I go to a small mosque here in P.A. There is a synagogue literally across from the mosque, we often hear them celebrating or worshiping. There has yet to be a single event involving them there. The idea that the community around them should be involved and improve with the mosque is so foreign to them it's not even funny. You often hear speeches in phili about how much violence is out there and what each individual can do to remove it, meanwhile the arab,bangali and pakistani mosque's each do there part in making sure people know how to do wudu properly each friday. I am sure that proper wudu is important, but there are more important issues that need to be handled more frequently instead of being pushed aside or left to the "once a month" speakers.
