HAWTHORNE — Inside a nondescript building situated across the Passaic River from Paterson’s 2nd Ward, members of one of the nation's oldest Muslim organizations opened its Wagaraw Road mosque to the public to denounce terror suspect Sayfullo Saipov.
About 20 congregants of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA, an Islamic organization that boasts 70 chapters across the United States, assembled Thursday night around cups of coffee and slices of cake to discuss and debunk misconceptions about their faith.
The gathering was held in the wake of Tuesday’s terrorist attack in lower Manhattan, in which eight people were killed and a dozen injured.
Saipov, 29, allegedly drove a rented Home Depot truck down a West Side Highway bike path, striking pedestrians and cyclists before ramming a school bus. Shouting "God is great" in Arabic, he then emerged from the truck with a paint ball gun and a pellet gun, authorities said. He was taken into custody after police shot him in the abdomen.
