What happens in Lewiston, a quiet city in the state of Maine (United States), is essentially quite simple: badly parked cars, fines and tow trucks. What is no longer so common is the interpretation that has been made of it from the mosque. According to the explanation of the Daily Mail, various Muslim worshippers park their vehicles in an irregular manner.They occupy private parking spaces and block access to nearby businesses. In light of this recurring situation and the complaints from residents and businesses, The local police have stepped up checks with warnings, fines and vehicle towing..
The mosque, however, denounces that these actions are in response to “complaints from the right” and interprets them as a campaign directed against the Muslim community. Specifically, a spokesperson for the mosque stated: «The Lewiston Police Department carried out numerous unnecessary, targeted crackdowns to control parking near the mosque on Friday, ignoring its responsibility to keep the community safe in order to focus on a complaint from the right.».
Local residents and businesses in the area are outraged by the mosque.
The situation has generated growing unease among local residents and traders, who denounce that the problem is neither new nor isolated. Several nearby businesses — including a garage, a butcher's and a bakery — say that On Fridays, their car parks are occupied by vehicles belonging to worshippers who are not customers.. They explain that they hinder normal activity and, in some cases, block access routes and entrances.
One of the business owners says, «We just want to keep running our businesses,» and that he calls the tow truck whoever blocks his parking space. Amid the controversy, the head of the towing service sought to downplay the debate with a phrase that has gone viral: “A red Honda Civic is a red Honda Civic”.
With this in mind, he maintains that there is no ideological or religious criterion behind the clampdowns, but rather a strict application of the rule: if a vehicle is parked improperly, action is taken, whoever the owner is and wherever they come from.
