Americans for Peace and Tolerance (APT), a Boston-based interfaith human rights group, released a video today depicting Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick receiving a check on May 22nd from the radical Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center (ISBCC) for $50,000. The proceeds of the ISBCC grant accepted by Governor Patrick would be used to fund “cultural awareness training“ for local law enforcement agencies through the Office of State Attorney General (AG) Martha Coakley. AG Coakley was the failed Democratic candidate in the January, 2010 US Senate special election won by Republican Scott Brown. The ISBCC as we have previously posted has close ties to the Muslim Brotherhood front, the Muslim American Society, exemplified by the extreme views of its Imam Abdullah Faaruuq and board of trustees.
Tim Cahill, Massachusetts State Treasurer and Independent candidate in the November gubernatorial contest criticized Governor Patrick for this action. Cahill, in turn, was promptly criticized by Muslim community leaders of the ISBCC at an interfaith gathering, today. Note this from a New England Cable Network (NECN) report , “Muslim Community Condemns remarks by Tim Cahill”:
Bilal Kaleem, Islamic Society of Boston: "His remarks were anti-democratic, anti-American, divisive and wounding. "
And those remarks were by Tim Cahill, Mass. State Treasurer and Independent candidate for Governor.
An interfaith gathering at Boston's Islamic Cultural Center and mosque Friday condemned him -- and his words.
Kaleem: "They effectively blame the entire Muslim community for not speaking out against terror, and in fact, for harboring terror”.
Tim Cahill: "I'm not bigoted. I'm not racist”.
A school groundbreaking Friday gave Cahill ground to defend himself.
But he's standing by his statement Thursday that Governor Deval Patrick's meeting last weekend with one thousand Muslim leaders was, in Cahill's words, "political correctness run amok."
He accused the governor of "pandering to special interest groups with talk of 'cultural awareness training' for law enforcement.... Governor Patrick should stop playing politics with terrorism," he said.
Depicted in the APT video are convicted terror suspects with close affiliations to the ISBCC and, its leaders. The APT news release notes:
YouTube video shows Governor Patrick embracing the radical leadership of the Muslim American Society (MAS), including an Imam who told followers they must "pick up the gun and the sword" in the context of the arrests of local Islamic extremist Aafia Siddiqui “lady Al Qaeda” and terror suspect Tarek Mehanna.
Watch the APT video: “Who is the Governor of Massachusetts embracing and Why?”
Dr. Charles Jacobs, APT president, said the video highlights Governor Patrick's visit last Saturday to the MAS controversial Saudi-funded Roxbury mega-mosque and cultural center.
Jacobs said, "The Governor's embrace of Imam Faaruuq is especially egregious, given that the Imam recently urged congregants to "pick up the sword and the gun" in the context of supporting local Muslims recently arrested on terror-related charges.
"And it is especially troubling that the office of the MA Attorney General Martha Coakley," Dr. Jacobs continued, "accepted a $50K grant from Imam Faaruuq and the MAS to fund the training of Massachusetts law enforcement agencies, training which will likely be conceived and conducted by radicals." The Governor also agreed to comply with a list of "commitments" that MAS leaders requested of him. "These requests," said Jacobs, "which seek to privilege the Muslim community, may open the way for Sharia finance in Massachusetts, and may also encourage the dissemination of radical Islamic propaganda in state agencies and the public schools."
"We cannot let false accusations of racism and Islamophobia intimidate our leadership into failing to secure our community," Jacobs said, "We are puzzled as to why the Governor embraces the radicals and their agenda instead of reaching out to truly moderate Muslim leaders in the Boston area."
Governor Patrick please consider the concerns of all the citizens of the Commonwealth and:
1. Stop embracing radicals
2. Give back the money
3. Reach out to truly moderate Muslims
4. Don't let political correctness compromise our security.
