(POCATELLO) – A group of southeast Idaho Muslims is looking to build a new mosque in Pocatello. Ebraheem Gibbons says the group needs about $200,000 to erect a facility capable of holding 300 people at once. Local leaders say fundraising has been difficult for Muslim organizations since 9-11. The group currently worships in a small home downtown.
