So I tried to interview these guys, but I ran into two problems in the process. First, none of them knew even a moderate amount of English (just the greeting and basic words for bartering) and second, one of them who did know English well shooed me away. From personal experience and my interviews with other Muslims, these guys are not about proselytizing Islam. Regardless, here are some pictures.
