Ground has been broken in Murfreesboro for the future home of an Islamic Center that has been the target of vandalism and a lawsuit opposing the construction. An estimated 250 to 300 people attended the ceremony Wednesday, according to The Daily News Journal. (http://bit.ly/nlrSXK) The site is for a larger mosque than one located elsewhere in the city. Supporters have said they hope to open the first phase of the mosque a year from now in time for the center’s observances of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
