As Boston Marathon Bombing Trial Continues, Boston Muslim Leaders Upend Obama’s Plan to Counter Violent Extremism in the City – Breitbart, April 8, 2015
by Ilya Feoktistov & Charles Jacobs
Just days before three and a half years of relationship-building between Boston’s Muslim leaders and federal law enforcement were to result in a jointly-agreed-upon framework to be announced at the White House CVE Summit, Yusufi Vali made a surprise announcement. He told U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz that the ISBCC will be boycotting the Summit, denounced Obama’s Countering Violent Extremism program as an Islamophobic attempt by Obama to unfairly target all Muslims, and, in effect, largely scuttled the Boston part of Obama’s CVE initiative. This was reported by only one reporter from the Boston Globe, whose report was predictably slanted toward Vali’s position, and the story never gained traction. Most of America does not know that the Islamic partner in one of the three cities touted as models of cooperation rejected the president’s path.
Vali wrote:
I cannot sign on to this document due to the premise of “Countering Violent Extremism.” […] A far more appropriate premise to the framework acceptable to the Boston-Muslim community would have been “countering violence”. This term does not single out the American-Muslim community. […] It clearly appears that the CVE initiative is exclusively targeting the American-Muslim community. […] My team and I have never personally come across any individual in our congregation seriously considering any fanatical ideology.
Not a single reporter covering the Summit, or the related and concurrent Boston Marathon Bombing trial, informed the public of this stunning contradiction: One the one hand, the Imam of Obama’s favored Muslim institution in Boston publicly rebuked the President’s theory that the “violent extremists” who’ve been chopping off heads, blowing up marathon spectators, and putting hatchets in the heads of NYC police, had nothing to do with Islam. On the other hand, his boss, the man who runs the ISBCC mosque, thinks Obama’s circumlocutions did not go far enough and instead of protecting his community, the President was defaming it.
Obama and his top officials are unlikely to learn anything from this, as they continue to promote a fantasy where Islamic extremism doesn’t exist. Luckily, there are federal officials who are much more hard-nosed. Based on their record of tough terrorism prosecutions of Islamic Society of Boston worshippers Tarek Mehanna and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, we think Department of Justice prosecutors in Boston, including U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz, are among the realists. What lessons should they learn from being betrayed by their ostensible Islamic of Society of Boston partners in countering violent extremism? Here are some suggestions:
- Research the organizations with which you partner. The Islamic Society of Boston is an extremist organization, and the federal government is unlikely to get much assistance in fighting extremism from people who are themselves extremist. The ISB was founded by Abdulrahman Alamoudi, an Al Qaeda supporter who was sentenced to 23 years in prison for plotting with Muammar Qaddafi to assassinate former Saudi King Abdullah. The Muslim American Society, which runs the ISBCC, is considered by federal prosecutors to be an overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in America. Last November, the United Arab Emirates designated the Muslim American Society as a terrorist organization. According to Newsweek, Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev became radicalized after he started attending the Islamic Society of Boston mosque in Cambridge. Yet top federal law enforcement officials seem to be ignorant of these facts. Testifying on Capitol Hill after the Boston Marathon bombing, former FBI Director Robert Mueller admitted to having no idea that ISB Cambridge, the bombers’ mosque, was founded by Alamoudi – a man his own agency had put in prison.
- Islamic extremists lie to hide their true nature. From Arafat to the Ayatollahs, there has always been a difference between what they say to Western audiences and what they say to their own supporters. Hence the 180 degree separation between the Imam of the ISBCC telling a Muslim audience that Muslims cannot ignore the problem of their coreligionists wanting to kill Americans, and the Executive Director of the ISBCC telling the federal government that to acknowledge the problem of Islamic extremism is a sign of Islamophobia. It’s why Yusufi Vali can insist, “My team and I have never personally come across any individual in our congregation seriously considering any fanatical ideology,” while Webb admits that, “in our own community … we looked into some of the people that were affected by this. There was a young brother that came to me and said, ‘I believe that Anwar Awlaki is like revelation from the heavens.’” (Anwar Awlaki was the Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula leader behind the Fort Hood massacre, the underwear bomb plot, and the Paris attacks early this year.) For the same reason, Yusufi Vali told Boston’s NPR station that, “as soon as we learned that these two individuals [the Boston Marathon bombers] had attended the Cambridge mosque … we encouraged any community members who had potentially interacted with them to go to the FBI.” Yet in reality, the ISB sent out an email to its congregants telling them NOT to talk to the FBI without getting lawyered up first because, “we don’t want to put ourselves at risk.”
- Officials seeking to partner with Muslim organizations need to become aware of the important disagreements and distinctions among American Muslims. Suhaib Webb, despite his candid talk about violent Islamic extremism, is himself far from a moderate. He says animosity toward Jews is understandable. He believes that eye contact between the sexes is a sin. He thinks gays are cursed. He has called secularism a “radical, lunatic ideology.” He accuses the Obama administration of being too pro-Israel. Two days before 9/11, he was raising cash for an Islamic extremist cop-killer together with Anwar Awlaki. Yet there is a vast gulf between his willingness to address Islamic extremism and Yusufi Vali’s mendacious attacks on the CVE program.
- There is one more story here that the press has missed. Only two months after Webb warned ISBCC members about their fellow Muslims who want to kill Americans, the wildly popular Imam suddenly announced his resignation and left Boston. Perhaps that is not a coincidence. Unfortunately, it seems that the more actively concerned a Muslim leader is about Islamic extremism, the more he is delegitimized in the Muslim community and the less authentic he’s considered by the Obama administration. Moderate Muslim leaders who oppose the Muslim Brotherhood, such as Zuhdi Jasser of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, were snubbed and excluded from the White House Countering Violent Extremism Summit, even though leaders like Jasser have been the most active in actually fighting violent extremism. The same seems true geopolitically. The Obama State Department actively supported the Muslim Brotherhood government in Egypt while opposing the overthrow of that extremist government by General Abdel Fatah el-Sisi – who has recently called on Islamic nations to reform themselves and stop antagonizing the rest of the world.
Lastly: a note to the good men and women in law enforcement: You need to realize the benefit of just speaking the truth. You work day and night, sometimes risking your lives, while twisting yourselves into logical and rhetorical pretzels to avoid being called Islamophobes. But even if you use the most emasculated and impracticable strategy in dealing with the threat of Islamic extremism, Islamic extremists like Yusufi Vali will call you Islamophobes anyway. You will never counter Islamic extremism by partnering with Islamic extremists – no matter how much you try to appease them. You did not stop the KKK’s reign of terror in the South by partnering with KKK leaders and kowtowing to their sensitivities. You defeated the KKK through an uncompromising challenge to its ideology and to its activities. Now’s the time to revisit that successful strategy.

Moslems who speak out against moslem extremists don’t live long. This creates a society wherein the most violent extremists rule, and the rest just go along and enjoy the spoils. Then, fools in the non-moslem world assure us that Islam is merely defending itself and it’s all our fault. Beware, especially, of moslems who speak of “Islamophobia”. They’ve been consulting with our academics and have been taught to use it like the left in the West use the word “racism”.

It is the same behaviour as Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. Everybody is watching everybody else and informing on them or labelling them unIslamic. Muslims live in terror of being called apostates as at the least they will be ostracised by their community and at worst attacked by its radical members. Only the very strong willed or courageous Muslim will take that risk

Dr Rushdi Cader of the Umma Clinic links to Suhaib Webb of the Boston Islamic society. the Umma Clinic which is run by DrM a popular Loon Watch member. Loon Watch claim to fight hate and ‘islamophobia’ but their veteran member DrM of drmaxtor.blogspot.com is notorious anti west, anti hindu anti-semite. Evidence of Dr Maxtor excusing Jihadism and promoting anti-semitism, anti-western, anti-hinduism all the while blaming Zionism for all the ills in Islamic societies https://disqus.com/by/1DrM
DrM AKA DrMaxtor real name is Dr Rushdi Cader https://www.linkedin.com/pub/rushdi-cader/6a/a23/175
and he hides his real persona because he wouldn’t be able
to teach law enforcement officers http://www.swattrauma.com/PRACTI-SEAL/About_Us.html
If his bosses knew he was a hate preacher he would be
fired. He was deported from Israel where he had gone to make trouble under the
guise of offering medical services http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2002/588/re5.htm
Dr Rushdie Cader AKA Dr Maxtor AKA DrM is the founder of the Umma Clinic in California. http://www.ummaclinic.org which receives public funds. He is a UCLA graduate and he
founded this Muslim
clinic http://drmaxtor.blogspot.com/2006/10/ummah-community-clinic.html.
Wikipedia page for Umma Clinic
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMMA_Community_Clinic
He is a Muslim activist well known amongst American
Muslims but he is careful to hide his hatred of the West
under his real
identity preferring to spew his bile anonymously as DrM
at his own blog
drmaxtor.blogspot.com Since 2007 DrM has been a heavy
contributor to Loon
Watch. This suggests that whomever owns Loon Watch
(assuming it is not DrM)
values him. Since joining Loon Watch DrM has not updated his own blog. He now
posts regularly at Loon Watch. You can see his commenting history at Loon Watch
by doing a simple google search or by looking at his posting history on Disqus https://disqus.com/by/1DrM/. DrM does not reveal his real life identity at Loon Watch or at his blog where he claims to write about medical issues and ‘muslim’ issues.
Dr Rushdie featured in Saudi media https://www.saudiaramcoworld.com/issue/200703/healing.south.central.htm
Umma Clinic Twitter account where he is careful not to show his true colours like he does at Loon Watch https://twitter.com/ummaclinic Facebook – UMMA Community Clinic https://www.facebook.com/pages/UMMA-Community-Clinic/155816815511
DrM has been cited approvingly at many anti-semitic sites including Stormfront:

These stealth tactics are used by American Muslims like
DrM who are a fifth column.

True. There are examples of architecture from the Arab world that are truly beautiful, despite the ugliness of the ideology. This however looks like a hastily remodeled storefront.

To truly understand the Muslim mindset, I recommend Ayyan Hirsi Ali’s new book.
She explains in detail WHY Islam needs to be reformed. I’m half way through it now and so far, can’t see why or how that will happen……
For those interested, here’s the Amazon.com Link:

We all know why Islam can’t possibly be reformed. Reform amounts to hypocrisy in Islam and is punishable by death.
I really admire Hirsi Ali and have enjoyed reading her books. Unfortunately she is still a bit of a lefty to believe reform is possible. Islam can not be reformed; it must be defeated.

Exactly, FFS isslam has been around for 14 centuries, if it hasn’t been reformed by now who in their right mind thinks it’ll ever be reformed? Has anyone given a thought to just exactly how one would go about reforming Nazism? Oops, I meant isslam.

Richard, I agree with you entirely about Islam and reform.

Whatever happened to the law enforcement investigation into the triple homicide of three Jewish men in Boston (some of whom knew the Tsaranev brothers)? Or maybe it’s been deemed a suicide?

The Islamic Society of Boston (Cambridge) and the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center (Boston) are two different organizations. You seem to be mixing them up.
