CORDOVA, TN (WMC-TV) – In New York protesters continue to demonstrate against a proposed mosque near the site of the September 11th attacks. This protest comes days after a Nashville Mosque site was vandalized. But here in the Mid-South there’s a different sentiment. A Cordova church congregation is welcoming a new Islamic Center.
The words on the sign said it all, “Heartsong Church welcomes Memphis Islamic Center to the neighborhood.”
“Once we put up the sign, within three days people from Memphis Islamic Center contacted us and were overwhelmed with emotion that we would be so welcoming.”
