Dan Potter/WPLN Hundreds of Muslims in Murfreesboro, Tenn., gathered on Friday afternoon for prayers in a new mosque that has — at times — divided the community. Debate over the building coincided with disputes over the so-called Ground Zero Mosque in New York. The congregation in Murfreesboro weathered a bomb threat, arson attempts and a court challenge. But members say the pain was worth the prize — a proper mosque to worship in after decades meeting in a cramped office space. The imam called it a day of forgiveness. Some members of the congregation have lived in Tennessee for 30 years or more.

Now compare that with the report’s findings on China. . • Enroll 40 million children in preschool, a 50 percent increase from today.
