I'm not sure this is still active in that area of Brooklyn, but it is mere blocks from the place of arrest, also has an interesting history it seems..

Sect Had Roots In Brooklyn

...excerpts...

Early in the morning of April 19, 1979, Horace Greene was shot dead on a Brooklyn street as he went to open the day care center he ran.

It seems the sort of crime that should have been easy to crack. It was brazen, committed on a public street. The victim was a high-profile local activist.

The city offered a $10,000 reward. There was even a witness who provided a description of a bearded gunman wearing a Muslim robe and cap, recalls Bill Clark, a retired New York Police homicide detective.

...

The Ansaru Allah Community's growth, coincided with rising tensions in the United States between the government and Muslim groups, Clark noted.

"Police were very sensitive to observing the religious sanctity of institutions like this," he said.

See how close both those addresses are to the Navy Yard at the far left of the map?

I remember those guys soliciting for money on the subway when I was college, about 25 years ago. Glad I never gave 'em anything.
