Mosque in Morton Grove, Chicago
On Friday night, there were two pellet-gun shots on a mosque in the Chicago suburb Morton Grove. No one was injured, and 51-year-old David Conrad has been charged for shooting on the outer wall of the building as people prayed inside.
This was just days after Tea Party Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) delivered a town hall speech on the real threat of radical Muslims in the U.S. trying to kill Americans every week. Walsh made these comments just 15 miles from Morton Grove mosque:

I had heard about this one on the radio...but I didn't realize that it was one half mile from where I live..maybe less as a bird flys..
Kinda sad...some waco goes off, and someone fires a pellet gun into the mosque ..We live in a totally mixed community, everyone from everywhere lives in this area.. I am really very very grateful that it was just a pelet gun.. no one was hurt but it was on purpose. I heard the guy was a neigbor and didn't like that the mosque was adding on to its building..no, I don't know if that is the truth...but
Joe Walsh can go to hell with the others..

(10,103 posts)4. How many muslims has the US killed or jailed in the last 50 years?
Does anyone have a count? Do we have even an estimate?
That might be why the adherents of Islam don't care for the US, perhaps?
