For the second time in two months, the Obama administration has interjected itself into a dispute over a proposed Islamic center, warning local officials that opposing the mosque could violate the civil rights of its members.

The Justice Department filed court papers Monday in support of construction of a Murfreesboro, Tenn., mosque, saying local Muslims were protected by the 1st Amendment right to free exercise of religion and disputing opponents' claims that Islam is not a valid religion.

Opponents filed suit last month. They charged that county officials did not properly notify the community about the proposal, and argued that Islam is not a valid religion but instead a political cause to force the U.S. to adopt Muslim laws.

really I dont understand how people can be that unflinchingly stupid. it's like they're consistently trying to top stupid

department of justice filed a brief basically saying it's a religion you idiots

But in court filings, the government said: "Every court has treated Islam as a religion for purposes of the 1st Amendment and other federal laws. No court has held otherwise."

Islam, it said, "falls plainly within the understanding of a religion for constitutional and other federal legal purposes."

They're right. Islam is a fake religion and doesn't deserve the protections and tax break that real religions such as Scientology do.
