#1 ...Man, things really HAVE changed back home - when we moved to Lorain in '65, it was all solidly Italian, when I left in '77 it was mostly Puerto Rican...

#2 "Man, things really HAVE changed back home." Sorry. The neighborhood ain't what it used to be.

#4 Were Muslims. (The congregants) trusted him, thats what we do, Shearson said. Were not suspicious of each other.

We noticed. Believe me, we noticed.

We let someone slip in that we didnt check fully, said Ephraim Bahar, 60, another board member. Now we are the victim.

Of course. You're a Muslim; the very word means "victim".

He said people in the congregation were afraid to attend Friday services and children were afraid of an anti-Muslim backlash at school.

Of course they are! Not so worried about making sure the fellow leading you in prayers isn't a career criminal, but when he goes out an robs people, well, then you worry about what might happen to YOU.

Asshats.
