SAINT ANTHONY, Minn. - The emotions from two days ago are still raw for many in Saint Anthony. The city council rejected a proposal for an Islamic center at the old Medtronic building on Tuesday but the fight isn't over yet.
"We have asked the Department of Justice to get involved and just take a look this issue because we do feel that discrimination may be at play," Lori Saryoa, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said.
Saroya said zoning wasn't a problem in the planning process until recently.
