On a Muslim mosque proposed for Morada:

"I doubt that you would want a megachurch of any kind really close. If you look directly across the freeway at the megachurch you can see the traffic that abounds. Now, Pollardville didn't pan out for the developers, so it's up for sale. I'm OK if they want to go in there. It's 11 acres and is already zoned for it." — shrubeater

"A congregation of 300 is hardly a 'megachurch,' and I suspect a good many Christian churches have all the amenities — library, classrooms, multipurpose rooms — that are apparently planned for this mosque." — JD

"Not the right area, not the right culture atmosphere. Good grief — it's a residential area! Give me a break! At least the Christian church down the street has the decency to opt for open spaces with no homes." — Seriously!
