I've been following this somewhat closely on the community pages of this Trump-voting, Conservative-flag-toting county, and people are absolutely losing their shit over this. The huge property has been vacant for years, and it's been purchased by an Islamic educational foundation.

Of course, residents insist that they're not objecting for reasons of bigotry; they just don't radical Muslims running a terrorist training camp a few miles down the road.

I asked how they'd feel if some fundamentalist Christian organization had bought the property, and they told me it's apples and orange.


But it's not bigotry, of course.
