out of curiousity as much as anything i decided to find out exactly where the mosque was. I seemed to get the impression from the news articles it was a lot further south than it actually is.
Try a couple miles from my house. The two birds that went to texas attended this mosque, also were in the prescott area.
The mosque itself is very clean appearing from the street with big security fences around it. No name identification, but you can see the scrimitar in the center. Didn't see to notice any windows per se, and reminded me more of max security compound than anything else. Just my impression. I may be pulling at straws but was thinking of this on the way home. In addition to the two garland guys, i remember reading at the time of 9/11 a number of the hijackers were living in north phx. Makes sense as the mosque is there. I also had a client at the time that swore up and down she reconized one of the hijackers from the newspaper pictures. He use to change the oil in her car at a service station then located just to the west of the freeway on thunderbird and the mosque is just east of the freeway off thunderbird. Easy walking distance.
Coincidence? I don't know.
But this morning waiting for my wife outside a big box store on bell, which is just two major streets over from the mosque, as in the past i noticed quite a few middleeastern types wandering around.
Mostly in arizona, i am use to rednecks, mexicans, indians and some blacks. But it is interesting.
This mosque sits on a street the other side being residential housing. I am sure the call to prayer makes them real happy.
well, i went to the wrong mosque, the right one is further downtown to me. Must be important, fox news is there, and they hav a big cnn boom sat. truck all setup. Biggest collection of ford expeditions and tahoes, all white, with itty bitty antennas poking out that i have seen in one spot in a long time.
