Muslims complain it is racist to tow their cars for being parked illegally outside Maine mosque

Good Lord these people are so entitled....

A mosque in Maine has suggested it is the victim of a racist campaign after its worshippers' illegally-parked cars were ticketed and towed away.

The Masjidu Salaam Mosque in Lewiston blasted both the town's police department and its neighbor Mid Valley Motors/Leonard Heavy Duty Towing Company over recent incidents during its religious services.

A spokesperson told the Lewiston Sun-Journal: 'The Lewiston Police Department conducted numerous unnecessary and targeted parking enforcement sweeps near the mosque on Friday, ignoring their responsibility to keep the community safe to instead focus on a right-wing grievance.'

But locals and businesses have hit back at the 'right-wing grievance' claim, saying it is unfair for mosque worshippers to clog the parking lots of three local businesses illegally and expect to get away without a ticket.

Mid Valley Motors, a local butcher and a separate Italian bakery have all recently ticketed worshippers' cars for using their lots without buying anything.

Many of the tickets issued were to cars that obstructed or blocked driveways. The mosque is open from before dawn until 11pm every day, with Fridays the busiest day for services.

Matthew Theriault, who is the general manager of Mid Valley Motors and sister business Leonard Heavy Duty Towing, was unrepentant and said: 'If you park illegally, you will be towed.

'We just want to go about running our businesses.

'There’s no racial or religious thing to this — a red Honda Civic is a red Honda Civic.'

Theriault denied deliberately targeting Muslims, saying he had recently towed a US Census Bureau worker for parking illegally.

He has also come under fire after his business started blaring songs out of speakers during Muslim worship.

Among the songs blasted out at high volume were the Star-Spangled Banner, Who Let The Dogs Out, I'm a Little Teapot and What Does the Fox Say?

Last month, the mosque was granted planning permission to double the size of its parking lot.

Responding to complaints about the music on Facebook, Theriault wrote: 'Not sure what kind of world we live in where my daughter dancing in our shop driveway to children’s songs is considered hate. We also played the national anthem at 12 sharp, god bless America and many other songs ours (sic) sons and fathers have died standing for.

'If pride in our country is now considered hate speech i’d suggest you pack your sh*t and get out cause we aren’t goin anywhere.'

There were clips of Muslims I believe in England harassing people eating during Ramadan because they could not.

The Temple has their own paawking lot! Do they really think they can use area businesses lots and not get a ticket?? If it were any other group they too would get their cars towed.

I'm IN! Lewiston, ME is only about an hour and a half from my friend's place on Peaks Island, in Casco Bay. I need another trip to Peaks! I'll bring the Jello (made from gelatin, primary source of gelatin is pig) dessert and the pork rinds!

Normally I am NOT this big of a cunt when it comes to immigrants, this particular group just pisses me all the fuck off with their entitlement and their demands.
