My guess is he is an American "Black Muslim".

Yes, and he's very devout.. Lamonte is a good guy and to persecute him or deny him constitutional protections because of what Osama and the dirty underwear gang did on 9/11 is unthinkable.

Forest Park can be a rough area, believe me.. I worked there for years.

If your car broke down there you would welcome a devout muslim like Lamonte stopping to help.

(Unlike much of the surrounding community, druggies, wanna be gang bangers, general criminal types.. etc.)

Jhoffa, I caught you.

"Black Muslims" are not considered "true Muslims" by the world Muslim community.

According to Islam, Mohammad is the Seal of the Prophets", i.e., the last prophet sent from God. There is none after him. Therefore, "Black Muslims" who consider Elijah Mohammad, their founder, a prophet, and they do, are guilty of heresy and blasphemy by orthodox Muslims. Black Muslims also have some very strange and unorthodox beliefs which separate them from mainstream Islam in other respects.

You can't compare American "Black Muslims" with the creatures from the Middle East threatening us now.
