Plans to build a mosque to house an expanding Muslim community are causing outcry in Lilburn by residents who argue the large facility will disturb their small-town way of life.

A founder of the 11-year-old local congregation of Dar-E Abbas says the 10,000-square-foot mosque will be a national showplace and will include a special Muslim cemetery.
