AUSTIN, Texas (AP) \u2014 The U.S. Department of Justice has closed a federal civil rights investigation<\/a> into a Muslim-centered planned community around one of the state\u2019s largest mosques near Dallas without filing any charges or lawsuits.<\/p>\n

The Justice Department had opened the investigation after U.S. Sen. John Cornyn<\/a> called for it, arguing that the development could discriminate against Christian and Jews.<\/p>\n
