Planning Commission Chairman Peter Murphy, during the panel’s Thursday night meeting, waved off the latter set of complaints as “distractions.”

“The planning commission’s job is to make a land-use decision,” he said. “When I make a motion and when the Planning Commission votes, we will be making a land-use recommendation to the Board of Supervisors.”

The commission received piles of e-mails and letters on the topic in the months leading up to the decision, both urging approval and rejection. Some pointed to a 2007 report by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom suggesting the school’s texts contained passages promoting violence and intolerance of non-Muslims.
