MURFREESBORO — A judge has ruled that
construction of a new mosque in Rutherford
County does not harm the residents who
sued the county to stop it.

The judge did allow plaintiffs to pursue
claims the county violated an open
meetings law in approving the site plan for
the mosque.

Plaintiffs’ attorney Joe Brandon Jr. had
argued that the mosque violated his clients’
constitutional rights, claiming that the
Islamic Center of Murfreesboro’s members
were compelled by their religion to subdue
non-Muslims.

In a ruling issued Tuesday, Chancellor
Robert Corlew dismissed most of the
complaints raised by the 17 plaintiffs,
except for claims that the county violated
the state Open Meetings Act by not
providing proper notice for the meeting at
which the mosque site plan was approved.
