An Islamic school in the Twin Cities suburbs will expand it's facilities, much to the shagrin of some of it's neighbors. "Al-Amal" school is a private K-through-12 school in Fridley. In addition to a traditional academic subject areas, the school provides classes in Koran, Islam and Arab language to it's roughly 350 students who hail from throughout the Metro area. When the school announced it wanted to expand it's facilities to include computer and science labs for it's high-school age students, neighbors balked. But on a 3-2 vote last week, the Fridley City Council approved the expansion plan. The Islamic Center of Minnesota operates the school. It's vice president, Anwar Abdul Karim, says the expansion will help provide some basic services to current students.
