http://wtnh.com/2015/11/18/bullets-hit-mosque-kids-being-harrassed/The FBI is continuing to investigate an apparent anti-Islam incident at a Mosque in South Meriden. Bullets pierced the walls of the Mosque on Main Street early Saturday morning just hours after ISIS claimed responsibility for the attacks in Paris.
By one estimate there are about 100,000 Muslims in Connecticut; about 20,000 each in the Greater New Haven, Waterbury and Hartford areas. Whats happened to one Muslim community is especially shocking.
You dont have to be a forensics expert to figure out that the bullet holes in the Ahlmadiyya Community Mosque in South Meriden were made by a high powered weapon. Four bullets hit the building. Three of them piercing the wall in the prayer area. Bullets traveling at such velocity that they went through the outside wall, and an inside wall, and out through a third wall into the parking lot.
The bullets passed through a worshiping place for as many as 250 Muslims with the largest prayer time on Friday afternoons. It appears that the bullets were fired at the building early Saturday morning, long after prayers, but not long after ISIS claimed responsibility for the attacks in Paris.

This is why my Senior Meriden Correspondent spends all her time in New Haven and refers to her home town as "Dumbfuckistan".

One of the handful of things that most 'Murkins know about Islam, along with the alcohol thing and the pork thing, is that Muslims worship on Friday.

One can presume that the people who do this kind of thing are likely not terribly familiar with Muslim practices, but the author of the article seems to be providing helpful pointers for next time.

As I learned on DU yesterday, liberals shouldn't worry too much over this sort of thing.
