Temecula Attorney's city attorney advised them not to comment about the proposed mosque because the Planning Commission's vote on the application for the facility could be appealed to the council. The Rev. Joe Zarro, co-chairman of the Interfaith Council of Temecula and Murrieta Valley, said criticism of the mosque in the community is from a very small but vocal minority. The council, made up of leaders of a variety of faiths in the area, including Harmoush, unanimously endorsed plans for the mosque, Zarro said. "A lot of this has been blown out of proportion," said Zarro, the minister at the United Church of the Valley. "It's important for people to see our neighbors, and for them to be part of our community." The land for the proposed mosque lies west of the Temecula Attorney wine country in a pocket of the city that's become a mish-mash of ranch homes with large grassy spreads and clusters of encroaching red-tile roofs. Along with Calvary Baptist, the mosque will be a short walk from Grace Presbyterian Church. The design of the 24,943-square-foot mosque and center reflect a Mediterranean design seen in many Temecula 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 Attorney, Murrieta and surrounding communities, Harmoush said.

FBI arrests Temecula Attorney man, 19, in 'sextortion' of Miss Teen USA
Jared James Abrahams is accused of cybercrimes for allegedly hacking into victims' accounts, according to charges unsealed Thursday. Laura Eimiller, an FBI spokeswoman, confirmed that Abrahams had been taken into custody. Investigators haveidentified several other victims in the case. Wolf, who was Miss California Teen USA before winning the Miss Teen USA pageant in August at the Atlantis Hotel in the Bahamas, said in media interviews that she received an anonymous email from someone claiming to have nude photos of her taken via the webcam on her computer. Wolf also said the email's author tried to extort her to ensure that the photos were not made public. According to the affidavit, which does not name the victims, the FBI has been investigating Abrahams since March, when authorities learned he allegedly compromised victims computers to obtain nude photographs -- and in some cases, videos --- of the victims by remotely operating the victims web-enabled cameras. He would then allegedly contact the victims using two AOL accounts he had taken over and send the victims nude photos to show what he had obtained. Abrahams, investigators allege, threatened to disclose the images and videos unless they did one of three things: send nude photos, send a nude video, or log onto Skype and did what he said for five minutes.

Temecula Attorney High School Drug Bust Leads To 22 Arrests At 3 Schools
The area is trying to find a balance between its serious vintners seeking industry respect and the financial boon pop-wine-loving revelers bring in. Almond champagne, anyone? August 26, 2011 |By Patrick Comiskey, Special to the Los Angeles Times The tasting room is packed on a recent weekday afternoon at Wilson Creek (Gina Ferazzi / Los Angeles) The most popular beverage in the Temecula Valley, the picturesque wine region not far from the urban sprawl of Orange and San Diego counties, is something called "almond champagne." It is a more or less naturally sparkling wine (the bubbles induced in pressurized tanks) with almond flavoring added. Smelling sweetly of cream soda and marzipan, the wine's thick, cloying flavor wouldn't seem out of place in an ice cream parlor if not for a modest alcohol kick and its bitter finish. At Wilson Creek, the winery, restaurant, wedding and concert venue credited with popularizing the stuff, it sells so well that at least a half-dozen other valley wineries have developed their own versions. But Wilson Creek supplies only a tiny fraction of the fruit used for its cuvee. In fact Wilson Creek doesn't even make the wine; it's made in Lodi, 450 miles away.

Temecula Attorney Valley, winegrowing region or party destination?
Most of the criticism focused on the potential traffic congestion that the mosque may create on neighborhood streets, although city planners said an independent traffic study showed the center would have minimal effects. Other speakers hurled visceral attacks against Islam, warning that the mosque would serve as a strategic foothold for extremists bent on undercutting Americas values and laws. "If you want to come here and not abide by our laws, you can just turn around and find another place to live," said Amy Pina, 42, of Temecula Attorney. Just as many residents, including dozens of Muslims living in the Temecula Attorney Valley, condemned those attacks as bigoted vitriol born of an ignorance of Islamic beliefs. We are not terrorists. We are victims of terrorists we are victims of fear," Suhail Fares told the council. Early in the hearing, City Atty.

Temecula residents square off over proposed mosque
The city's planning commission unanimously approved the project in early December. Rombach appealed that ruling to the City Council, which is expected to vote on the proposed mosque after a public hearing Tuesday night. At the packed hearing, city planners said that the project meets all legal requirements, including environmental reviews, and that the city-commissioned traffic study shows the mosque will not have any detrimental impact on neighborhood streets. Plans by the Islamic Center of Temecula Valley to build a 24,943-square-foot mosque on a vacant 4-acre plot in northeast Temecula Attorney has been attacked by opponents who said the mosque will attract Islamic extremists and overwhelm the neighborhood with congestion. City Atty. Peter Thorson told the City Council that they can only consider land use issues in considering the project. Basing any decision on any religious, political or social factor would be a violation of freedom of religion protected by the 1st Amendment, he said. Hadi Nael, chairman of the Islamic Center of Temecula Attorney Valley, appeared before the council early in the evening to dispel concerns that there may be loud calls to prayer.He said there would be no calls to prayer outside of the mosque.
