The Islamic center has owned the land since 2000, but the small Muslim community has needed time to raise enough money to build. Harmoush said it could be years before the entire mosque and community center are completed. The proposal is expected to go before the Temecula Attorney Planning Commission in August, and city officials are reviewing the expected effect of the mosque on neighborhood traffic and noise levels and any other environmental concerns. "We look at land issues, that's it," said Patrick Robinson, director of the city's planning and redevelopment agency. "We don't take into account the denomination of the religion or any of the political issues that surround it." A petition opposing the new mosque is being circulated by a group called Concerned Community Citizens, and other politically active volunteers have started organizing a campaign against the facility. Karen Fesini, who belongs to a Republican women's group in the Temecula Attorney and Murrieta area, said she's been making calls to warn her friends about the project. "They say they're not radicals, but how do we know?"' said Fesini, 68.

Temecula Attorney Teachers Honored By Students

The ruling was appealed to the City Council, and Tuesday nights hearing is expected to be equally contentious. Throughout the process, letters and e-mails have poured into City Hall from both critics and supporters. Our country was built on Freedom of Religion, all religions, not just the one I hold to," Pastor Brian Bell of the Calvary Murrieta church wrote to the Temecula Planning Commission, urging the city to approve the mosque. I believe there has been some in our community who assume all Muslims are extremists ... which is as foolish as all Christians believe in blowing up abortion clinics. Opponents of the mosque were divided among those who contended it would be a magnet for radical Muslims and those who feared that the facility would have a detrimental effect on traffic and the environment. Should Temecula Attorney become a center of even minor terrorist activity it is most unlikely that you and your colleagues will be held blameless when the situation surrounding the new center is so blatantly suspicious," Carlos Martello said in a letter to the citys mayor. The design of the proposed 24,943-square-foot mosque and center reflects a Mediterranean design seen in many Temecula Attorney neighborhoods, though the building will have traditional domes topped with crescent moons. The facility will be built in two stages, with the first limited to a 4,100-square-foot mosque to serve about 150 Muslim families living in Temecula, Murrieta and surrounding communities, Imam Mahmoud Harmoush has said. The Islamic Center, which has existed for years in a warehouse in one of Temeculas industrial areas, bought the property for the proposed mosque 10 years ago and has been raising money to build the facility ever since.

Saturday was the second to last race of the series SoCal Cup points, which has been going since June. It is worth money to the riders. They travel to different races, which helps to accumulate points. After Labor Day they get a check, said Ernie Sanchez, director of the grand prix. The point of having a grand prix was simply for fun. There are people that drove as far as Los Angeles to get a good race in, he said. There were also nearly 1,300 people that came out to check out the races, according to Sanchez. He said that Temecula is becoming a designated spot to cycle.
