Reply to TIL: The domestic cat is a revered animal in Islam and One of Muhammad's (PBUH) companions was known as Abu Hurairah (literally: "Father of the Kitten" PBUH) for his attachment to cats. by ElectroFlannelGore
The recommended article about historic African mosques is worth a look too.

It’s fair if you don’t like it here. But nothing interesting to do or good entertainment and performances/concerts is totally on you. Lack of diversity is absurd. And I don’t know where you’re eating but we’ve got good food. The drivers are insane, I’ve got plenty of experience with that. And metro isn’t up to snuff right now. Are you relying on others to do things? It’s possible to explore the city on your own.
I’m just not sure how you’ve missed out on what DC has to offer though. What parts of the city are you in? What venues do you know about? How much have you looked into local blogs and publications to find things to do? I love my city and I do know it’s not for everyone, but I do think you’ve not found much of what’s on offer here. Look at DCist for a good local publication and clockoutdc is an excellent resource on Instagram for things to do around town.
