The info on the Islamic scene in Miami is very interesting. What really puzzles me, however, is when I come across little mosques up here in North Florida, sometimes literally in the middle of nowhere. They seem to be in small buildings that were former Pentecostal or rural black churches. I almost never see anybody around them. More Saudi money, I guess, invested in getting ready for the day when their attacks finally succeed...
Mosques in north florida? It sounds bizarre just knowing that. Millions of Eastern European Christians emigrated all over the world to escape Muslim Turk domination and north africa and the middle east and now we have it here too. Like a growing mold or fungus.
Saudi money. Our money really. The published materials they pass out are high quality glossy kind...expensive to publish. They do lots of outreach in prisons, specific communities, college campuses, etc. Outreach to lots of lonely young women too.
"I almost never see anybody around them. More Saudi money, I guess, invested in getting ready for the day when their attacks finally succeed..."
Or smart American Muslim contractors getting a government to pay for something mostly unnecessary. That's the American spirit!
There is a huge mosque in Irving (Texas) that I drive by frequently. The day it opened, the crowds were so large they had to have policemen directing traffic.
Oddly enough, I have never seen anyone there since. No signs of activity, no cars in the parking lot, nada.
I don't know when they hold their services, so maybe I just missed them.
Irving is the multi-cultural center of the world. At least it seems so.
In 1963 there was no one here but us white trash.
That would exactly describe our little corner of central PA. Small, rural town with no blacks, hardly anybody that isn't related to everybody else ;) And yet there's a mosque in an old church, and some Middle Eastern folks who rarely go outdoors, never mind mingle.
