This line:

"The misrepresentation of Islam and Muslims by the media, Orientalists and some missionaries necessitates the development of authentic Islamic literature"

is stated as fact when it clearly is an opinion (presumably by NAIT)

Where is this coming from? "... often appoints individuals to the mosques' boards of directors, appoints the mosque's imam (who is often Wahhabi), supplies free Wahhabi literature, and brings promising candidates to Saudi Arabia for additional indoctrination before sending them back to the US." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.36.49.198 (talk) 12:39, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"The North American Islamic Trust (NAIT) is a Saudi-backed organization based in Plainfield, Indiana..." There is no citation provided for the claim that NAIT is a "Saudi-backed.organization." There appears to be no evidence for this and so I have edited this sentence. Viola Clay (talk) 23:04, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

NAIT owns an estimated one in five mosques in the United States." This is inaccurate. NAIT is a trustee (not owner) of about 200 Muslim institutions (mosques, Islamic centers, schools), and according to figures from 2010, there are 2,106 mosques in the United States, "The overall number of mosques in the United States quietly rose from 1,209 in 2000 to 2,106 in 2010" via. List of mosques in the United States. This means that NAIT would be the trustee of less than one in ten Muslim institutions. Viola Clay (talk) 19:09, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Several of these mosques, though, have been places of worship for those convicted in terror activities."

This is irrelevant as it relates to NAIT. Per its function as a trustee of institutions NAIT does not direct, monitor or manage activities at mosques.

"The government of the U.S. has produced evidence to establish NAIT with the terrorist organization Hamas and ultimately declined to remove them from the co-conspirator list in the 2008 Holy Land Foundation Trial for terror financing."

The way the sentence is worded is ambiguous, implying that NAIT is definitively tied to Hamas which is contradicted by the next paragraph, "The court also ruled that inclusion on the list was the result of 'simply an untested allegation of the Government made in anticipation of a possible evidentiary dispute that never came to pass.'"
