According to some sources, Cedar Rapids is the home of the first Islamic mosque in North America.
Huh. I didn't know that.
That building isn't the one behind which I played as a kid.
They must have built a newer, bigger one. I don't remember ever seeing that little one, and I thought I had been all over Cedar Rapids.
FWIW, all the Muslims I knew in C.R. (a handful at best) were the nicest people.
