“He was vigorously interesting [sic] in learning Islamic religion and used to go a Mosque in Carmelo and Sheik Feisal who is in Carmelo used to teach Kuran and one day he told us that there is a sheik who took him to another mosque in Minnesota and that was the time when our brother has completely changed.” Which mosque was that? Does anyone know? Does anyone care? Is the FBI looking into what is being taught at that mosque, and at the possibility that Abdi Mohamed Nur was influenced more than his sister knows by what he learned of the Qur’an at the mosque in Carmelo? Or are such inquiries “Islamophobic”?
