Muslim Community Concerns

(WOLO) YORK COUNTY, S.C., — YORK, S.C. (AP) _ Residents of a Muslim enclave in South Carolina want to meet with law enforcement authorities to discuss suspicious activity and their worries of potential attack. The Herald of Rock Hill reports (http://bit.ly/1POKw90) that residents of Holy Islamville outside York are set to meet with law officers as early as Monday. Islamville has dozens of homes, a school and a mosque. FBI wiretaps from agents in South Carolina recently uncovered a potential scheme to target Muslims for attack. Islamville Mayor Ramadan Sayeed Shakir says in recent weeks people have thrown crosses onto the property after holding a silent demonstration outside the gates. He says passersby have shouted racial and religious slurs for years. A York man last year pleaded guilty to firing guns near Islamville and was fined $500. (Source: Associated Press)
