Thread Name: BS: A Thought (protecting mosques)
Subject: RE: BS: A THOUGHT
Good idea, LadyJean.
So far as I know, Juneau doesn't have a mosque or an Islamist center of any kind, but I know we have at least a few Muslims. Juneau is a great place to live- for a small town we are a diverse community. I'm going to ask a journalist friend of mine here if there is a gathering place.
A few years ago after the local Jewish community had built a synagogue, someone - probably some kids - spray painted some anti-Semitic stuff on a wall out front. The community was outraged and we all converged on the spot and scrubbed it clean. So far as I know, no one was ever found who admitted to having done it.
