A Minneapolis mosque ensnared in a controversy over missing Somali men is opening its doors to neighbors to bolster its image in the community.
The Abubakar As-Saddique (ah-boo-bah-kar ah-sah-dee-kee) Islamic Center is holding an open house and community dinner Wednesday night. It drew a large crowd of neighbors, local politicians, police officers and media who mingled with the center's Somali regulars.
Leaders of the center say despite allegations, they played no role in the departure of some young Somali men who traveled to Somalia to fight in the country's civil war.
