One such copycat anti-mosque campaign took place in 2010 in the southern college town of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, near the campus of Middle Tennessee State University. Anti-Muslim protestors here similarly denounced plans for a large mosque proposed near a residential subdivision.

The protests and subsequent court challenges ended up delaying the construction of the mosque for nearly five years.
