City leaders in one California town said a parking issue needs to be resolved before prayer sessions can resume, even during Ramadan.
A city in California has told members of a local mosque they must have a permit to continue prayer sessions during Ramadan, their holiest month of the year.
Sima Karimi, one of the mosque members, said they have worshipped in the home for almost two decades, and this was the first time they had heard of any complaints. “Our mosque is closed. We are so upset. We don’t know what we should do. It almost made me cry,” mosque member Zarlasht Ansary said. “Our code enforcement in the city is complaint-based, so we’re not out looking for different things, we’re not out patrolling,” Concepcion said. “We’re not discouraging anything, we’re not stopping anything from happening,”“We are a small community but peaceful and we just want to have a place of worship like everybody else,” Ansary said.
