NH's First Mosque Faces Uphill Battle

By Debra Daigle on Wednesday, August 30, 2006.

New Hampshire's first Islamic Mosque is under construction in Manchester.

The state's growing Muslim community, now estimated at over 3,000, has long desired its own place of worship.

And this past May, builders finally broke ground in a quiet out-of-the-way neighborhood in the state's largest city.

However, some local residents don't want the construction to continue.

NHPR Correspondent Debra Daigle has the story from Manchester.
