Meadows should approve prayer hall expansion
This coming Tuesday, Aug. 14, Rolling Meadows aldermen are expected to vote on proposed plans for the Islamic Society of the Northwest Suburbs' proposed prayer hall and Sunday school at 1200 Hicks Road.
As an active member of nearby Countryside Church Unitarian Universalist in Palatine, I urge the city's elected officials to move ahead and allow this much-needed expansion to support the area's Muslim community. We are a nation built on ethnic, cultural, racial and religious diversity - it is vital and healthy for our civic and spiritual life.
