I glanced casually at the linked article and have a question: On what basis would you deny the Muslims' application?
The City of McKinney established the rules and procedures for such an application. As you guys noted, Collin County (and McKinney) is heavily conservative, so I suppose those were approved by conservative representatives.
The applicants followed those rules to the letter. They didn't ask for any exemptions.
The article gave no indication that the Muslim applicants are troublemakers or anything other than law-abiding citizens. They've been in the area since the 1990s.
So the City Council unanimously approved the application. That is exactly what I expect a conservative to do: Follow the law as established. Or has the definition of "conservative" changed in such a manner that the laws only apply to white people who worship appropriately?
On what basis would you deny the application?
