MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (AP) -
The trial over the site plan approval for the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro
has been scheduled for next April.
Seventeen plaintiffs are
suing Rutherford County, claiming officials violated Tennessee's open meetings
law.
Plaintiffs' attorney Joe
Brandon Jr. also tried to argue that the mosque violated his clients'
constitutional rights, claiming mosque members were compelled by their religion
to subdue non-Muslims.
Chancellor Robert Corlew
dismissed that claim in May.
Rutherford County attorney
Josh McCreary said that Corlew set an April 25 trial date during a hearing on
Wednesday. Corlew also agreed to allow The Murfreesboro Post to intervene in
the case.
Notice for the meeting
where the site plan was approved was printed in The Post. Plaintiffs argue The
Post is not a newspaper of general circulation, as required by law.
