Mosque takes over former Wheaton church ( Illinois )
Chicago Tribune ^ | December 2, 2013 | Bob Goldsborough

A mosque recently moved into a former church building on the northeast side of Wheaton, becoming what is believed to be the city's first Islamic institution.

In late August, the Islamic Center of Wheaton bought and moved into the 26,193-square-foot former First Assembly of God Church at 900 E. Geneva Road, at the southwest corner of Geneva Road and President Street. Records show that, through a bank trust, the Islamic Center of Wheaton paid $3.15 million for the church and its 7.08-acre property.

Mosque spokesman Abraham Antar said he and his fellow congregants are excited about their new home, which he said is Wheaton's first Muslim community.

Follow the money. How does a small Islamic “community” come up with that kind of funding?

The Saudis fund it at times.

The Saudi STATE.

We are told of the dangers of Church and State but the ACLU remains silent on a foreign theocratic government establishing outposts in the West. There is no "diversity" or "tolerance" on display. The Saudi government seizes non-Isalmic texts and destroys them without complain by our State Department.

Where are all the people 0bama used to talk about, you know, the ones who burned churches? Seems like there are some “shovel-ready” jobs for them in the heartland.

Sounds like a good place for the Wheaton College kids to evangelize.
