Terrorism planning in U.S. mosques

Undercover agent in Iran’s Revolutionary Guard reveals

mosques in the U.S. used for terrorism









This week’s edition of “Stakelbeck on Terror” gives us a glimpse into the world of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. In an interview with a CIA operative who worked undercover within the Guard, we learn how Islamists are using mosques in the U.S. to advance terrorism and jihad.









Video of the interview is available here. A transcript of the segment about mosques in the U.S. is available below, and can be seen at the 24:57 timing mark on the video.








Members of the media often ask us at ACT! for America why there is growing concern about mosques in the United States. The reason is simple: Americans are waking up to the realization that jihadist ideology and planning is being promoted in many American mosques.

Khalili: Mosques are supposed to be a place for prayer. A place for submission to God. But they are used as a recruitment center, for backdoor meetings, transfer of arms and cash and putting together terrorist activities and I was involved in some of their meetings.



E.S: You made a key point, that Iran used mosques and Islamic cultural centers in the West to further its agenda...could you get a little bit more specific about that? How does Iran uses mosques here in the U.S. and in Europe to plot terrorism?



Khalili: I can tell you from experience: I was part of the operation, I was involved in the Islamic community, and I can tell you clearly that out of mosques, there was a big effort with the Afghan communities by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards members--and with Pakistanis, Turks and others. And they would recruit from them, they would transfer cash and arms. And mosques provided a safe haven, and actually, in my view, were one of the centers of the operation. So if an intelligence agency such as the CIA infiltrates a mosque and understands that there is a specific Guards member who runs it, then actually they could be very successful in drawing a chart of all the terrorist activities in that specific region. That's how central the mosque operation was.



E.S.: And that's in Europe--you were involved in some of these operations in Europe. How about the U.S.?



Khalili: It's absolutely the same. They recruit, they train, they sell the ideology of martyrdom, and many, many are guided and connected to terrorist groups. And you've seen this: many U.S. born citizens, Muslims, unfortunately, have been sold this idea and are sent to Al Qaeda camps or others. But the Iranians are very active in this country through the mosques and Islamic cultural centers to make those connections and run those operations.
