Kennesaw City Council Expected to Reverse Mosque Decision

The Kennesaw City Council will vote again Monday night on a proposed mosque to be housed at a strip mall on Jiles Road.  On Dec. 1, the council voted 4-1 against the plan. The Suffah Dawaad congregation had 30 days to file a lawsuit challenging the decision. Their attorney, Doug Dillard, says they plan to sue even if the council reverses itself.

“If they change their vote, anyone who wants to challenge that has 30 days in which to do that,” Dillard says. “So, if somebody challenges what they did, and we haven’t been in court protecting ourselves, then we’re done.”

Dillard says he’s hopeful the two sides can work out an agreement.

“We can always dismiss the lawsuit,” he says.

The council is expected to unanimously approve the plan at Monday’s meeting.
