This has apparently shocked the Triangle area Muslim community. I’m not quite sure why, perhaps they haven’t been paying attention to what some have been doing in the name of their religion (Raleigh N&O) A woman accused of working with a Triangle man convicted of conspiring to commit terror to arrange murder of three witnesses […]

I guess we could term this a pre-protest, since President Bush, er, Obama, isn’t even at the stage of threatening war against Iran (WTVD Raleigh) Rising tensions with Iran spawned anti-war protests in the Triangle. About two dozen protesters gathered outside the federal courthouse in downtown Raleigh Friday. The protesters in Raleigh joined people in […]
