ISIS Beheading Videos Traced to Mosque in America, FBI Says

ISIS Beheading Videos Traced to Mosque in America, FBI Says

ISIS Beheading Videos Traced to Mosque in America, FBI Says
Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev cultivated his faith in the Islamic Society mosque, and they remember him well.
Leaders of the Cambridge, Mass., mosque were very quick to denounce his actions, claiming, like all moderate Muslims do, that his actions were not a reflection of their teachings.
The mosque pointed out that Tsarnaev was an extremist, citing a radical outburst he made during a sermon once.
Now, that same mosque is found to have harbored more than one crazy crackpot. In fact, they seem to produce them in droves:



Abdurahman Alamoudi, the mosque’s founder and first president who in 2004 was sentenced to 23 years in prison for plotting terrorism. In 2005, the Treasury Department issued a statement saying Alamoudi raised money for al Qaeda in the US.
Aafia Siddiqui, an MIT scientist-turned-al Qaeda agent, who in 2010 was sentenced to 86 years in prison for planning a New York chemical attack. Known as “Lady al Qaeda,” she is related to 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed. ISIS has tried to trade her release for journalist hostages.
Tarek Mehanna, who in 2012 got 17 years in prison for conspiring to use automatic weapons to murder shoppers in a suburban Boston mall.
Yusuf al-Qaradawi, a mosque trustee and Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood leader banned from the US after issuing a fatwa that called for the killing of US soldiers.
Jamal Badawi, another former trustee who in 2007 was named an unindicted co-conspirator in a plan to funnel more than $12 million to Palestinian suicide bombers.
To top it all off, another regular worshiper at the mosque has been found to be the top propagandist for ISIS.
The FBI suspects that Islamic Society mosque member Ahmad Abousamra, 32, now operates ISIS’s sophisticated media wing to promote their beheadings and other gruesome acts captured on video.
With Abousamra’s help, the propaganda campaign has recruited thousands of Westerners to join the jihadist ranks, including at least 300 Americans:
The FBI says Abousamra, 32, traveled to Pakistan and Yemen to train to kill Americans while enrolled at Boston colleges. He justified murdering civilians because “they paid taxes to support the government and were kufar [nonbelievers],” Boston FBI Agent Andrew Nambu testified in an affidavit.
Another agent, Heidi Williams, says Abousamra, who has a $50,000 bounty on his head, was inspired by the 9/11 attacks and, in fact, “celebrated it.”
A federal indictment states that he plotted to randomly gun down shoppers and emergency responders at a Boston mall. Abousamra abandoned the plan when he couldn’t obtain automatic weapons for the attack, instead moving to Syria to kill U.S. soldiers for “violent jihad.”
While the Islamic Society mosque insists it preaches moderate Islam, head of Boston’s Americans for Peace and Tolerance Charles Jacobs says the mosque has invited pro-jihad speakers and has filled its library with extremist texts, which include writings by Osama bin Laden mentor Syed Qutb.
Abousamra’s father, a doctor who sat on the board of directors of the Muslim organization that runs the mosque, immediately stepped down after the FBI began questioning his son. Now, Dr. Abousamra holds the title of chief of endocrinology at Wayne State University in Detroit.
Is it just coincidence that these jihadists have come from the same mosque’s womb, or will we acknowledge a dangerous pattern with fear of being labeled “Islamophobic?”
