Anti-Immigrant Youth Applaud Anti-Muslim Vote

Posted January 20, 2010 by Patrick Young, Esq.

Youth for Western Civilization hailed a Georgia community’s vote to stop the expansion of a mosque. Now there can be a lot of reasons to oppose expansion of a church, mosque, or other house of worship. But the Youth’s website makes it clear that opposition was based on more than parking issues.
Lilburn residents have hit the streets, passing out flyers urging citizens to “Save Lilburn.” Many Residents have voiced their opposition to the mosque. Resident Steve Wilson angrily stated that “I just don’t see what it does for our community; you have opened the floodgates to what could possibly happen to Lilburn.” ...
Despite the intolerant and violent Islamic opposition, the inhabitants of Lilburn have united to defend their way of life, against a force that opposes much of what their community stands for. They should be commended for their strong unity in defense of what threatens their culture and values.
