Residents Outraged Over Plans to Turn a Former Catholic Seminary Into a Muslim School
Quote:Residents of a community on Long Island’s south shore are angry over plans to convert a former Catholic seminary into an all-boys Muslim boarding school, complete with a mosque.

The building is in a residential neighborhood and locals are concerned about traffic and the prospect of a Muslim call to prayer being broadcast five times a day.

A recent town meeting on the subject lasted for five hours as people lined up to voice their concerns.

The New York Post reports:

Fuming Long Island residents are fighting the opening of a Muslim boarding school for boys that’s expected to house 120 teenage students — claiming it will destroy a quiet suburban neighborhood.

A group of Bay Shore homeowners claims the proposal for an overnight dorm is illegal under codes for the suburban Saxon Avenue, on a 13-acre waterfront property that housed a Catholic seminary years ago.

“The proposed use by the new property owner is far more intensive than what is appropriate for a quiet residential neighborhood,” Kevin Colgan, an Islip resident and leader of the anti-boarding school movement in the neighborhood, known as “Saxon Says No,” said in a statement.

“This is about protecting the integrity of our zoning laws — not opposing any individual or organization — zoning laws exist to preserve the character, integrity, and quality of life within our neighborhoods while ensuring that land uses are appropriate for their surroundings,” Colgan said…

The United American Muslim Association, a group partly based out of the Suleymaniye mosque in Dix Hills, scooped up the sprawling property from the Roman Catholic Montfort Missionaries for $5 million.


Libs of TikTok posted a clip from the town meeting. Watch:


Here’s a video report from CBS News in New York:





The town will probably cave on this and approve it anyway. Best of luck to the locals.

The Catholics sold out. Not much you can do about it now.

Christianity continues to die while Islam continues to rise.

Pathetic but expected.
