ST. PAUL, Minn. – The program director at Dar Al-Farooq mosque that was bombed three years ago, Abdulahi Farah, said the verdict against Michael Hari sends a “strong message” to American Muslims everywhere. “Our community members definitely have been sharing messages of hope instead of fear and isolation,” Farah said. Noting that mosque attendance had declined after the bombing, Faah said: “Many more members are slowly coming back and feeling like this is the place where we belong, this is our home and we’re not going anywhere.”
