Last weekend, a homeowner by the name of Michael Heick -- who lives next door to a newly opened mosque -- posted a sign on his front lawn that reads "Bomb Making Next Driveway."
The sign appears in Amherst, New York -- a Buffalo suburb -- on a heavily traveled road.
Heick said he put up the sign because he was frustrated with how mosque and town officials failed to take any action on his complaints that the mosque was built too close to his property and that its bright lights violate the town code.
Is this an appropriate way for Heick to resolve these problems? Of course not.
Instead of trying to insult the Muslims for building a mosque next to his property -- and making a fool of himself in so doing -- Heick needs to meet with the leaders of the mosque, in an effort to iron out the problems he is encountering.
He should also meet with town officials to try to have dimmer lights installed on the mosque property, since he claims the present lights violate the town code.
If he still receives no satisfaction from these meetings, Heick should hire an attorney and take this matter to court.
The court, in effect, will decide on resolving these matters with a just ruling that must be adhered to by both Heick and the leaders of the mosque.
