Muslims Find Room to Grow in D.C.'s Outer Suburbs

n the outer suburbs of Washington, long filled with Christian churches, new and expanding Muslim mosques are changing the religious landscape.

In Woodbridge, a $1.8 million mosque built to hold 1,000 worshipers will open in January. Starting in October, Ellicott City Muslims will pray in a new $2 million mosque large enough to accommodate almost 1,000 people. Mosques from Annapolis to Manassas are growing as Muslims who have migrated to the outer suburbs seek places to worship near where they live.

I see this first hand,not staying around to see it much longer.

New base of operations against DC?

[joesnuffy]

And where is the money coming from to build the mosques, Islamic centers, and for the purchases of expensive large tracts of rural US land for Muslim 'summer' camps?

Who cares...it's good for business

Even the 'Tories' back in the 1700s had to decide who they were more for..themselves and money..or their homeland,their neighbors, friends and freedom

Their decsion of course is why they are called Tories...but that is too bad...because what they really were and are...are traitors

Somebody turn out the lights when it becomes "new mecca"

You can blame AOL for one.

I don't know what is wrong with the spread of mosques across our country. We have a wonderful new pastor at the local United Church of Satan...if we can grow, why can't our brethren in Islam.

Oh, here is a photo of our wonderful new minister, he's such a good speaker...

Ah the ACLU will soon be suing to turn off the call to pray, sorry they only go after Christians.

So charge them with noise pollution.

They need a place to worship? Whatever do these awful creatures worship?

[Mister_Diddy_Wa_Diddy]

One of the Muslim's tactics for world domination is to plant Muslims in democractic countries, have them breed like rabbits and become so numerous as to become a majority.

I think I'd plant some spies in those mosques.

[Mister_Diddy_Wa_Diddy]

They worship a black rock in Mecca, called, allah.

[SunnySide]

I doubt all these very expensive mosques on choice real estate suddenly popping (strategically placed) up around the "western civilized" globe is by coincidence.
Make no mistake, it's all a part of a bigger plan.


p.s. Don't shoot the messengers

Oh more great news! And today, as I watching catching the Metro (subway) at the Pentagon, I was greeted by a pack (more like a half-dozen) who were protesting the war.

[since1868]

You arwe right,I work with Muslims here in Northern Virginia. They really do not like this country.
But they believe they will someday fly the Islamic
flag here.

"I'm laughing now," he [Abdul-Malik] said. ...... "I can hear the church bells coming from Columbia Pike. . . . One day we will hear bells and the [Muslim] call for prayers. I believe that day is coming."

I have no doubt you're right, Malik.

We used to live in Falls Church Va. There is a Masque on Rt.7, and we lived behind it. Every Friday the streets were packed with cars parking where ever they wanted. My husband would try to get out to Rt 7 from our road; they would not move, and so he would lightly tap his horn. He said that on several occasions they would start rocking his car. The police would always be there to help these upstanding citizens cross the street, and a crossing traffic light was installed just for them! Never mind that we actually needed a real traffic light there for traffic. There is one I think it is in Centerville or around there with huge gates that are always locked. Looks very inviting.
