“On Monday morning, a pickup truck with a “Don’t Tread on Me” bumper sticker rolled past the mosque. The driver revved his engine and raised his index finger in the air as if making the gesture for No. 1.”

Thought this mosque was under surveillance. Known radical Islamic hotspot . Heard some of the 9/11 terrorists attended it.
