The Islamic Education Center located in Potomac, Maryland is a mosque that has absolutely nothing to do with terrorism nor creating terrorist regimes. This mosque is only meant for Moderate Muslims who practice what they preach. From another perspective, the US has made it harder for Iran to even support the mosque financially to keep the mosque safe and well- l-used in terms of paying bills and keeping religious programs and the the mosque constantly working well. Students also go to the mosque for prayer and not for raising a terrorist regime. In conclusion, the mosque is ONLY used by MODERATE Muslims who want to practice Islam, and not abuse it via genocide. Moderates are those who read, accept and practice the Quran entirely. They do not pinpoint at a verse related to killing. Doing so and killing in the name of any religion is like hypocrisy, which is totally unacceptable by Moderate Muslims
