An ISIS Nest Grows in Boston

islamic-society-of-boston-mosque-united-states-07Boston’s WCVB.com reported Monday that “the federal government is targeting Boston and two other American cities to shut down what they are calling the U.S.-Jihad pipeline to ISIS in an attempt to stop Americans from joining the terrorist organization.” Boston apparently made this elite list because Ahmad Abousamra, “an American college graduate from Boston, who has been on the run from the FBI for years, is suspected of joining ISIS and leveraging his computer skills to spread the Iraqi terror group’s propaganda on social media.” And so now Boston is reaping what it has sown for so many years.

The Islamic State has been linked to the Islamic Society of Boston. The Tsarnaev brothers, the Boston Marathon jihad mass murderers, went to mosque at the Islamic Society of Boston. So did other convicted jihad terrorists, Tarek Mehanna and Aafia Siddiqui. During all this, the FBI conducted “outreach” to the Islamic Society of Boston but never investigated it. Now they’re reaping the fruits of their politically correct willful ignorance.

Former Boston Mayor Thomas Menino really, really wanted the Islamic Society of Boston to be well situated in the city. He gave the ISB an astonishing sweetheart deal on the land for the mosque. Menino, according to a 2008 Boston Phoenix exposé, “in a fit of multicultural ecumenicalism, approved the sale of city-owned land to the mosque for the bargain basement — and still controversial — price of $175,000, plus the promise of in-kind services, including upkeep of nearby parks. The predictable uproar that arose in the wake of not only selling land well below market rates, but also selling it to a religious institution in contravention of the supposed separation of church and state, was supposed to be muffled by making the complex available for community use. But oops — that never happened. The promised community facilities for non-congregant use still have not been built.”

Not only that, but although it was “originally intended to minister to an urban congregation of African-American Muslims, the mosque project was turned over by the city, with no fanfare and little notice, to the control of suburban-based Muslims of largely Saudi Arabian heritage: the Islamic Society of Boston (ISB), which more recently became the Muslim American Society of Boston (MAS-Boston). Perhaps the city believed, incorrectly, that one Muslim community could easily step in for another. In fact, the two groups are quite different.”

The Muslim American Society is the principal name under which the Muslim Brotherhood operates in the United States. According to a captured internal Muslim Brotherhood document, the Brotherhood’s “work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and Allah’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.”

So Menino was instrumental in the construction of a Muslim Brotherhood mosque in Boston, which the Tsarnaevs attended. Were it not for Menino and so many others like him all over the country behaving as if Muslim Brotherhood ties were a matter of no consequence, it would perhaps not be so culturally unacceptable in America today to oppose jihad terror.

It has been so unacceptable for so long, however, that the Islamic Society of Boston mosque that the Tsarnaevs attended was never investigated, despite the fact that they were not the only jihad terrorists to frequent it. Aafia Siddiqui, a.k.a. “Lady al-Qaeda,” who was convicted of trying to murder American soldiers and may also have been plotting a jihad terror attack against an American city, was also a member, as was convicted jihad terror plotter Tarek Mehanna and Abousamra. The renowned Muslim Brotherhood sheikh, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who has praised Hitler and called upon Muslims to finish his job of killing Jews, was a trustee of the Islamic Society of Boston and has addressed the mosque congregation during fundraisers. Another imam who has addressed the Boston congregation, Yasir Qadhi, has called for the replacement of the U.S. Constitution with Islamic law and said that the “life and prosperity” of Christians “holds no value in the state of Jihad.”

On June 12, 2013, as the scandal of the Obama Administration’s massive surveillance of law-abiding Americans was breaking, it was revealed that while the National Security Agency was listening to every phone call and reading every email, there was one place where people could be safe from surveillance: inside a mosque. Investor’s Business Daily reported that “the government’s sweeping surveillance of our most private communications excludes the jihad factories where homegrown terrorists are radicalized.

Since October 2011, mosques have been off-limits to FBI agents. No more surveillance or undercover string operations without high-level approval from a special oversight body at the Justice Department dubbed the Sensitive Operations Review Committee.”

This panel “was set up under pressure from Islamist groups who complained about FBI stings at mosques. Just months before the panel’s formation, the Council on American-Islamic Relations teamed up with the ACLU to sue the FBI for allegedly violating the civil rights of Muslims in Los Angeles by hiring an undercover agent to infiltrate and monitor mosques there.”

And specifically: “The FBI never canvassed Boston mosques until four days after the April 15 attacks, and it did not check out the radical Boston mosque where the Muslim bombers worshipped.”

The next day, Representative Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) confronted FBI director Robert Mueller about this, saying:

The FBI never canvassed Boston mosques until four days after the April 15th attacks. If the Russians tell you that someone has been radicalized and you go check and see the mosques that they went to, then you get the articles of incorporation as I have for the group that created the Boston mosque where these Tsarnaevs attended, and you find out the name Alamoudi – which you’ll remember because while you were FBI director, this man who was so helpful to the Clinton administration with so many big things, he gets arrested at Dulles Airport by the FBI and he’s now doing over twenty years for supporting terrorism. This is the guy that started the mosque were your Tsarnaevs were attending, and you didn’t even bother to go check about the mosque? And then when you have the pictures, why did no one go to the mosque and say, “Who are these guys? They may attend here.” Why was that not done, since such a thorough job was done?

Mueller initially disputed this, saying, “Your facts are not altogether well –” In a heated exchange, Gohmert shot back: “Sir, if you’re going to call me a liar, you need to point out specifically where the facts are wrong.”

Mueller responded: “We went to the mosque. Prior to Boston,” he said vehemently. “Prior to Boston happening, we were in that mosque talking to imams several months beforehand as part of our outreach efforts.”

Gohmert then asked: “Were you aware that those mosques were started by Alamoudi?”

“I’ve answered the question, sir,” Mueller replied.

Not satisfied with this, Gohmert pressed: “You didn’t answer the question, were you aware that it was started by Alamoudi.” Mueller then admitted that he had not been.

Meanwhile, Boston refused to run our AFDI pro-freedom ads (we are suing on free speech grounds, of course). In nearby Worcester, Roman Catholic Bishop Robert McManus canceled my scheduled talk on Muslim persecution of Christians because, he said, it would harm the wonderful dialogue that local Catholics were having with Boston-area Muslims. He did this at the behest of a local Muslim leader who openly professed his support for convicted jihadist Mehanna.

And so now Boston is a hub for Islamic State recruitment. How is all that “outreach” working out?

    We can also thank our wonderful Muslim President for his executive order that allowed hundreds of thousands of Muslims into America because they “contribute so much to society”. Yeah right! Hope and change is what he promised. HIS hope to destroy what he perceives is “White Judeo/Christian America” and he’s doing a darn good job at it!

      Formula is perfected Local converts are made to bow to saudis 30 times a day( hitting head on ground ,disturbs the front lobe of the brain). Asked to eat Halal meat ( corrupts the thinking).Made to read only one book full of hate and destruction of society.

    Recall, ISIS flag appeared in New Jersey down the street from the local Sunni Islamic Center where Imam Shaaban Elshazly offers the bizarre lecture Headlessness (in Arabic with English Translation) and this online jihad declaration;

    Defend prophet mohamed, Defend Islam
    (62,804 people have helped this campaign}
    - To defend our religion from violations.
    - To defend our beloved prophet who is the symbol of our religion.
    - To protect our faith against distortion.
    - To show real strength of our nation in our focus and uniting against the enemy.
    - To force anyone to think thousand time before insulting our religion again.

    And then there’s this video of Elshazli Shaaban claiming the local NJ dhimmis’ church for Islam (in Arabic, naturally).

  • DontMessWithAmerica

    In a sane society, the relatives of the victims of the Boston
    bombing would launch a class action suit against the Muslim organization and
    the Federal Government, specifically the FBI, for aiding and abetting the enemy
    leading to loss of life of Americans. A similar suit should be launched
    by the relatives of the victims at Ft. Hood against the U.S. Army which was
    clearly aware of the perpetrator’s antagonism against the entire non-Muslim
    world and a special suit against Obama for outrageously labeling the incident
    as workplace violence.

  • ObamaYoMoma

    It’s really quite simple to understand. All Muslims living here in the USA and, indeed, the world, are jihadists in one form or another, as waging jihad, which is a “holy” war waged by ALL MUSLIMS in the cause of Allah against ALL INFIDELS to ultimately make Islam and its followers supreme throughout the world, is a fundamental “holy” obligation compulsory upon all Muslims in Islamic totalitarian society. Indeed, all non-conformers in Islamic totalitarian society are summarily executed for apostasy, blasphemy, or both according to the dictates of Islam.

    Therefore, all Muslims living in America today are also jihadists in one form or another, as they wage jihad here in America by design non-violently, as waging jihad violently in America would not be feasible because they would simply be quickly defeated and all sent back packing to the Islamic totalitarian hellholes from which they came from, along with their stealth non-violent jihad.

    Indeed, mass Muslim immigration with all of its excess baggage is really stealth non-violent jihad by design. Its long-term strategic purposes and goals are mass Muslim infiltration of our society and eventual demographic conquest.

    Hence, mass Muslim immigration with all of its excess baggage should be banned and reversed ASAP. Especially when you consider the fact that the sole fundamental purpose of mainstream orthodox Islam is the death, conversion, or subjugation of all infidels via both violent and non-violent jihad and the eventual imposition of Sharia, which is draconian Islamic totalitarian law, to ultimately make Islam and its followers supreme throughout the world.

    Therefore, since all Muslims are obligated to always wage war either violently or non-violently against all infidels until Islam and its followers have become supreme, mass Muslim immigration with all of its excess baggage is completely incompatible with infidel society.

    Banning and reversing it would also naturally protect infidel society from the scourge of both violent and non-violent jihad and in fact is common sense.

    The notions that there are so-called moderate Muslims who practice a moderate form of Islam and that there are so-called radical Muslims that practice a radical form of Islam are both political correct myths, as they are both about as political correct and true as the global warming myth. In other words, they are all unhinged political correct myths created by the left.

    • PatnTrucks

      I have been writing continually to my Congressmen and I did get a letter about the concern on immigration, so pressuring them by letter writing – plus writing on comments on politicians websites and having others click LIKE gets their attention.. HOW to ban muslim immigration/aslyum is the question. How do we do it? Besides HARPING at the POLITICOS CONTINUALLY? WHICH IS MY METHODOLOGY. Continually being critical of the murderous intent of the koran helps. Putting it out there in public all the time is really really good.

      • ObamaYoMoma

        HOW to ban muslim immigration/aslyum is the question. How do we do it? Besides HARPING at the POLITICOS CONTINUALLY? WHICH IS MY METHODOLOGY.

        By making it perfectly clear to them that the ideology of Islam is not a religion. Did you know, for instance, that according to the Doctrine of Abrogation in Islam that is universally accepted by the entire Islamic totalitarian world, when two verses of the Koran conflict with each other, the latter issued verse, i.e., the verse issued later on in Muhammad’s career, abrogates, that is supersedes and replaces, the earlier issued verse of the Koran in which it conflicts with.

        Hence, since all the earlier issued peaceful verses of the Koran that once made Islam a religion, according to the Doctrine of Abrogation, have all been abrogated and replaced by the latter issued infamous sword verses of the Koran in which they conflict with and that also commands ALL MUSLIMS to wage jihad in the cause of Allah against ALL INFIDELS until such time as Islam and its followers have been made supreme throughout the world, then it should be obvious that Islam is not a religion at all but instead something else, and that something else is a very draconian form of totalitarianism that seeks world domination.

        Indeed, if all the earlier issued peaceful verses that once made Islam a religion are no longer applicable because they have all been abrogated and replaced by the latter issued sword verses of the Koran which were some of the very last verses issued by Muhammad shortly before his death, then obviously Islam is not a religion and therefore isn’t protected under our first amendment of our constitution or any other amendment, for that matter, and should be outlawed and banned ASAP from America.

        Therefore, since it is very obvious that Islam is not a so-called religion but instead a very draconian form of totalitarianism that seeks to make itself and its followers supreme above all others at the expense of all others, then Islam and mass Muslim immigration with all of its excess baggage should be outlawed, banned, and reversed ASAP because it is incompatible with all infidel societies.

        Make sure that they understand that they will not receive your support or the support of all likeminded people unless and until they act to outlaw Islam and ban and reverse mass Muslim immigration with all of its excess baggage. Indeed, how can we have a debate on immigration reform, but at the same time not talk about mass Muslim immigration with all of its excess baggage that is really stealth non-violent jihad by design?

        We need to make it politically incorrect in this country to celebrate PC multiculturalism and diversity, because they are nothing but wrecking balls designed to destroy this country from within.

        We also need to educate the masses and the fastest way to do it is to shun the writers that fail in that category and to reward the writers that don’t. Indeed, that’s what I do almost every day on FPM: Piss off the writers that fail.

      • ObamaYoMoma

        Apparently it flew right over your head. As no one and especially me is talking about so-called moderate Muslims, as in reality they don’t exists because every Muslim in the world is a jihadists in one form or another. Otherwise they are executed for apostasy, blasphemy, or both according to the dictates of Islam. Since Islam, by far more than anything else, is a very draconian form of totalitarianism that seeks to make itself supreme, as opposed to being just a so-called religion, and as such should it be outlawed and banned from our shores.

    The Jihadists killed 3,000 Americans on 9/11/2001 and this is how we repay them? Sell them property significantly below market value, exempt them from NSA spying, work with jihadis in ‘outreach’ programs, continue calling Islam a religion of peace.

    One wonders, if we have been so good to Muslims after only one 911, how good would we become after a second 911? Maybe we would adopt Sharia Law?

  • WhiteHunter

    The land for the mosque/terrorist-recruiting-and-training center was owned by the City of Boston and “sold” to the moslems by a fellow moslem in the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA) for about ten cents on the dollar. But of course that couldn’t have had anything to do with their common religion, could it? Naw! I’m sure the BRA would have been just as happy to offer the same amazing real estate bargain to the Archdiocese.

    When what can only be called the theft of public land was exposed several years after the fact, Menino–never exactly the brightest bulb in the box, which didn’t hinder him at all from “serving” for more than 20 years as mayor (or more likely it actually helped him)–slobbered that he knew nothing about it.

    Then a news photo surfaced showing him grinning and slobbering with a chrome-plated ceremonial shovel at the groundbreaking–next to a bearded, wofishly grinning imam, and a few other, uh, “dignitaries.” Menino continued to slobber his denials and claims that he “didn’t remember.” Slobberslobberslobber!

    Since the Boston FBI office was on convicted gangster and serial killer Whitey Bulger’s payroll and protected him for years (and former “Special” Agent, now convicted felon Zip Connolly even tipped him off when he was about to be indicted at long last, at which point he, of course, fled and remained a fugitive for more than a decade after that), it’s probably not too surprising that the Feds have never shown much professional interest in the mosque.

    The only question is, are they on the ayatollah’s payroll now, as they once were on Whitey’s? Or maybe, perhaps more likely, they’re merely turning a blind eye to the terrorists among us on orders from Obama and Holder.
