Like A Good Neighbor

Muslim leaders in Buffalo, New York are upset that a homeowner who lives next door to a newly opened mosque has posted a sign on his front lawn that reads "Bomb Making-Next Driveway."  Homeowner Michael Heick lives along a heavily traveled road in the town of Amherst, a Buffalo suburb.  The next driveway on the same side of the road is the entrance to the Jaffarya Islamic  Center.

Heick told local media outlets that he put up the sign because he was frustrated with how the mosque and town officials handled his complaints that the mosque was built too close to his property and that its bright lights violate local codes.  "The place is too close. I don't care what people think," he told the Buffalo News. "This is a way to get answers now. I get none from the town. The intent was to catch the eye of the people who I have a problem with."
