Ziad Akir, who heads the Athens Islamic Center at 13 Stewart St., doesn't have "solid evidence" the center is being watched. But no one at the center knows who owns the black SUV that frequently has been seen parked in their lot.
"(One member) claims that there is strange equipment on the car with flashing indicators. I don't know for sure, but it may be a possibility," said Akir speculating on whether someone may be spying on the center.
Some may scoff at Akir's claim as a bout of paranoia during trying times for Arab Americans and those whose faith is Islam. Think again, advises another prominent Ohio Muslim, who contends he has heard of similiar complaints from nearly every mosque in the state.
"We hear of mosques being spied on, being watched, quite frequently," said Jad Humeidan, director of CAIR Ohio. CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) is considered one of Muslim America's most influential non-profits.
He said that the identity of whoever is conducting the surveillance remains a mystery. And if the mystery is nothing more than a perceived -- as opposed to real -- threat, it appears justified for Arab Americans during the post-9/11 era of fear.

Mohammad raped, robbed, murdered, lied and maimed his way to power.
His writings where nothing more than the raving perversions of a power mad individual's distorted attempt to use religion as a means to control people and get them to do his bidding.
He was no more a prophet or man of God than, Charles Manson, Jim Jones, Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Heaven's Gate, The Unibomber or any number of other power mad lunatics.
I say again if you want to know what the followers of a religion are going to end up believing and trying to live, then look at the life of the one who is the source of the teachings.
I feel safer to know that these people are being watched. After 9/11 we have every reason to keep an eye on them, and if you're not guilty of anything why be nervous?
I should hope that's already being done --- all phone lines to a mosque should be wiretapped and everyone entering and leaving the mosque should be checked out. How much time they spent in there should be noted, any new muslims showing up should be noted, passports and everything checked out.
Absolutely true.
Do some background reading on the Koran and Hadith and just LIE to them that you are very interested in their beliefs. They're always looking for converts.
Do yourself a favor and Google your town or county +islamic and watch how many Islamic centers/mosques come up. I did it for conservative Orange County, CA and got some 7 different places for worship/study. Scary, but at least I know where they are now. Yes, Islamists, I'm watching...so what?
History not long enough...you ARE the DU link...GOODBYE!
Could it be.....BILL CLINTON?!
Twice, in my life, I've been about half-way into a book....closed it....stood up.....walked over to the garbage can and tossed the book in.
The two books were Mein Kampf and the Quran.
Same sh!t, different language.

After 911 after Beslan, they can just get the Hell out as far as I am concerned.
I was imitating the Church Lady...
Oh, thanks for the clarification.
I have no symphathy whatsoever. When the time comes, I will not show any mercy to the muslim animals. No mercy. They are not human. Its them are us. And I'm tired as hell of this PC white glove treatment these animals get in the press. One day the leash will break...
Angry thread bump.
