Too often we don’t get the whole story. Remember those two Muslim fellows who traveled the U.S. visiting mosques? Wasn’t it the Tennessee Imams who wouldn’t allow them in because they didn’t know them? I think it’s a terrible thing that’s been thrust onto Muslim clergy that they have to be skeptical (as it would be to any clergy - turning away a congregant), but they do and they are. I’m glad you highlighted the word “frequent” because I wonder what the real numbers look like.

Also, I have to tell you that I missed your post on taqiyyah or I would have commented. I was just looking through it. I know how hard it was for you to write that and I know you wanted to do it for quite some time. I’m glad you did :) It was very good!
