Discriminatory Zoning Decisions: Islamic Mosques

I saw this interesting post a few days ago discussing this issue of discriminatory zoning decisions, which comes up from time to time and over the last few years has been especially troublesome in the context of Islamic Mosques. We have certainly had a very significant case here in Tennessee, but the same concerns and issues have come up all over the country. I have commented on these issues on several posts in this blog. Unfortunately, the issues seem to veer away from the relevant land use planning and zoning principles into concerns with which have no place in administrative proceedings.
