If a warehouse can be a church, why can't a home? A church isn't an ornate building with a steeple. A church is any building used for religious purposes.

First, to call a simple home Bible study a "church" is a HUGE stretch, and one that IMO is completely unjustifiable in court. Second, since when is a violation of zoning laws, legit or not, a jailable offense?!?
You think persecution of the Church isn't happening in the US? Think again....

Wow, safety? That really does defy logic. Something tells me his neighbors complained about vehicles and that they have been warned.Anytime you are holding a gathering of people continuously as he does, we have concerns about people being able to exit the facility properly in case there is a fire, and that's really all this comes down to.

According to the city, his church, the Harvest Christian Fellowship Community Church, received a permit to build a "game room" there in 2008. The permit prohibited using the building as a church, business or assembly. Nevertheless, the city cited Salman for holding worship services there in 2009 and 2010.
According to the city, Salman regularly had gatherings of as many as 80 people, and the noise and traffic from the gatherings prompted regular complaints from neighbors.
In 2010, he was found guilty of 67 Class 1 misdemeanors for code violations, such as not having lighted emergency exits, fire doors or sprinklers, in the "game room." He appealed his conviction, but the court upheld them, and he began his jail term on July 9.
The case has garnered national attention, with supporters of Salman arguing that his civil liberties were violated. A commentary on Fox News has nearly 8,000 Facebook "likes" and almost 800 comments.

No, Fox News and MSNBC are the most vocal. CNN is just clueless.Cluck U wrote:MSNBC and the other Liberal media outlets are just as guilty as Fox. Huffy and everyone else ignored Obama's crap for 6 years...lying and covering up so that the Dems could get, and maintain, their hands on the White House.
Suddenly, Fox News is the outlet with leanings and misinformation? You guys are too funny...and predictable.
