MOORHEAD The atmosphere was jubilant Monday, April 26, after nearly 400 people came to help the Moorhead Fargo Islamic Center clean up after the mosque was vandalized over the weekend.
So many people showed up with cleaning supplies, including pressure washers, chemicals and scrub brushes, that many had to wait on the sidelines for a chance to help. The volunteers mingled from the lawn to tables with pizza, doughnuts, bottled water and soft drinks, to discuss the hate speech that an unidentified person spray-painted on the mosque late Saturday.
