The illustrious Brown’s AHK represents a convergence between drug trafficking and Islam. According to prosecutors, AHK deals drugs all over Chicago, and is "comprised of former members of the Black P-Stone, Gangster Disciples and Four Corner Hustlers who converted to Islam, the court filings say.

Years ago, in his study of the Taliban, journalist Ahmed Rashid reported: "Abdul Rashid, the head of the Taliban’s anti-drugs control force in Kandahar, spelt out the nature of his unique job. He is authorized to impose a strict ban on the growing of hashish, ’because it is consumed by Afghans and Muslims.’ But, Rashid tells me without a hint of sarcasm, ’Opium is permissible because it is consumed by kafirs [unbelievers] in the West and not by Muslims or Afghans.’ This seems to have been a common view among the Taliban. Another Taliban named Khaled asked, ’Who cares if heroin is wreaking havoc in the West? It doesn’t matter; they aren’t Muslims.’"
