Western Kentucky May Get First Mosque

Graves is a county of roughly 200 churches. But that statistic could soon change to 200 churches and one mosque. A group of around 150 Somali Muslims who live and work in near Mayfield have submitted an application for a permit to hold religious services in a small building on Broadway. It would be the first public mosque in far western Kentucky. As Angela Hatton reports, the news is causing a lot of discussion among residents and business owners.
