Instead of Families Having to Drive Two Hours, This Mosque Inside a Church Brings People Together
The clinic, which was sponsored by the Muslim community, will only be open on the weekends. The doctors will be traveling from across Akron and Cleveland in order to volunteer at the facility on a rotating basis.
In addition to offering primary care services, the clinic will also offer treatment for sleep disorders, asthma, allergies, respiratory medicine, and mental health conditions.
Dr. Mansoor Ahmed, who is one of the doctors volunteering at the clinic, told WEWS-TV: “We have the ability, we have the potential, we have the resources. Giving a little bit of your time, I think, goes a long way in making a difference in people’s lives.”

What a nice, feelgood story, right?
God bless 'em! However, I am concerned for their safety.
Do you guys think some crazed anti-Muslim rightwing zealot would seek to shoot them up or bomb them out of existence?
