EAST ST. LOUIS --
Several members of Muhammad's Mosque No. 28B protested Saturday outside an East St. Louis liquor store they said is too close to their place of worship."The store next door to us was given a liquor license by the city to open a liquor business," Minister Ralph Muhammad said. "The problem with this is the fact that it is within 100 feet of the mosque. That's a violation of the ordinance. No way can they operate a liquor business that close to a place of worship. "The mosque brothers are giving store owner Saber Barta 30 days before they take legal action, said Clarence Muhammad, captain of the mosque.
The store, Express Market, is located at 2204 State St. and has been open about a year.
"We do expect them in 30 days to seek other means of earning a living in our community or we'll seek legal action," he said. "We're here to make sure our rights are not infringed or stepped on."Barta, 22, said he's been harassed almost daily by the Muslim brothers who attend the mosque, and he wants it to stop."Every since we opened, the Muslim brothers have been coming in here harassing us, threatening to burn down the store," he added. "They came in here today, about 15 of them in suits.
They pushed the customers to the side and blocked all of the entrances.
They were screaming, harassing and threatening us. They said we have to close in 30 days or they will close it themselves or burn it down.
