They are has-beens on the EC. The numerous black salafi Masjids in the East Coast includes the largest African-American Masjid in America in East Orange, NJ and a big community in Philly and then you have brothers like Siraj Wahaj in Brooklyn.No nohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435427645758669535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11506454.post-1134793834686490992005-12-16T22:30:00.000-06:002005-12-16T22:30:00.000-06:00Yeah, I appreciate the good NOI does, but the way ...Yeah, I appreciate the good NOI does, but the way they operate sometimes and what they believe is pretty un-Islamic, in my opinion. <BR/><BR/>I had an FOI guy threaten me in Oakland once cos he thought I was a drug-dealer, it was really odd.
