Excerpt:
A group dedicated to keeping strict Muslim law, known as Shariah, from being established in the United States had its conference venue canceled after the hotel raised safety concerns.
The Tennessee Freedom Coalition was set to meet Nov. 11 at the Hutton Hotel in Nashville, Tenn. The group called the 300-person event the Preserving Freedom conference, and said it was the first of its kind in the nation that tackled the topic of "Islamization of America," according to the group's website.
Although the hotel received the deposit last week, management promptly returned the money after learning that two controversial speakers planned to attend the event.
