SUFFA DAWAT SUIT: May 2015

CITY PAYS SUFFA DAWAT $18,000 TO SETTLE MOSQUE CIVIL SUIT

Finally the City has put up the minutes of this meeting and confirms that the storefront Mosque has cost the taxpayers $18K.

If the City had not previously approved a relegious usage for another store front they would have been on firm ground in their denial of the usage to the Mosque as the zoning in that center was incorrect for the usage, BUT, once you allow one group a variance you cant then deny the next group the same usage.

The matter was lost before it began and the City Attorney Mr Bentley, Planning and Zoning Admin Mr Simmons, the mayor and Council should have known this before hand. Very sloppy workmanship on the part of all involved at City. They made the whole City look foolish plus costing us 18K of our tax dollars!

Suffa Dawat Center Issue

Kennesaw Georgia is located about 20 miles NW of Atlanta, in Cobb County. In November 2014 a small group of Muslims wanted a Mosque to be added to a retail strip center. The City said 'No' as the zoning was for general business. Here are...

Kennesaw Suit is Now Dismissed

NOTE: 1) The City Council Sessions of March 2nd and Feb. 16 are now available online, they run 23 and 29 minutes. The only interesting item is that at min. 28 of the 2/16 meeting it seems that the City will be paying the Suffa Dawat Mosque $18,000 in settlement.

The agenda minutes for this date are not published yet. Sounds to me like the City got screwed out of 18K. The suit by them against the City was dismissed, presumably this is their legal costs that we are paying.

While the Suffa Dawat Mosque may end up dismissing the Civil Suit 'if' the City Council action to change their vote on the store front Mosque stands, it is still alive in Federal Court and as of 1/14/15 a 60 day extension for the City to file a reply has been put in place.

The deadline to reply is now March 9, 2015.
