The FBI in Pittsburgh.....

Mosque Members Still Questioning FBI Raid Fri Jul 7, 8:14 PM ET
FBI agents caused quite a stir when they swarmed a house of worship on the North Side last week.

So far, the bureau has refused to address the disruption at the Light of the Age mosque -- and its members are not happy.

"Why did the FBI raid our place of worship last Friday, preventing us from having our congregational prayer?" mosque director Luqman Abdus-Salaam asked on Friday.

On the outside, there are no obvious signs that the building at 1320 Boyle St. is a place of worship.

But inside, there are signs of faith -- and broken doors that mosque members said are the result of the FBI raid.

"We can be proud that Muslims of several different mosques have come forward in the hopes of preventing the FBI from doing any more injustice," said Saleh Waziruddin, of the activist group Jamaat For Justice.

1. Since when does a search warrent give the FBI the right
to destroy doors to gain entrance? And if it was a search warrent, why execute it at the time of prayer? Sounds like intimidation to me. If there were legitimate reasons for damaging the doors and coming at that particular time, why doesn't the FBI say so?
