NJ Town Sued After 4-Year Campaign to Prevent Mosque From Being Built
Just another reminder that Islamophobia is endemic to the GOP, not to individual candidates. All of the leading GOP candidates cultivate and pander to followers who propagate hate.
Local resident Lori Caratzola was not named as a defendant in the lawsuit, but she is frequently cited as one of the most strident opponents of the mosque’s construction. Caratzola is quoted in the suit as telling the board that “100 billion animals are sacrificed in the name of Islam in the United States every year.”
Caratzola appears to be the chair of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)’s Second Amendment Coalition for the state of New Jersey, as well as the New Jersey community leader for American Laws for American Courts at the American Public Policy Alliance. The group focuses on preventing Sharia law from being implemented in the United States.
Caratzola’s Facebook profile is private, but her background photo shows a Gadsden flag waving against a blue sky.
