“Dear Masjid Al Salam Mosque,” Abraham Davis wrote. “I know you guys probably don’t want to hear from me at all but I really want to get this to y’all. I’m so sorry about having a hand in vandalising your mosque. It was wrong and y’all did not deserve to have that done to you. I hurt y’all and I am haunted by it. And even after all this you still forgave me. You are much better people than I.” Sitting in the Sebastian County jail, in Fort Smith, Arkansas, Abraham was not entirely surprised he had ended up there. Expectations for him were so low — at his church, at school, even in his own mind — that he sometimes saw the line of his life pointing toward prison. But not like this. He’d stood watch while his friend drew swastikas and curses on the mosque’s windows and doors. Abraham wanted to tell the people there how sorry he was for what he’d done. “All in all,” he wrote at the end of the letter, “I just want to say I’m sorry.” No one at the mosque had expected to hear from the vandals. Certainly not like this. @scooternet photographed Abraham’s mother, Kristin Collins, with his letter.
