Muslim Mosques and Schools in Maryland's Howard County and in USA Similar to Cowbird Eggs?

Muslim development plans meet resistance in rural Maryland

By Meredith Somers- The Washington Times

A Muslim group’s effort to move its campus from College Park to Maryland’s rural Howard County is being met with opposition from local residents, who say dense construction plans for the site would spoil the quiet character of the area.

Although both sides insist that the debate turns solely on setting zoning precedent, it marks the latest in a series of disputes across the country in which locals have resisted the introduction of Islamic centers to their communities.

The Maryland debate began last summer, when the Dar-us-Salaam community proposed replacing its overcrowded facility. The center would be built on about 66 acres of land once home to a Catholic school 45 miles north of the District. Bordered by thoroughbred horse farms, the property is about a 15-minute drive to the nearest Starbucks, Wal-Mart or McDonald's.

Islamic center planners initially talked about sweeping renovations to the former Catholic school, with a massive five-sided mosque and cultural center. Early reports indicated plans to construct underground parking and build dormitories to accommodate 5,000 worshippers, though the community’s representatives have dismissed those suggestions. ...

     Our free institutions and our deep traditional respect for the protections of various individual rights is really not set up for this. It is somewhat similar to when cowbirds, using an adaptation that allowed them to follow buffalo herds, swoop down and deposits their eggs in songbird nests, after which the hapless pairs of mom and dad songbirds dutifully feed the larger, more hungry and aggressive cowbirds, whereupon the smaller weaker songbird chicks are pushed aside and slowly starve to death.
