| [slm] From a CAIR report: By Ray Henry, The Boston Globe, 5/15/02 http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/135/metro/Praying_Muslims_lead_to_evacuation+.shtml STOUGHTON - A nervous manager created a stir last night after she saw four Muslim men saying their evening prayers at the BJ's wholesale club and called authorities, fearing that the group was about to launch a terror attack, officials said. The manager called Stoughton police, who called State Police. A bomb squad was deployed to the store as it was evacuated. The Stoughton Fire Department also sent a squad of firefighters with a fire truck* Until they called the FBI in Boston, local authorities apparently didn't know that Muslims typically pray five times a day, including once around sunset, Stoughton Police Lieutenant Francis Wohlgemuth said. Wohlgemuth said that while Stoughton police have handled several bomb threats since Sept. 11, they have not received training on Muslim customs... |

| umm muqaddar... can I ask WHY you guys did that?? besides disturbing the sleep of every neighbor there and having them mutter "dang mozlims" as they slammed the door? talk about anti-dawah... and we wonder why people call the bomb squad when people start praying |

[] If only I had been there with you guys to see the puzzelled looks on the people. Gotta admit you people have gutts. Though I would like to point out that it wasn't a nice thing to do. ;) |
