They start by disrupting Zucco's gambling and extortion rackets. They then successfully bait the riled Zucco into visiting a construction site, where they capture him.

Louis Farrakhan is from the *Nation of Islam* – which is not the mainstream Islam of Sunni, Shai, Sufi, etc. A couple of time Louis Farrakhan dangled the idea of moving NOI to join with and become Sunni Islam, and even had many leaders in the American Muslim community come to NOI gatherings in preparation in the 1.
