to do with this...

The DOJ defends federal law. That's one of it's biggest job descriptions.
