| Description: | The fragrance of flowers replaced gasoline fumes outside a North Seattle mosque yesterday as scores of people condemned a man's acts of retaliation against Muslims by flooding the prayer house with peace offerings. Bouquets, American flags and letters of support overflowed on a brick landing outside the Islamic Idriss Mosque, where authorities say a 53-year-old Kenmore man arrived late Thursday night with a can of gasoline, a gun and bad intentions. Yesterday afternoon, Jews, Christians and Buddhists joined Muslims for an interfaith service at the mosque -- a demonstration of kinship in stark contrast to what transpired less than 24 hours earlier. The apparent backlash from the terrorist attacks on New York and suburban Washington, D.C., prompted Mayor Paul Schell and Police Chief Gil Kerlikowske to reassure leaders of Seattle's Muslim community yesterday with pledges to beef up patrols and offers to assign officers to mosques and community centers. The men were among several young Muslims who had stayed after evening prayer services to protect the temple, which had received threatening phone calls in the past few days. The suspect lost control as he attempted a turn, smashing into a telephone pole and ripping through a wooden fence at a hospice for the elderly across the street from the mosque. A 31-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of malicious harassment, a felony, in connection with the attack on the cab driver. |
