Long read but very interesting

Reader comment on item: The Islamic Society of Boston & the Politicians' Red Faces

Submitted by Stas (Ukraine), Jul 31, 2012 at 18:21

This was an interesting story to follow since there appear to be similar issues with mosques in various US cities and less of an issue in Europe, where they crop up everywhere, replacing abandoned churches, etc. It is heartening that there was enough of a pushback and investigations that exposed the radical ties. It is an unfortunate fact that while there continues to be terror attacks around the world every day by people who say they are Muslim and that is why they are killing others, we must look with suspicion on those who might become radicalized in such centers and mosques. There have been too many incidences where this has already happened with terrible consequences.
