Every
couple of weeks, I pass by a small mosque (masjid) on my way to Target. After the initial Muslim travel ban was enacted, I noticed
colorful posters of support tied along the property’s fence. Unable to read the
messages from my car, I did some sleuthing. I was happy to see that the community
support didn’t appear to be in response to any sort of vandalism at Idris Mosque (it was just in response to the
more systematized hate crime perpetrated by the Executive Office).
Turns
out, the unassuming brick building was
actually the first masjid in Seattle and has an interesting history. Learn more here.
Keep on
keeping on,
