Feds Seize four mosques linked with Iran

Four Mosques were seized by the Federal prosecutors, whose organization, Alavi Foundation, that owns them believes is linked and providing money to the Iranian government. Concern resulting from the Feds is based upon the notion that these mosques are helping Iran bankroll terrorism. Much controversy over whether this infringes upon first amendment right to freedom of religion. No rais were conducted, omly notices of civil complaint were made outside the doors of the Mosque. Such an event is significant do to the tense relations between Iran and the United States currently. The investigation has been going on for nearly two decades.
