NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Dozens of jeering protesters faced down Sabina Mohyuddin at a community meeting, but she stood strong at the podium.
Mohyuddin, in a clear, firm voice, told the crowd in Manchester that Muslims often face disrespect, vandalism and violence in Middle Tennessee.
“In 2007,” she said, “a mosque was burned down in Columbia, Tennessee.”
Many in the crowd erupted into cheers.
“Shame on you!” she fired back, loudly.
