Mosques have been here since the colonial era. A mosque, or masjid, is literally any place where Muslims make salat, the prayer performed in the direction of Mecca; it needn’t be a building. One of the first mosques in North American history was on Kent Island, Md.: Between 1731 and 1733, African American Muslim slave and Islamic scholar Job Ben Solomon, a cattle driver, would regularly steal away to the woods there for his prayers — in spite of a white boy who threw dirt on him as he made his prostrations.

I hate to source the compost, but it is all I could find on short notice:

Actually the first mosque was in 1929. It was torn down. And, yes, it needs to be a building.

Mother Mosque of America was built in 1934 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Being a muslim apologist on FR is a dangerous thing to be.........

Fast forward to the here, and now. We have a problem that requires attention, and the facts are the Mosques today are being built, funded in our country by an Islamic government, a tyrannical Islamic Theocracy WITH INTENT to subjugate our nation to its will. Nothing less than an act of war.

Do we shut down their outposts, their mosques now, or try to later when they have killed off half, or better of our population?

Personally I think the constitution has an answer for us that will win the day, but we have to have the correct frame of mind to administer the appropriate law(s), and it cannot be a defeatist frame of mind, nor a Democrat frame of mind either.

Thanks for your input. Have a great evening.
