ABC 7 News - Islamic Saudi School Drops Plan for Campus in Loudoun

ABC 7 News - Islamic Saudi School Drops Plan for Campus in Loudoun: "Islamic Saudi School Drops Plan for Campus in Loudoun "

The proposed building of the Islamic Saudi Academy (ISA) in Loudon County was the source of controvery a few years ago. The dhimmi Loudon County Board of Supervisors voted to approve the school over the objections of county residents. The Washington Post  tried to make opponents look like ignorant and narrow-minded bigots. The controversy was the topic of a treacly cover story on "culture wars" in the Post's Sunday magazine that focused on the marriage of Ashburn residents Samir and Karen Shaban - he, a Muslim; she, Roman Catholic (naturally: Islam forbids a Muslim woman to marry a non-Muslim).

Now, with the controversy long past, ISA quietly decides to sell the property to Loudon County.
