Muslim Patrol quiets crime in Shaw
On a sidewalk in Shaw, a dozen Muslim men wearing red T-shirts gather an hour before sundown.Giving credit where credit is due.
Half line up quietly behind an imam. Facing southeast toward Mecca, they bow their heads and read aloud verses from the Koran. The other half spread themselves out and look up and down the street. After a few minutes, they switch places.
The men have come not just to pray but to assume control over a crime-prone block.
