The revelation
that Boston-area fugitive Ahmad Abousamra is running the Islamic
State’s (ISIS) sophisticated social media propaganda campaign casts
light on the leadership of a complex of radical mosques in and around
the Greater Boston area. According to information obtained during
litigation discovery and provided by Boston Muslims who asked not to be
identified out of fear for their physical safety, Ahmad Abousamra is
deeply connected to the top Muslim community leaders in Boston.
Ahmad’s father, Abdulbadi Abousamra
(Abousamra Sr.), has served as a president or board member of several
mosques, Islamic schools, and Muslim political organizations in
Massachusetts from the mid-1990s. In fact, he
is still the president of an Islamic elementary school in Sharon, MA.
Abousamra Sr. had used his leadership position in multiple Boston
Islamic institutions to import extremist and terrorist-affiliated imams
into Boston. One of these imams, Hafiz Masood, appears to be the one who radicalized his son, Ahmad Abousamra (Abousamra Jr.).
Until 2007, when Abousamra Jr. was first questioned by the FBI over a plot
to provide assistance to Al Qaeda in Iraq and to massacre shoppers at
the Emerald Square Mall in North Attleboro, MA, his father, Abousamra
Sr., was vice-president of the Boston branch of the Muslim American Society (MAS Boston). According to federal authorities, the Muslim American Society was created to be “the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in America.” MAS Boston operates the largest Islamic center in the Northeast, the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center (ISBCC). The Boston Marathon bombers attended the ISBCC’s sister mosque in Cambridge. Both mosques have a long history of Islamic extremism and terrorism.
In 1994, Abousamra Sr. joined the Islamic
Center of New England (ICNE), another Muslim organization that runs two
mosques in the Boston suburbs of Quincy and Sharon. By 1998, he became
its president. Abousamra Sr.’s passion lay with influencing the
religious education of the Center’s youth. He personally founded two
schools at the ICNE: the Islamic Academy of New England elementary school in 1999 and the Al Noor Academy secondary school in 2001 – the latter with $100,000 in seed money he received from the Islamic Society of Boston. Even though Abousamra Sr. left the country shortly after the FBI put a bounty on his son, he is still the president of the Islamic Academy of New England.
…
Many of the current top leaders
of mosques formerly led by Abousamra Sr. are also leaders in the Free
Tarek Support Committee. Moderate Boston Muslims insist that the
indoctrination that led to Abousamra Jr.’s joining ISIS is still ongoing
at several Massachusetts mosques, and it’s only getting worse. One such
Boston Muslim asked to pass along this warning:
“They have now made it a goal to go after the elementary
schools, high schools, and college students. Parents are losing their
children.”
Thanks “moderates” but it’s a little late for a warning now that
2.5M Muslims have been imported or allowed to enter the U.S. and there
are likely thousands of other Muslims who entered illegally.
