Muslims must be cautious of their leadership

I have been following the newspaper and TV accounts of the recent arrests of the five Lodi Muslims.

I can't help but be concerned. Lodi had always been a friendly, safe place to live. I would hope that the majority of our Lodi Muslim community are good, America-loving citizens.

However, look what happened in England. Most of those young men went to school, played sports, worked and appeared to be good citizens of England.

What went wrong?

I implore the Muslim community to be cautious of their leadership and be aware of anything that doesn't seem quite right. There may be some "wolves in sheep clothes" among you.
