The parcels make up a 16-block area around the mosque. <\/p>\n<p>They were taking to heart a message the mosque&#8217;s imam has been delivering for the last five years: If people want to be a part of the mosque&#8217;s school and community, they should be a part of the neighborhood. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We encouraged [mosque congregants] to buy houses here and to move into the area,&#8221; said Imam M. Ibrahim Memon. &#8220;When we first moved here in 1993, [homeowners] were offering their houses and $1,000 or $2,000 cash to take it off their hands.
