I can see how from a distance that you could come to that conclusion...but I don't think you would see things the same way if you were still here.


But if you feel it necessary to never come back, that is your decision.

Well that's good to hear, it's just that this along with another article I read gave the impression things have intensified. I just checked, though, after reading your post, and the other article was from September 2011, so it's not terribly recent.

For what it's worth, I actually visited the mosque that the current Muslim congregation is currently using back in 2010 for a multicultural studies class while I was at MTSU. My understanding is that there are close to 300 families who worship at the current mosque and I must say that it is extremely small. It's probably half the size of a typical Burger King restaurant or a one-bedroom apartment. Needless to say, the current Muslim community does need a much larger center so they can worship. Sadly, I thought this would have been resolved by now and their new center would have constructed. :Sigh:
