Stated purpose

"THE NATION OF ISLAM WAS founded on the basis of peace and as an answer to a prayer of Abraham to deliver his people who would be found in servitude slavery in the Western Hemisphere in this day and time. The Flag of Islam with the symbols of the Sun, Moon, and the Stars, represent the Universe and is also a Banner of Universal peace and Harmony. Our Holy Temples of Islam were established in America as sanctuaries of peace and higher learning into the Knowledge of the Oneness of God. Our schools are called Universities of Islam and teach the higher meaning of Islam which is Mathematics. We have always been taught to respect the laws of the land. We are taught never to carry arms, to make war or to be the aggressor, for this is against the nature of the righteous. We are taught the Principles of Divine Unity and the Universal Brotherhood of Islam."

Membership
-
too large, how to find a subset? (could find a regional subset or try to contact a specific group of people within the organization, e.g., women, young people, members who are all in a certain profession)
-
Research note
-
Seems somewhat inclusive, but not necessarily closed off. Encouters a lot of opposition and therefore very wary of that. However, they do have a contact us page.

Location
