WZTV FOX 17 - Top Stories
The Islamic Center of Murfreesboro won an important legal battle this week, but it could be another 2 weeks before members can use their mosque. Rutherford County inspectors took a look at the facility this morning. Its contractor tells FOX17 NEWS the mosque is at least 2 weeks away from being ready to apply for an occupancy permit. The building still needs a number of inspections, including electric and water service. Imam Ossama Bahloul says he's still hopeful that timeline can be reduced.
"This is their job and you must express appreciation to them, they want it to be secure and we love this for everyone as well," says Bahloul. "I don't think anything unusual, do we think we have 2 weeks to go, we think less than this."
The congregation hopes to be in the controversial facility during the holy month of Ramadan, which begins tomorrow. Members are observing the holiday with prayers tonight.
