Leaders at the Islamic Association of Allen are searching for a woman who anonymously posted signs around the mosque with filled words of kindness.
They read, "You are loved," "You are welcome here," "You are a beautiful thread in the fabric of America," and "We love you."
Those simple words have made a big impact.
"This is the true face of this country," said Imam Arsalan Haque. "It shows not everybody thinks the same way, not everybody out there hates us."
For mosque outreach coordinator Ali Subhani, it is a mystery he is dying to solve.
"We played detective for a couple of hours," Subhani said, trying to track down the kind stranger to say thank you.
They reviewed surveillance video and found footage of the woman quickly pounding the signs into the ground Friday morning.
"But we haven't been able to identify her," Subhani said. "There were a lot of smiles on people's faces." It is not the only mystery mosque members have on their hands.
They're also trying to track down a woman who penned a heartwarming handwritten note and dropped it off recently.
It reads, in part, "I am white suburban middle-aged lapsed Catholic. I am your neighbor, I am not your enemy. I do not view you as suspicious."
She signed it simply, "Peace, Peggy."
"There are a lot of Peggy's in Texas, I can tell you that much," Subhani said, laughing.
Haleh Banani is a psychologist who attends the Allen mosque. She said the note and signs brought tears to her eyes.
"I've seen a lot of clients feel anxiety. People who are nervous about going outside, considering taking off their hijab – the head covering – because they feel that there's hate. They feel they might be targeted," Banani said.
But the simple acts of kindness show words can heal as much as they can hurt.
"The number of people who are kind outnumber those who are filled with hate," Banani added.
The mosque, built just last year, is on Allen Central Drive.
Subhani said it is always open to any members of the community who wish to learn more.
For a minute, I was worried the extraterrestrials had turned out to be Muslim.
Peggy is dumb.
Just look for the totally insane woman.
gee nice of peggy to tell them who she is so she can be stoned to death for being catholic and a woman outside w/o her handlers.
will peggy have a shocked look on her face when they stone her to death if sharia takes over?
Still an infidel
Peggy is completely ignorant of the true nature of Islam or its history.
If she had any sense she would know they are a threat to her and all of us infidels.
They are not here to assimilate, they are here to dominate.
It is commanded of them by their prophet.
Not I. I would have left rashers of bacon. I know...a waste of good bacon.
Hate Crime Alert......Hate Crime Alert!
Lucky for “Peggy”, she had a GPS in a locket worn around her neck. She was found in the City Library, writing notes on fancy stationery. Nurse Bertha was able to locate Peggy easily, and return her to the locked facility without further incident.
Looks like that “eat more beef” ad from chik file.
Why would you write those lies?
Why didn’t Peggy sign it? Afraid of getting her head cut off?
“The number of people who are kind outnumber those who are filled with hate,”.....May be, but we’ll wake them up. After their 1400 year sleep.
It looks like Obama’s handwriting
Lapsed Catholic?
That’s what she said.
Dhimmi.
Leave her alone, she wrote these notes anonymously.
The asylum is looking for its escaped inmate.
