Thank you for sharing. I'm really heartened to see initiatives & people like this from within the Muslim community. Imam Daayiee sounds awesome![/quote]

Imam Daayiee is one of the few Imams who will perform Nikah for interfaith (Muslim wife/non-Muslim husband), and also same sex Nikahs![/quote]

Is that really atypical? Seems pretty standard to me.

One thing to keep in mind, is that Islam and mosques don't really do "memberships" or some kind of tithing to a mosque. Zakat and giving to charity is required, but Islamic institutions are really very loosely organized and there's not a formal relationship between leadership/parishioner, or monetary tithing to religious leadership/organization. I would probably bet that those rates are also posted averages, and not permanently fixed for all or varying needs. [/quote]
