I went to the mosque tonight. Hadn't been there in two weeks because I felt I was doing better at home. The isha prayer was at 7:33 pm. It finished just before 9:40 pm. The director of the mosque interrupted the prayer and started by asking who was willing to give $10,000. Nobody raised their hands. He lowered the price to $5,000 and so on and so forth. I felt like I was taken hostage. When he finally lowered the price to $500, a few people raised their hands. It still took way too long before he let us finish our prayer. I don't think I will be returning to the mosque any time soon.
