Just in case someone says "Where are the moderate/peaceful Muslims"

A coalition of eight leading U.S. Muslim organizations held a Saturday press conference in Washington D.C. to denounce the horrific Paris terrorist attacks that killed over 120 people. The U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations (USCMO) released a press statement on Saturday condemning the acts of terror.

has a mosque -- interesting building. Dome, walls, covered in ornate tile decoration. The grounds are small, but neat and tidy. The town has an ordinance against churches/mosque making any kind of noise (bells, clarions, calls to prayer) so the mosque is as quiet as the rest of the houses of worship here. There has never been one minute in which I had any fear or even concern about them. They appear to be pretty good neighbors. So, THIS is one of the places one might find moderate/peaceful Muslims. I doubt it is the ONLY place moderate/peaceful Muslims can be found. One just has to be willing to take off the hate-blinders and take a look around.
