“Really, for me, it’s mixed emotions,” Ahmad Al-Akoum, imam at the mosque, said after a police commander notified him of the arrests Thursday.
“I really hate for people to be in trouble with the law,” he said. “However, I think the lesson needs to be taught to everybody who feels they’re entitled to infringe on other people’s properties and rights. People need to learn.”
The imam said he won't let attacks change how the mosque operates: It will continue to leave its doors unlocked and welcome visitors of all faiths.
