I am using pictures of the new mosque and the people within it to talk about the community. The mosque itself is one of the nicer mosques in the Lexington area, and so it draws a lot of attention to itself. It's location, along with its funding, are topics of hot debate which I will dive into within my paper. Inside the mosque, there is always food after a Friday prayer(equivalent to Sunday mass). There are lots of non Arabs at the mosque, which doesn't reflect to actual Muslim demographic accurately. Perhaps there is something to be said there. I plan on integrating these photos into my major points on the involvement of the older Muslim generation(for better or worse). The location is somewhere that is far froma overwhelming majority of the muslim community, and yet it is the nices mosque in LExington up to date. This leads people to believe theree were ulterior motives at play. Regardless, the intention would seem to be good. I will go into what that intention may be in the actual essay. Also, the point that there aren't as many Arabs in this mosque further drives the point I will make related to the mosques location.
*(The Friday Prayer occurs on Friday, so I will be putting the pictures up after I post the blog.)
