Muslims Allowed to Worship at Embattled Tennessee Mosque 
---------------------------------------------------------


 
A federal judge has sided with efforts by Muslims in Tennessee to begin
worshipping at an Islamic center and mosque in Murfreesboro, 35 miles
outside of Nashville. The Islamic Center of Murfreesboro has come under
repeated attacks including arson and vandalism and was denied a critical
building permit in June. But on Wednesday, Judge Todd Campbell of
Federal District Court in Nashville issued an order granting worshippers
access to the mosque in time for Ramadan, which begins on Thursday.
