New parking signs posted outside a Spring Branch mosque sparked outrage on Thursday.
The posters lined the street near the El Farouq Mosque on Sauer Conrad Drive at Westview.
In black letters, the signs read, "No Muslim parking in the Westview Shopping Center. Your car will be towed."
Many Muslims heading to worship services were offended.
"I feel sorry for the person who wrote it," said Ahmed Hassan. "This is what comes to mind because obviously he has a lot of hate."
"I'm very shocked because we do live in a society that's supposed to be very accepting and this is what we all preach," said Yara Aboshady. "That we all have the freedom of religion."
The mosque sits across the street from the shopping center. Store employees did not want to go on camera, but admit they get angry when mosque members park in their lot, taking up spots meant for customers.
WE DO HAVE FREEDOM TO PRACTICE ANY RELIGION BUT THE OWNER OF SHOPPING CENTER HAS THE RIGHT TO PROTECT HIS PROPERTY AND MAKE SURE HIS TENANTS ARE NOT LOSING BUSINESS BECAUSE MUSLIMS WANT TO PRACTICE ISLAM AND PARK ILLEGALLY.READ MORE
