As-Salamu Alaykum
Islam today may be as much a part of America as apple pie, but plenty of Americans have never been to a masjid, and Islam is a relatively new import to the ATL, so, to Al-Farooq Masjid we go.
Invitation and kindness to strangers is one of the obligations of Islam. So they're totally interested in giving tours of the masjid. Alas, the inside isn't quite complete yet, but you still get a tour with a knowledgeable guide. Stop on by.
Also, Japanfest will be upon us next weekend. And on their website, a list of pretty much every Japanese culture/life/art/etc organization in the whole Southeast. This is one of the year's biggest ATL events.
It pre-starts on Thursday the 21st with the first of three films by Mizoguchi Kenji at 205 White Hall, Emory. ¶ 2:09 PM
