Some Gwinnett County residents hit the streets Sunday as they prepared for a battle over a controversial neighborhood mosque.

They were passing out flyers in opposition to the planned expansion of the Dar e Abbas mosque in Lilburn.

Members want to add a new building and cemetery on the site.

But not everyone is happy about the plans.

They want residents to attend a special meeting scheduled for this Thursday.

A previous meeting at the Lilburn City Hall was cancelled because of an overflow crowd.
