In 1950, Khalifa Hamaas Abdul Khaalis (Ernest T. McGee) joined the Nation of Islam in an attempt to bring the sect into line with orthodox Sunni Islam. By 1956, he had become national secretary. His efforts proved unsuccessful, so in 1958, he broke with Elijah Muhammad and founded the Al-Hanif, Hanafi, Madh-Hob Center, Islam Faith, United States of America, American Mussulmans. Based in Washington DC, the Hanafis still adhere to the basic tenets of Sunni Islam.
The Hanafi Muslims gained notoriety in 1973 when five members of the Philadelphia Nation of Islam brutally murdered seven Hanafis, including five members of Khalifa Hamaas Abdul Khaalis' immediate family. Again in 1977, the Hanafis captured national headlines when they tried to stop the screening of the 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.
Where are Khaalis and the rest of the murderers now, I wonder?
Khalis family members were murdered by Nation of Islam thugs.
Khalis had dared to criticize Elijah Muhammad and the NOI as charlatans.
Khalis led some of his Hanafi people in this hostage taking-murder spree as revenge for the authorities not going after all the perps who killed his children and grandchildren, among other family members.
I'll give Khalis this much. Top Nation of Islam leaders may have been behind the hit and did not get punished because political leaders then didn't have the cohones to do a full investigation of Elijah Muhammad and his top deputies like Louis Farrakhan.
It doesn't justify the horrible acts Khalis committed, but it shows the kid glove treatment given to the Nation of Islam by the media and government over the last 50 years.

He is currently serving a sentence of 41 to 120 years
I think the question is, "What faculties are they on now?"
