A weekslong quarrel involving a local resident in Albuquerque ended with a suspect arrested on two felony charges, according to a local priest. A public dispute over the construction of an Islamic mosque in Albuquerque, New Mexico, boiled over into violence earlier this month when a local resident reportedly drew a gun during an altercation with an employee of a Catholic parish. Chávez said he spoke at a county meeting on July 1 in support of the construction of the mosque. In remarks he provided to EWTN News, the priest said at the meeting that he would “love” if the mosque were built next to the Catholic parish. He referred to the Islamic religion as “noble Islam” and as “a religion of Abraham as are Christianity and Judaism.”
