Recently, two Pakistani-Americans from Lodi, California were arrested for lying to federal investigators about their involvement in terrorist training activities [see, previous posts]. Now, petitions are being circulated within the Lodi Muslim community regarding these two arrested Muslims.

Unfortunately, the petitions take opposite positions on the arrests, thus dividing the community into those who support and those who want to see the two Muslim men deported.

The article suggests that this situation reflects an ongoing rift within the Lodi Muslim community.
