My apologies...I must have blinked

A 16 year old in Broward county faked an attempted abduction. This event supposedly happened at a bus stop. Police now charging her with making a false report. No word on her reason for faking it.

attention of course. Either from her parents or a boyfriend. My take.

I agree with wanting attention. It could also be an initiation act for one of the many gangs. Just speculating.

Sounds too tame for a gang initiation.

I was fortunate to go to a Gy. reunion (MMZ) while in NY a few years back. It was a fun event. I wish I had the chance to attend more of these things.

For those interested, here's the link to the Guyana Day:

Feds: Imam, family aided Taliban

For more than a decade, an elderly, frail imam led a devout following at South Florida’s oldest mosque.

But authorities say Hafiz Muhammad Sher Ali Khan was leading a secret life as a terrorist sympathizer at Miami’s Flagler Mosque.

On Saturday, FBI agents arrested the 76-year-old Muslim cleric on charges of conspiring with four other Khan family members and a Pakistani man to finance the terrorist activities of the Taliban rebels in Pakistan — including sending at least $50,000 through American banks to the insurgents for guns, training, schools and other resources to carry out violent attacks against U.S. forces and allies in that region.

U.S. Attorney Wifredo Ferrer said that while Khan was a “spiritual leader,” he was “by no means a man of peace.”

As dawn prayers were spoken just after 6 a.m. Saturday, FBI agents surrounded Miami’s oldest mosque, then banged on the door.

A man opened it. The agents were there with an arrest warrant.

The Muslim man explained that they were in prayer and could not be interrupted. He returned to praying. The agents, who had taken off their shoes before entering the mosque, waited quietly.

“No matter what kind of emergency, we do not break the prayer,’’ explained Shameem Akhtar, a mosque member who was there.

There was a story circulating at one time bout gulsher son...don't want to get into it.

I don't know these people because I don't give much attention to preachers anymore. IMO, they like to hear their own voices. I do believe that these people are affecting the role of the churches by dragging them into their diviant ways. The masjid is supposed to be where people have a chance to go, pray, make some friends and go home. It is not a place for politics and definitely not a place where people plan to harm others. It is always good when these people are stopped if they would not stop on their own.

Positive Guyanese news in the newspaper

By Linda Bladholm
lbb75@bellsouth.net
Homesick Guyanese head to Sheiks Bakery & Café in Pembroke Pines for a fix of roti and cook-up, a one-pot meal of rice and beans with salt fish or chicken.

Soft island music plays in the background, and food is served steam-table style. Roti are made to order, and other breads are baked fresh throughout the day. Folks from other Caribbean countries also gather in the cheery spot with golden walls and a glass case filled with cakes, pastries, fudge and bags of savory “chicken feet” snack twigs.

Owner Najibe “Bibi” Baksh opened Sheiks a few years ago after her two oldest children were off in college (her youngest will finish high school this year). Twenty-eight years ago, she came from rural Guyana to South Florida, where she met her husband, Allen, who hails from the Guyanese capital of Georgetown. He does the books for the eatery named for his father, who had a bakery back home.

Guyanese cuisine has more in common with the Caribbean than South America, reflecting its diverse mix of people and colonial past. African, East Indian, Chinese and European (mostly British, French, and Portuguese) influences are evident.

Bibi’s great grandparents came from India, so the menu has tandoori chicken, goat curry and roasted mashed eggplant. On weekends there’s lamb biryani and shrimp curry as well as pepper pot seasoned with cassareep (cassava molasses), bakes (fried bread dough) and salt fish.

Start with phulouri fritters made from yellow split pea flour or fried potato balls with tamarind sauce. Butter flap is soft bread folded in half over a mixture of butter and cheese. Tennis rolls are flavored with lemon oil, and plat is braided bread.

Roti “skin” is just the flat bread. Roti wraps can be had with any number of fillings from mashed pumpkin to beef curry. There are also egg rolls, fried rice and chow mein noodles.

Satisfy a sweet tooth with salara cake (coconut jelly roll), pineapple tart or cassava pone.

Linda Bladholm’s latest book is “Latin and Caribbean Grocery Stores Demystified.”

It being absent might be more the writer's choice than theirs. They are not the kind of people who would deny another their due recognition. The original owners are part of that same most wonderful family.

Btw DF, I went to BB the other day and I wasn't pleased wid dem customer service suh meh leh dem store without shopping!

Hacks was near to Brian Piccolo park. I never cared for the food there except for their red chicken. Nothing like their food in Guyana.
