Miss Kelly has a report on an open forum held last Friday night on "New Immigration Laws and Civil Rights in America" featuring representatives of the ACLU and the local Muslim community including one of the two arrested Imams, Abdul Hannan: MAS and ACLU Speak at Islamic Society of Greater Lowell
An interesting snip:
Imam Hannan admitted that he had worked for Muhammed Khalil for three and a half years, but said that he didn't do anything wrong, so why was he arrested? My source further relates that Imam Hassan was visibly agitated about being arrested, held for several days in jail, and for being treated disrespectfully by the prison employees. He said that his jailers "don't know who they are dealing with." Imam Hannan also spoke about conducting "dawah" (missionary work) from the minute he got to jail. In fact, Hannan said he converted two people in jail to Islam, which very much pleased and excited the crowd...
