This should be one or two sentences. In February 2017, the Garden State Islamic Center (GSIC) brings an RLUIPA suit against the City of Vineland after the city’s denial of septic permits. The city had approved plans for the mosque in 2012, but when GSIC moved into the second phase of its construction in 2016, the city withheld the necessary permits claiming the project no longer fulfilled sewage regulation requirements. GSIC’s RLUIPA suit alleges decade-long harassment by the city dating back to an earlier lawsuit and settlement over the center’s initial application in 2009. The city files a motion to dismiss the case on the grounds that sewage regulations are not covered by RLUIPA. The District Court of New Jersey denies the motion to dismiss following a Statement of Interest by the DOJ arguing for a broad remedial interpretation of RLUIPA.

The denial comes after close to 40 hearings on the issue over three and one-half years of outspoken public public opposition to the project. ISBR files an RLUIPA complaint against the township. Support comes in the form of an amicus brief by the Becket Fund and a broad interfaith coalition as well as a separate RLUIPA complaint by the DOJ.

This should be one or two sentences. The Township of Wayne in New Jersey delayed a mosque’s building application for three years and eventually sought to seize the purchased property under eminent domain. The mosque sued under RLUIPA and the DOJ filed an amicus brief against the Township of Wayne. A court went on to agree with the DOJ that the use of eminent domain in this specific case violated RLUIPA. The case was settled in 2008. As a result of the settlement, the Muslim community sold the property to the Township in 2009 and subsequently found a new property in nearby Riverdale.

On October 5, 2001, the Albanian Associated Fund (AAF) finalized the purchase of a property along the Hamburg Turnpike in the Township of Wayne (“Wayne”) in northern New Jersey. A year later, the AAF submitted a Land Development Application and a Site Plan for a religious facility. The AAF met with the Township of Wayne Planning Board for the first time on March 24, 2003. The original plans for the development included a 39,392-square-foot recreation center and school as well as a 4,864-square-foot mosque (Ratish, 2004). After the first Planning Board meeting, the Township of Wayne’s planner found that the application met all permitting requirements in October of 2003. Over the next four years, the Planning Board continued to deliberate AAF’s application in more than twenty hearings. After deliberation, the Planning Board would eventually attempt to seize the AAF’s property through the use of eminent domain. This extended span of meetings is very much not the norm and eventually led the AAF to accuse Wayne of possessing a bias against Muslims. Shortly after the initial hearing, in November 2003, the Township of Wayne held a public vote to approve an Open Space Referendum. In January of 2004, the township created the Open Space Committee, which was chaired by the mayor. The goal of this referendum and subsequent committee was to set aside parcels of land for preservation. One such parcel was the land that the AAF had spent years trying to develop. While the AAF’s application was still under discussion by the Planning Board, the Township began eminent domain proceedings to condemn the group’s property for open space preservation. In Planning Board meetings from 2003 to 2006, city officials raised concerns over many different aspects, ranging from traffic and noise to concerns about the water level of the area and the rocky terrain. In an effort to assuage these concerns, civil engineer Arthur Hanson explained stormwater plans at a special Planning Board meeting on February 3, 2005. Residents, however, continued to oppose the project. In a coordinated effort to oppose the mosque project, residents of Wayne formed the “Property Protection Group” (PPG). According to the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty which served as legal counsel for the AAF, the PPG “[had]...attempted to prevent the Muslims from locating in Wayne, complaining about minarets, calls to prayer, and describing the Mosque as ‘a public nuisance’” (Becket). On March 14, 2005, the Planning Board adopted the aforementioned Open Space and Recreation Plan. This plan listed the undeveloped land in Wayne, but “did not prioritize properties for acquisition as required by the Open Space Ordinance” (AAF v. Wayne Complaint). In February of 2006, the township offered the mosque $510,000 in compensation for the property and suggested alternative locations for the project. The AAF refused to sell the property. This led to the township ending the AAF’s application process on March 8th and beginning the condemnation process shortly after. In July, the AAF sued the township for trying to seize the land under eminent domain. As mentioned previously, the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty served as legal counsel to the AAF. In response to the suit and the condemnation process, a federal judge temporarily blocked Wayne from seizing the property. In late January of 2007, the Planning Board officially vetoed the mosque project with a 7-0 vote. On February 23, 2007, it was reported that the AAF would go before a federal court judge with the complaint against the township in April. The township filed a request for summary judgement and claimed that the eminent domain proceedings did not fall under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000 (RLUIPA). On July 24, the DOJ backed the AAF lawsuit and alleged that the property was taken in order to stop the AAF’s project. The DOJ also recommended that the court deny the township’s request for summary judgement. Part of the DOJ’s reasoning included the fact that the property, which was intended to be used for religious purposes, was seized by eminent domain. Thus, the DOJ stated that the AAF’s case did indeed have standing because of the intended religious use of the property. On October 1, 2007, a district court reflected the DOJ’s view when it ruled that RLUIPA can apply to the case and that the case could go to trial. There is no public record of the settlement between the AAF and Wayne, but in December of 2008, the Township approved the sale agreement for the land to be sold. On June 16, 2009, the AAF sold the property for just over $1,000,000. The AAF has since moved to a site located at 90 Riverdale Road in Riverdale, New Jersey. Last Updated Date revised.

This should be one or two sentences. From January 2011, Bridgewater Township (NJ) stopped the Al Falah Center from building its proposed Islamic Center by imposing new zoning laws. The Al Falah Center took the case to the federal district court, where the Judge sided with the religious group. There was still pushback from the town, but a settlement was reached in December 2014. The Al Falah Center could have their Center in a different location but in a different location. The new property was bought by the town in exchange for the original site. The town also paid a total of $7.75 million in damages to the Muslim community.

Narrative Enter the narrative about the case here. Preface In 2011, the Muslim Community in Bridgewater, NJ and the surrounding suburbs wanted to convert an existing, empty building into an Islamic Center with a mosque, daycare, elementary school, and community center, called the Al Falah Center. Even though hearings for the proposed Al Falah Center were already underway, Bridgewater Township changed its zoning laws while the proposal was under review. The new zoning ordinance stipulated that places of worship could only be situated along designated (approved) major roads. The proposed site for the Islamic Center, which was to be in the building previously used for the Redwood Inn, was not on one of these roads (Fleischer 2011, Apr 28). The reasons the town gave for the ordinances were traffic as well as the desire to preserve the “residential character” of the neighborhoods. The town had commissioned several professional reports: a traffic report, environmental report, and a noise issue report. All reports found no problem with the proposed location for the Al Falah Center (Levine 2011, Jan 21). The Timeline The first meeting of the Planning Board to review the proposal for the Islamic Center was scheduled to be held on January 24th, 2011. The meeting, however, was postponed until February 28th following vocal protests by residents. On February 28th, although a meeting was held, the final vote to approve the Center was postponed to March 28th. The reason given for delaying the procedures was that a ‘larger venue was needed’ to accommodate attendance at the hearings (“Islamic group sues…” 2011, Apr 28). On March 14th, the town changed its zoning ordinance limiting houses of worship to specific main roads. The new ordinance allowed the town to reject Al Falah’s proposal (Fleischer 2011, Apr 28). Al Falah objected to the process of delaying the approval process until after the town had changed its zoning regulations so that the town would no longer have to evaluate the Center’s application based on zoning laws in place at the time of the original application, which would have significantly increased the Center’s chances of approval. On April 26th, the Al Falah Center filed a lawsuit in federal district court in NJ against the town, which is now case No. 11-2397 (Al Falah Center vs. Twp of Bridgewater, 2014). Outcome The case by the Al Falah Center was built on the premise that in unnaturally accelerating the process of changing zoning ordinances, Bridgewater Township unfairly treated religious institutions as “less than equal” to nonreligious ones (Deak 2015, Aug 13). The federal court, led by Judge Shipp, sided with the Al Falah Center; the judge ruled that the Planning Board had to re-hear the mosque application without applying the new ordinance. The lawsuit was completed in September 2013. Negotiations, however, continued until December 2014. The township was still pushing back after Judge Shipp’s decision and filed a case to the U.S. Court of Appeals, which was stopped by an oppositional motion by the Al Falah Center and Judge Shipp’s denial of the town’s appeal (“Al Falah Center v. Township” 2015, Jan 28). Al Falah’s case was built on the ordinance being passed very fast, rather than the ordinance itself (Deak 2014, Dec 2). The Township maintained that the Al Falah Center could not be built on Mountaintop Road, and bought a $2.75 million dollar property to accommodate them elsewhere. In the final settlement from December 2014, the Township had to pay the Al Falah Center $5 million for damages incurred. Today, the Al Falah Center is up and running. Its official address is in Bedminster, which is a neighboring town of Bridgewater, also in Somerset County. While fundraising for the Islamic Center on the new property continues, the community is running its various programs such as daily prayers, the Friday congregational prayer, and educational activities out of different locations in the area: The Friday congregational prayer takes place in the banquet hall of a Ukrainian Catholic Church in neighboring Hillsborough Township (“Friday [Jummah] Prayer” 2018, May 17). Implications Judge Shipp emphasized that the Muslim community of Somerset County had been deprived of a house of worship for many years (Louis C. Hochman, B. 2014, Dec 7) and that the untimely and rushed passing of the zoning ordinance was unlawful. The strong support from a federal court helped increase the Muslim community’s visibility within the American framework. The damages paid by Bridgewater Township also helped jumpstart Al Falah’s operations on the Islamic Center. This case is often held up as an example of a lawsuit gone well for Muslims and inspires other groups in their own conflicts (Associated Press Newswires. 2017, May 24) with local government institutions to pursue their claims in the court system (“House Homeland Security” 2012, Jun 20).
