  1. I was encouraged by the response of the local mosque.

     

     

    On Thursday night, the mosque was in mourning for the Marines Mr. Abdulazeez is accused of killing. To honor them, Dr. Sheikh said, the center had canceled the Eid al-Fitr celebration planned for Friday, signifying the end of Ramadan. About 1,000 people normally attend.

    But Dr. Sheikh, interviewed in the center’s near-empty parking lot Thursday night, said it would have been wrong to celebrate this year. “We have canceled out of respect and remembrance for our fallen Marines,” he said.

    Dr. Sheikh said he had “minimal interactions” with Mr. Abdulazeez upon his return, and “didn’t notice anything different in his demeanor.” He said that the center’s leaders had met with F.B.I. officials and offered their “full support” to the investigation.

    The mosque and center, he said, normally draw about 200 or 300 people for Friday Prayer, and serve a diverse community with roots in Pakistan, Africa, India, the Middle East and the United States.

    The bellicose interpretations of jihad, he said, were not preached at the mosque, and he said that parents were sensitive to the way that the Islamic State and other radical groups had used the Internet to entice and recruit young American and European Muslims to violent causes.

    “We certainly do not want to be part of that demented ideology,” he said. “That is not the message we preach here. What people do on the Internet or the World Wide Web or in their own homes, we can’t control that.”

  2. What was in it when you got it?

    I put some nice stuff in it ( at the time) couple of passthroughs, a couple of ego batts and lots of VT juice. When I got it all that was in it was a couple of useless 808's and some half filled juice bottles :D

    I wonder who put the 808's in there???? :lol:

    Not every Republican is a bigot or a racist BUT when I meet a raging bigot, they are always named Sharpton and Jackson

    Not every Democrat is a free-loader living off the government BUT when I meet a free-loader, they are almost always a Democrat

    Not everyone that are proud of Southern Heritage and want to preserve the rebel flag are racists BUT when I see a jacked up old 4x4 with a 4x6 rebel flag flying in the back I seriously doubt they are on their way to a "Unity Rally".

     

    Fixed that for ya :D
