A feud between two Transit Road neighbors — a homeowner and a mosque — turned ugly this weekend when the homeowner staked a sign on his front lawn insinuating that the new 11,600-square-foot Islamic worship site is home to a “bomb making” operation.
Michael Heick, who lives next door to the Jaffarya Islamic Center of Niagara Frontier, put a small sign that reads “Bomb Making Next Driveway” to northbound traffic on Transit Road. The next driveway on the same side of the road as Heick’s home heading north is the Jaffarya Center, at 10300 Transit.
Mosque members and other area Muslims objected to the sign and called upon Heick to take it down.
