Before this goes much further -
The family of the alleged Fort Hood military base shooter held his mother's funeral at the same mosque that two Sept. 11 hijackers attended in 2001, at a time when a radical imam preached there.
I think this says much more about the expectations of church attendence right now than anything of substance.
Like, you only attend with people of your own political leanings and all that, and don't question them.
And people who attend on a regular basis are nuts, anyway.

I can count the number of mosques I know of on less than two hands, and I'm in Los Angeles.
I seriously doubt they are swimming in them in Virginia to the point where if you're devout, you have much choice about where you can participate and with who.
And I've said something about being poked with privilege sticks already.
Just, tuck it away. Food for thought, that kind of thing.
