I have to ask whether any of those were Ahmedi? Ahmedism was more prominent than "ordinary" Islam in the U.S. in the early 20th century... AnonMoos (talk) 20:29, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@AnonMoos Ahmadis are not Muslims. 39.34.135.121 (talk) 09:34, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's what the government of Pakistan says, but it doesn't change the fact that Ahmedis were rather prominent in the U.S. during the first half of the 20th century, and built some of the buildings called "mosques", until large-scale immigration of adherents of other types of Islam occurred under the 1965 law, and other reasons...
