  Then you missed this.

  The mosques and the skyscraper will remain open while the forfeiture case works its way through court in what could be a long process. What will happen to them if the government ultimately prevails is unclear. But the government typically sells properties it has seized through forfeiture, and the proceeds are sometimes distributed to crime victims.

  "No action has been taken against any tenants or occupants of those properties," U.S. attorney's office spokeswoman Yusill Scribner said. "The tenants and occupants remain free to use the properties as they have before today's filing. There are no allegations of any wrongdoing on the part of any of these tenants or occupants."

  I also have a bad feeling about this. But rather than freaking out like I usually would, I question something.

  The article it says it still remains open and used as houses of worship, the government just owns it and can investigate...so what's the problem?

  http://www.courierpress.com/news/2009/nov/11/no-headline---112/.

  it's a "letter to the editor," so i don't know whether to take it seriously or not.. but even if it's not by the governments or starts anything.

  the fact of this letter, people are starting to wake up to religions influence?
