The Islamic Society of Greater Dayton (ISGD) is a Sunni Muslim community organization based in Dayton, Ohio. The organization includes a mosque on Josie Street.[1] Regular activities at the mosque include worship services, outreach, language classes, and religious classes.
In September 2008, two attackers reportedly sprayed a chemical agent into the windows of the Josie Street mosque during a Ramadan worship service. Worshipers left in discomfort. The incident was investigated as a possible hate crime.[2] The attack followed the distribution of Obsession, an anti-Islamic movie, in the Dayton region.[3]
The ISGD owns and maintains land that is used as a traditional Islamic cemetery.[4]
The ISGD is planning on moving to new facilities in Sugarcreek Township outside Dayton. The township approved the plans in 2008.[5] Construction on the mosque is continuing as of April 2014.[6]
