Islamic Faithful Speak Out About Attempted Bombing

The Central Oregon Islamic faithful are speaking out after police arrested a Corvallis teen for trying to bomb a Portland tree lighting ceremony Friday. Abdel Karim Aouri admits he doesn't watch much of the news, because he says it distorts the Islamic faith. “They would sometimes quote the Koran and they would quote a verse out of context, and they when I would go back and look up what is said, that is not what it says you know.” Aouri tells our news partner News Channel 21there are only about 20 members of the Islamic faith in Central Oregon. They meet in homes because the closest Mosque is in Corvallis. They are talking about opening a Mosque in Redmond. Aouri says instead of just tolerating each other, members of all religions should practice real love towards one another.
