I visted the Mother Mosque two weeks ago. I’m from Chicago and had a visit from Joseph Aossey, a third generation member of the community. Much of Irving’s papers have survived and I am talking to other community members about ways to salvage even some of the most damged materials. It will cost, so I suggest anyone interested in preserving the history of Islam in America donate to the Mother Mosque fund to pay for perserving records and rebuilding the Mother Mosque.

I wondered if your building would be affected–I haven’t been back to CR for several years, and didn’t know exactly where it stood. I was very proud of the fact that this mosque stood in CR. I had told a Turkish friend of mine, who may be going to school at U of I in fall, about it. I wanted him to visit and share in its history. Hope all repairs go well.
