Militia plans armed protest in Newton over mosque
2:31 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 13, 2016 | Filed in: AJC Local News
A local militia is planning an armed protest Tuesday evening at the historic Newton County courthouse after local law enforcement launched an investigation into the group.
The protest is scheduled to take place at the same time as a planned Board of Commissioners meeting that was cancelled due to security concerns. Commissioners were expected to lift a temporary moratorium on new places of worship at that meeting, paving the way for a proposed Muslim burial ground and mosque, which the militia opposes.
The investigation was opened after several members of Georgia Security Force III% made a video of themselves over the weekend protesting the presence of Muslims in the county and allegedly trespassing on the site of the proposed cemetery and mosque.

The protest has been called for by Henry County resident Chris Hill, who appears in the video calling himself “Blood Agent.”
The video has since been taken down.
In a statement released Tuesday afternoon, Newton County Manager Lloyd Kerr wrote that the county government has faith in law enforcement’s ability to protect citizens and peaceful protesters.
“In this case, a self-made video circulated on social media of a militia group [from] a neighboring county, [which] may have been trespassing on private property, and exhibiting harassing or violent behavior,” Kerr wrote. “Unfortunately in today’s society, uncivil threats or intentions must be taken seriously.”

In this case, a self-made video circulated on social media of a militia group from a neighboring county, may have been trespassing on private property, and exhibiting harassing or violent behavior. Unfortunately in today’s society, uncivil threats or intentions must be taken seriously. The owner of the video, Chris Hill, has since taken the video down due to ‘perception.’
The Newton County Board of Commissioners priority is to ensure the safety of all its citizens and guests, and to conduct county business in a peaceful and lawful manner with respect to all county, state and federal laws.
The resolution creating the limited moratorium and approved by commissioners on August 16, 2016 will expire on September 21, 2016. The Board of Commissioners intends to honor the expiration date and has no plans to extend the moratorium.

Meeting on proposed Newton mosque canceled due to security concerns
Updated: 8:01 p.m. Monday, Sept. 12, 2016 | Posted: 6:57 p.m. Monday, Sept. 12, 2016
Citing concerns about crowd control and hostile social media posts, Newton County commissioners canceled a Tuesday meeting where they planned to address a Muslim congregation’s proposal to build a burial ground and mosque.
“This decision was not taken without careful deliberation and consideration of concerns regarding crowd control and law enforcement regarding social media postings evidencing hostilities in the community,” read a statement posted to the county’s website Monday afternoon.
Although the commission didn’t say which social media post it viewed as hostile, a spokesperson for the Newton County Sheriff’s Department confirmed it was investigating whether a local militia’s opposition to the mosque and burial ground constitutes a threat.
On Sunday, the 111% Security Force* held a protest on the grounds of County Line Baptist Church on Ga. 162, across the street from the 135-acre parcel purchased last year by a Muslim congregation from Doraville.
In a video of the protest posted online over the weekend, Henry County resident Chris Hill said the site was a proposed ISIS training camp and claimed Muslims are followers of the Antichrist. Another man hangs an American Flag from a tree on what appears to be property belonging to the Muslim congregation. The video has since been taken down.
Hill said he stood by his comments but took down the video because of “perception.”
“Hanging a flag on private property, the optics of that look bad, so we pulled it,” Hill said. “It was a little sensationalism. … I still have fundamental differences with Islam.”
Sheriff Ezell Brown decided to open an investigation after viewing the group’s video.
Hill, speaking before the county made its announcement, said his group planned a peaceful, armed protest at the historic county courthouse where the meeting was to take place. Reacting to news of the cancellation, he said he would hold the same protest at the next meeting.
The congregation of Masjid At Taqwa, represented by Al Maad Al Islami non-profit, bought the tract with the intention of building a cemetery, burial preparation facility and mosque. Al Maad Al Islami was issued a county permit in its name for a place of worship in June 2015 when it purchased the land.
But last month, the county commission issued a moratorium on new places of worship in response to local opposition to the project. The commission was expected to lift that moratorium Tuesday after more than a dozen groups complained to the Department of Justice.
The congregation’s imam, Mohammad Islam, said he has not reached out to law enforcement about the video or other threats he has received. He said he would prefer to meet with opponents face to face and lead by example.
“Whatever they want to say, I am ready to hear anything,” he said. “If they tell me ‘You’re a killer, you’re a terrorist,’ whatever, I will keep quiet and I want to listen. … This is the way that I teach my people: Be patient.”
As Hill and a small handful of mosque opponents were holding their protest Sunday, some 40 members of Masjid At Taqwa were mingling with area residents at the Epiphany Lutheran Church in nearby Conyers at the invitation of Pastor David Armstrong-Reiner.
Armstrong-Reiner called any invocation of the Antichrist in reference to Islam, “a complete misreading of scripture.”
“Anything which goes against love of neighbor, to me, is that which goes against Christ,” he said.
Armstrong-Reiner said he wanted to give members of his church a chance to interact with and ask questions of their new Muslim neighbors. He said several members of his Lutheran congregation, including one man who lost a relative in the attacks on the World Trade Center, were reassured by the meeting.
“There was a bridge that was built, and I’m hoping it’s not the last bridge,” Armstrong-Reiner said.

Public Meeting on Georgia Mosque Canceled Over Safety Fears
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COVINGTON, Ga. — Sep 13, 2016, 8:39 AM ET
Officials in a Georgia county say they've canceled a meeting involving a mosque planned for the area due to security concerns.
Earlier, some Newton County officials had said they planned to vote Tuesday to lift a ban on building permits for places of worship. The ban was prompted by opposition to a planned mosque and cemetery on 135 acres in the county, about 40 miles (64 kilometers) southeast of Atlanta.
Newton County Commission Chairman Keith Ellis said the meeting was called off because of concerns about crowd control and hostile social media posts.
There was no immediate word on whether Tuesday's meeting will be rescheduled.
The Covington News reports (http://bit.ly/2cUhWZ0) that unless another special meeting in scheduled, the commission's next chance to vote on ending the moratorium for places of worship will be Sept. 20.

Newton County mosque meeting cancelled after social media posts
Mosque meeting canceled over safety concerns
WXIA 10:21 PM. EDT September 12, 2016
NEWTON COUNTY, Ga. - A meeting where it was expected that Newton County Commissioners would lift a moratorium blocking plans to build an Islamic mosque has been cancelled over safety concerns.
In a statement posted on Newton County's website Monday, commissioners said the decision was made to cancel the meeting after "careful deliberation and consideration of concerns regarding crowd control and law enforcement regarding social media postings evidencing hostilities in the community. "
Members of the Newton County community have been divided over a proposal centering around an Islamic cemetery and possible mosque. It would sit on 135 acres of land on Highway 162 and County Road Line.
Last month, commissioners put a five-week hold on issuing any permits that would allow builders to break ground on the mosque and cemetery. Commissioners also decided to re-evaluate county zoning laws that previously allowed for houses of worship to be built anywhere, regardless of what land was zoned for.
Documents obtained by 11Alive's Chris Hopper showed that Newton County Commissioner John Douglas, who represents the district where the project could be built, believed the Islamic group behind the project tried to mislead the public.
On the initial application for permits, the cemetery and mosque was called “Avery Community Church.” But in email, Douglas wrote that he was looking for ways to “impact” the project. (See more on those emails)
After a heated public hearing, the county commissioner's office and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) released a statement announcing their intent to lift the moratorium.
That action was expected to be taken at Tuesday's special meeting.
In a statement released late Monday, CAIR said that anti-Muslim extremists had threatened an "armed protest" outside of the meeting.
"We strongly condemn the anti-Muslim extremists who have slandered, harassed and threatened Newton County's commissioners over the past week," said CAIR-GA Executive Director Edward Ahmed Mitchell in the news release. "These cowardly bigots do not represent the people of Newton County, who are as warm and welcoming as other Georgians."
The statement from Newton County Commissioners Office announcing the cancelation read in full:
"Due to the Chairman and the Newton County Board of Commissioners’ unwavering desire to ensure the orderly and safe assembly of citizens, the decision has been made to cancel tomorrow night’s special called meeting. This decision was not taken without careful deliberation and consideration of concerns regarding crowd control and law enforcement regarding social media postings evidencing hostilities in the community. Newton County will continue in its efforts to encourage citizen participation in government and honoring the County’s intention to work with all members of the community. "
It's not yet clear if or when the meeting would be rescheduled. The next regular commissioners meeting is set for Sept. 20. The five-week moratorium would expire on Sept. 21.
"The county has assured us that the moratorium will, at the very least, expire naturally on Sep. 21st, allowing Newton Muslims to build a house of worship and cemetery like any other faith group," Mitchell said.
--------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE: Meeting to lift moratorium cancelled due to safety concerns
According to Chairman Keith Ellis, the meeting, set for 6 p.m. at the Historic Courthouse, was cancelled after social media postings over the weekend led to concerns about public safety and crowd control.
“This decision was not taken without careful deliberation and consideration of concerns regarding crowd control and law enforcement regarding social media postings evidencing hostilities in the community,” Ellis wrote.
According to reports, a militia group’s postings on social media indicated there might be some type of protest in downtown Covington prior to Tuesday night’s meeting.
Tuesday night’s meeting was called in late August in order to lift a moratorium on houses of worship that was enacted at the Aug. 15 commission meeting. The moratorium, which was supported by all five commissioners, came in response to a plan to develop a mosque and related facilities on 135 acres on Ga. Highway 162.
Unless commissioners call another meeting, the moratorium will expire on Sept. 21 without any further action by commissioners. The next regular meeting of the Board of Commissioners is scheduled for Sept. 20.
Emotions have run high in Newton County since citizens learned in early August that the Masjid-At-Taqwa mosque in Doraville had purchased the tract of land on Ga. Highway 162 to develop a mosque, burial facility and cemetery initially and possibly a school and residential neighborhood at a later time. Houses of worship are allowed in all zoning districts in the county, and commissioners enacted the moratorium in order to give the county’s Development Services Department time to review zoning provisions and the current trends for places of worship.
Commissioners subsequently held two back-to-back town hall meetings on Aug. 22 to allow residents an opportunity to voice their opinions on the proposed development. Hundreds turned out, many speaking emotionally and vehemently against the project.
The moratorium and town hall meetings drew negative media attention, which prompted the mayors of the county’s five municipalities to call on commissioners to lift the moratorium, saying that the board’s actions related to the mosque were an embarrassment to the community.
Several members of the Board of Commissioners later met in groups of two with mosque Imam Mohammed Islam and other representatives of the mosque. Those meetings led to a joint press release from the county and the Council on American-Islamic Relations indicating that the Board of Commissioners would lift the moratorium at a special called meeting on Sept. 13.
Other efforts have been underway to help mend fences between the community and the mosque. Several representatives from the religious community and others had lunch with a contingent of representatives from Masjid-At-Taqwa at Oxford College on Sept. 7. According to a release issued after the luncheon, more than 40 people attended the event in the Oxford College dining hall hosted by Oxford Chaplain Lyn Pace and arranged through the efforts of local pastors and citizens seeking to repay hospitality provided to local residents during an Aug. 23 visit to Masjid At-Taqwa.
According to the release, during the meeting last Wednesday, attendees enjoyed informal conversation over lunch, followed by a question and answer session touching on common roots between Christian and Islamic faiths, progress made easing tensions within the community, and next steps for building bridges between the mosque and Newton County residents.

Meeting about proposed mosque canceled by Newton County
NEWTON COUNTY, Ga. - Newton County canceled an upcoming meeting discussing a proposed mosque and cemetery after “social media postings evidencing hostilities in the community.”
A statement released Monday afternoon by the board reads:
“Due to the Chairman and the Newton County Board of Commissioners’ unwavering desire to ensure the orderly and safe assembly of citizens, the decision has been made to cancel the Sept. 13 work session and special called meeting. This decision was not taken without careful deliberation and consideration of concerns regarding crowd control and law enforcement regarding social media postings evidencing hostilities in the community. Newton County will continue in its efforts to encourage citizen participation in government and honoring the County’s intention to work with all members of the community.
County officials previously said they would lift a ban on building permits for religious institutions that had been sparked by local opposition to a mosque and Muslim cemetery.
Previous meetings on topic overflowed from the historic Newton County Courthouse, wrapping around onto the street.
The county would not comment on what specifically prompted the cancelation of Tuesday's meeting.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are an estimated 70 mosques across Georgia as the number of Muslims is growing in the state. Above is the Quran, the Muslim holy book.

For the 2 Covington Zip Codes (30014 & 30016) consisting of 32,436 households, only about 1 in 15 read the Sunday AJC, abut half that weekdays. Coverage of the Mosque issue is not that comprehensive with the AJC although the over air media seems to find it of interest.
============================================
Last August, 2015, the 2 Newton County parcels, (#0050000000001000 and #0050000000001B00) were purchased by the Al Maad Al Islami Mosque from the Neeley Farms Family Limited Partnership for $675,900.
Between Jan 1st and April 1st of 2016 there was no application for any religious exemption for real or property taxes. the last date to file a written appeal was 5/27/2016 and none was filed.
GA Code 48-5-41 provides for a Property Tax Exemption for "Places of Religious Worship", but 'Mere latent ownership of a property by a nonprofit organization will not qualify the property for exemption'.
Whether any such applications would be filed or might apply, for 2017, remains to be seen.
For the moment, taxes in the amounts of $2,888.10 for the 63.75 acres and $3,250.64 for the 71.74 will be due in installment payments one half of the amount is due October 20, 2016 and the final amount due will be December 20, 2016.
Prior Property Tax for the referenced 2 Newton County parcels, when owned by the Neely Family, were $449.07 and $461.44, this under an agricultural exemption.
When sold to the Mosque there was additional taxes levied for a ‘Breach of Covenant’, said taxes taken out at time of sale in 2015.
The net gain to the County is an increase of $5,222.23 in Property Tax, above that paid by the Neely family.
Note: The Doraville Mosque itself, at 2674 Woodwin Road pays only a $48 Stormwater Fee to DeKalb County, but no other Property Tax since 2010 when they paid $2,281.78, after that only the $48 yearly on the $135,900 value of the building (built 1947) and land.

EMAILS: Newton County Commissioner Wanted to Impact Mosque Cemetery Project
COVINGTON, Ga. -- In a story only on 11Alive, emails obtained through an open records request are giving an inside look at a controversy playing out in Newton County.
A series of emails sent and received between Aug. 1 and Aug. 22 center around controversial plans to build an Islamic mosque and cemetery in the county.
Most of them are to and from Newton County Commissioner John Douglas, who represents the district where the project could be built.
The emails, obtained by 11Alive's Chris Hopper show Douglas had a desire to change the direction of the project, which has become the target of concerned Newton County citizens.
Last month, Douglas proposed a five-week moratorium that put the project on hold. Now, electronic conversations between him and concerned residents show he believes the Islamic group behind the project tried to mislead the public.
On the initial application for permits, the cemetery and mosque was called “Avery Community Church.” But in email, Douglas wrote that he was looking for ways to “impact” the project.
In one email to a local pastor Douglas said, “at this point, it looks like it was done in secret to prevent the citizens and me from being able to impact it while it could be impacted.”
He went on to write, “a show of local residents would be helpful to back up our displeasure and desire to change the direction of this project.”
Newton County gave it the initial approval last year, and it technically doesn’t and shouldn’t matter what it’s called, as all places of worship are basically free to build anywhere in the county.
Several community groups expressed their disapproval with the county’s response shortly after commissioners passed the moratorium. But when presented with a series of articles about religious freedom lawsuits, Douglas responded via email, “we are not fighting religion at all. We are trying to hold back on congestion, maintain our rural way of life and ensure the people who move here can keep the family atmosphere, low crime rate, and quiet neighborhoods they were seeking. Everyone is welcome who believes in those principles.”
At its next meeting on Sep. 13, the Newton County Commission is expected to lift the moratorium, which effectively blocked the project, early.
There is no word yet on how Commissioner Douglas feels about that decision. 11Alive News contacted him for comment, but didn’t Douglas did not respond before the publishing of this story.

Buying Cemetery Lots Earns Insha-Allah Incredible Sadaqatul Jariah
By buying cemetery lots, you are helping pay for the 135 Acres. These 135 Acres are approved to have Cemetery, Burial Preparation Facility, Masjid, Schools and University with their own athletic fields and sports area, Public Park, and lot more. All the good Insha-Allah that will emanate from this place, for generations to come, with our Rabb’s Mercy will be your Sadaqatul Jariah.
Expedites Burial, a Key Sunnah
The deceased body is taken by Muslim workers of Body Preparation Facility with respect and honor straight to the facility, right next to Masjid and Burial Grounds. Tremendous amount of time is saved by not having to drive the body from funeral home to Masjid and then from Masjid to Burial Grounds.
Preserves Modesty (Awra) of The Deceased
One of the important requirements of our Deen is the awra which for the male is covering from navel to knee at all times in front of the same sex. Though the funeral homes keep the body covered in front of us due to our faith, there is no guarantee they do the same in our absence. This Muslim facility not only ensures awra but can also prevent a person of opposite sex from seeing or touching the deceased.
Protects The Body From Potential Physical Abuse
Since we maintain modesty by not seeing from navel to knee, there is no certainty in the funeral homes, the part of the body behind the cloth covering is not abused, mutilated or cut open to take organs.
Lowers Total Burial Cost
Since funeral home, Masjid and Burial Grounds are located at the same place, there will be no need to hire police escorts and body carrying vehicle with workers. This should result in a saving of at least $1,000 per burial.
Positive, Clean Islamic Environment For Funeral Attendees
Clean lively Masjid next door imparts comforting, conducive Islamic worship spiritual environment for the community members partaking in the funeral.
Contiguous Cemetery Lots Reserved For Family For Generations to Use Buying contiguous cemetery lots is an option for the use of an extended family for years to come. Living family members and future generations will not have to search for the buried deceased family members as they all could potentially be buried next to each other.
More Duas For Parted Souls Buried
The attaqwa community will Insh-Allah be formed on this 135 acre land with the future development of residences, schools & other public facilities. On seeing the graves, the hearts of this community will often be inclined to make supplications for those buried.
Donate for this great cause towards Allah Our beloved Prophet Mohammed صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “When a man dies,
nothing lives on after him, except for three things: sadaqah jariyah (continuing charity), knowledge which can benefit others, or virtuous offspring who will pray for him.”
Amount and Mode of Payment
The Amount to be paid is $600/Lot. Cash and Checks are accepted, make check payable to Masjid Attaqwa or online transfer to:

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I move from Georgia and I do not need the cemetery lot?
The investment you make is liquid or Cashable. You can return the title to the Burial Administration and get your money back. You can also use the lot for any of your family, friend or donate it to a needy person.
Is it alright in our Deen to buy cemetery lot in advance?
By Allah’s Mercy it is allowed. But only Allah decides where we are destined to be buried. Our answer is in the example of our mother Aisha Radhia Allahu Taala Anha. She had her grave reserved next to the graves of Prophet Mohammed صلى الله عليه وسلم and her father Abu
Bakr Siddiq Radhi Allahu Taala Anhu. When Umar ibn Al-Khattab Radhia Allahu Taala Anhu, requested that spot for him after he was fatally injured, she gave permission relinquishing the burial space she had reserved for herself.
Where is it Located?
Off I-20 exit #84 Salem Road (Hwy – 162) situated in Covington, Newton County, at the border of Rockdale County.
This is quite sad seeing people not respecting others religion, this is not a good thing by the way. Hope people learn this thing real soon.
