City officials ignore the massive number who Muslims who frequently spread out their prayer mats and lift their asses to Allah right in the middle of the streets in heavily populated areas, which can only be described as a takeover of downtown Los Angeles.
On the other hand, a California Rabbi says the city of Irvine has unlawfully fined him for months for hosting private prayer meetings for invited guests in his home. First Liberty Institute sent a demand letter to the city of Irvine on June 12 demanding the city immediately cease its enforcement actions and revoke past citations against its client, Rabbi Rafi Dadon, who has been fined approximately $5,000 since the city began fining him in August 2025.
FOX News (h/t Stephen P)First Liberty Institute sent a demand letter to the city of Irvine on June 12 demanding the city immediately cease its enforcement actions and revoke past citations against its client, Rabbi Rafi Dadon, who has been fined approximately $5,000 since the city began fining him in August 2025.
According to the letter sent by Sullivan & Cromwell LLP and First Liberty Institute, the city’s justifications for the fines have frequently changed.
The city initially claimed that Dadon was engaging in unpermitted “Church activities” that required a Conditional Use Permit, under local zoning regulations. Later, officials dropped the reference to “Church activities” and alleged Dadon was violating zoning rules related to “Accessory Use” and “commercial activity” and suggested his home was operating as a “place of worship,” according to the demand letter.
“It is chilling that City of Irvine officials have resorted to serving fines to a small group of Jewish residents who meet together for worship, prayer, and religious observances,” Gardner said in a statement. “Rabbi Dadon has a constitutional right to engage in religious exercise at his home with family or friends, free from government burden and interference.”
