LAS VEGAS - Henderson Police
are investigating some of their own officers regarding a complaint
filed by a group of Muslim men who stopped to pray in a parking lot.
The incident happened in December. The Muslim men were passing
through Las Vegas on a road trip. They stopped at a convenience store
parking lot in Henderson to perform their sunset prayer. According to
documents obtained by 8 News NOW, a concerned citizen called
the police, saying seven Middle Eastern males were acting suspiciously
by a gray minivan with California license plates. The caller reported
several of the men were kissing the ground.
Read the Incident Report
Minutes later, Henderson Police officers arrived on the scene. One of the Muslim men recorded the incident with his cell phone.

Muslim movie attracts masses

More than 100 people came to the Student Union to watch an
award-winning documentary on the Muslim prince-turned-slave
Abdul-Rahman Ibrahima Sori, sponsored by the Muslim Students
Association in honor of Black History Month last Friday.
“It is kind of a way to show the history of Islam in America and
also the African-American history as well because they intertwine
together,” said MSA president Amin Nash. “I believe this movie will
show a different side of Islam in America and how we’ve been able to
live up to our responsibilities as Muslims and human beings.”
The number of people in attendance eventually exceeded expectations
and the MSA requested more seats to fulfill the high demand of the
event.
Even that was not enough as people stood in the back of the room to watch the movie.
“I was actually really surprised and shocked that a lot of people
showed up,” said UNLV student Jaffer Almosawy. “I expected a lot less
people.”
