Our History
The history of the Moslem Mosque Inc. and its members is a story of Eastern European Muslims, "Tatars" who immigrated to the United States in the early 20th century. To understand the rich history of the Tatars there is no better resource than Brad Barker & Jack Bosch's video series, Lipka Tatar Heritage on YouTube. Barker and Bosch are Tatars who are descendants of the original mosque members.
