In 2011, after a Muslim congregation applied to build a mosque in Bridgewater, New Jersey, the town council voted to change its zoning laws in an effort to prevent construction of the mosque. As a result, the group seeking to build the mosque sued and eventually the two sides reached a settlement in which the town agreed to pay out several million dollars in damages and attorney’s fees.
Gordon Kilngenschmitt, for one, is outraged by the decision as he relied on a Pamela Geller column about the case to declare on his “Pray In Jesus Name” program that Muhammad should have been put to death for being a false prophet while fuming that taxpayer funds are now being used to “promote a false religion.”
Klingenschmitt said that he discerned “a spirit of theft” behind the settlement and prayed that town officials “will not be complicit in the forcing of robbery and theft of the American taxpayer to give that money to promote a false religion, a false prophet, a false book, and now people of theft.”
