Trenton, NJ – Mosque Going To Court To Remove Their Fundamentalist Leader.

Trenton , NJ – The founders of the Masjid As-Saffat mosque in Trenton have sued in Superior Court in Mercer County to have their religious leader removed.

The suit, filed by International Muslim Brotherhood, the mosque’s owner, as well as three founding members, claims that Imam Sabur Abdul Hakim is trying to make the congregation more fundamentalist.

They also claim Hakim has recently adopted stricter views of Islam and is planning to beam in lectures by satellite from a conservative sect in Saudi Arabia.

The mosque was founded in 1981 by local Muslims and state employees needing a place to pray and was open to all sects. [1010wins]
