Hat tip to Jim, CBN, and Creeping Sharia
The below video is posted on Creeping Sharia and features terror expert Erick Stakelbeck's report from Boston on CBN. It gives background on the mosque in Cambridge attended by the Brothers Tsarnaev and its direct connection (same owners) to the Islamic Cultural Center of Boston (Roxbury). In the video you will see who founded the mosques and who are affiliated with the mosques. The report also features an interview with Charles Jacobs of Americans for Peace and Tolerance-based in Boston. Jacobs has been featured on Fousesquawk several times for his efforts to alert the Jewish community to the extremist nature of the Boston Islamic Cultural Center. As a result, he has been excoriated by local Jewish leaders who are too invested in inter-faith activities with the center. The video is about 20 minutes long, but worth it.

Assuming that the highly partisan rants from people who start off with an ax to grind are true, these mosques may in a small way pose the same hazards as the Golden Temple in Amritsar did during the period of Sikh separatism in India. It was not necessary to destroy the Sikh religion or its adherents (that was hardly possible with so much of the Indian officer corps being Sikh), but it was necessary to mount a military assault on the Golden Temple because it was in the hands of a clique using its precints to prepare and send out military and terror missions.
ReplyDeleteThis analogy has the weaknesses of any analogy, and the hazards are, permanently I think, at a much lower level, but if you framed your critique in a manner somewhat more like this, with less broadside that somehow "Islam is just like that," you might be more effective. Again, I also take most of the sites you link to with a large grain of salt, but passionate advocates do not ALWAYS get their facts wrong.
