Mosque of Marathon Bombers Has Jihad Ties; Some of Its Members Investigated for Terrorism

The mosque attended by the two brothers accused in the Boston Marathon bombing has been associated with several other terrorist suspects, has invited radical speakers to a sister mosque in Boston, and is affiliated with a Muslim group that critics say nurses grievances that can lead to extremism, the Jihad Watch website reports today (April 24, 2013).

Several people who attended the Islamic Society of Boston mosque in Cambridge, Massachusetts have been investigated for Islamic terrorism, including a conviction of the mosque's first president, Abdulrahman Alamoudi, in connection with an assassination plot against a Saudi prince.

And its sister mosque in Boston -- known as the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center -- has invited guests who have defended terror suspects. One of its imams, Abdullah Faaruuq, lost his job as the chaplain and religious adviser of the Muslim Society at Northeastern University last year, because a video shows him supporting convicted Muslim terrorists in the United States.

Americans for Peace and Tolerance -- an interfaith group that has investigated the mosques -- says the Cambridge and Boston mosques teach a brand of Islamic thought that encourages grievances against the West, distrust of law enforcement, and opposition to Western forms of government, dress and social values.
