Ted Hakey, a former Marine, knelt in prayer, his forehead on the floor,
beside his Muslim neighbors inside their Connecticut mosque last Saturday.
The enormity of that gesture was lost on no one.

It was only several months earlier, on the night of the terror attacks in
Paris, when Hakey, 48, went to a local bar and downed 10 drinks. In the
early morning, he went home, drank some more and loaded his 9mm handgun and
an M14 rifle. He went into his yard and fired rounds at the side of the
mosque next door.
