Muslim Center Worried about Liquor Sales Next Door

Submitted by Gene Patterson on March 25, 2009 - 7:58pm

A local Knoxville restaurant is hoping to sell beer and liquor at its location next door to the Muslim Community Center.  The restaurant - dubbed The Hill - is a work in progress, including applications for both liquor and beer permits.

If  you thought it was illegal to serve beer within 300 feet of a church or school in Knoxville, you're correct. But there is a loophole in the law.

If you're able to get a state liquor license - it voids Knoville's beer sales restriction.

Ann Keil reported the story today.

If we disallow alcohol within

If we disallow alcohol within 300 feet of a church, we certainly should do the same for a mosque. Not to do so seems grossly unfair.

Just like england and briton we are allowing the united states to become a muslum nation, If we don't stop the influx of these head hunters we will fill the wrath of them later when they start to cut off our grand kids's heads.Wake up America and see what these left wingers are doing to our nation.
