#1 This is nothing new, except for the time frame. In the mid-60's the foreign fighters frequented this area and found a home. In fact, many decided to stay and become part of the family. Blood...is indeed thicker than...well...country of origin.

#5 They probably got suspicious when he insisted on leading morning prayers from the back of the mosque. ;-)
