10 March 1977: Hanafi Muslims (a group of black converts) seized three buildings in Washington, D.C., including the headquarters of B'nai B'rith, and held hostages for 39 hours, leading to one death and one severe injury. Don't know why yet, but I'm working on it. Some reports say 134 hostages were held, others say 150. Jul 19 03, 4:03 PM

In 1977, the Hanafis captured national headlines when they tried to stop the screening of a movie. Mohammed Messenger of God. They did this by seizing three buildings in Washington, D.C., the District Building (City Hall), the B'nai B'rith Building and the Islamic Center. They took several hostages. Several were injured and one was killed. Khalifa Hamaas Abdul Khaalis was sentenced to 21 to 120 years for his role in these seizures Jul 19 03, 8:18 PM

Hanafi Muslims held between 134 and 150 people hostage for 39 hours. I don't quite know the reason why though. Maybe they just wanted to be mean. Jul 24 03, 11:15 PM

Why is that all Muslims or Arabs or whatever groups do not shave their beards or moustaches and have big beards, what is the reason for this, religion maybe, and if yes, what is the reasoning? How long was Douglas Wood held captive in Irag? Not all Muslims are Arabs, but are all Arabs Muslims? Who is the current British Kendo Champion, and how long has he held the title?
