on Thursday that it is dismissing a lawsuit against Stafford County, Virginia after it repealed ordinances that barred a Muslim cemetery from being built.The announcement marks the end of a year-long religious discrimination lawsuit over a county ordinance that "imposed new requirements, unsupported by any legitimate health or safety concerns" and prevented the All Muslim Association of America from building a cemetery.
"[The Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act] protects people of all faiths in their right to exercise their religion," Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke said in a statement. "The Department of Justice will continue to vigorously enforce RLUIPA — through litigation if necessary — against zoning regulations that unreasonably burden religious exercise."Our goal is to create a safe and engaging place for users to connect over interests and passions.
