WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) - Winston-Salem-area Muslims are reaching out to the community after death threats were allegedly made during a local meeting of conservative activists last week.

The Winston-Salem Journal (https://bit.ly/2lCmp78 ) reports the Annoor Islamic Center in Clemmons will open its doors Friday for its 1:30 p.m. services. It will then host a town hall-style meeting in which members of the public can ask questions about Islam.

The other two mosques in the area will also have their doors open during afternoon services.



The FBI earlier this week said it is investigating a meeting last week in Kernersville where a group listened to a guest speaker talk about the Muslim Brotherhood.

In audio posted on alternative newspaper Triad City Beat’s website, someone says he is ready to “start killing the hell out of (Muslims).”
