Boston Jihad Alert: A look back at 2009!

In June 2009, The United West team joined a group of counter-jihad activists led by Charles Jacobs and Frank Gaffney to protest the opening of the Roxbury Mosque. The purpose of the protest was to draw national attention to what we understood was a mosque and Islamic Center that had clear ties to Islamic jihad, whether cultural, financial or possibly kinetic.

In light of the (somewhat predictable) Boston Bombings, the sentencing of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the droning of Ahmad Abousamra and the police killing of Usaama Rahim we integrate this four part series into our “Enemies of the State” to show the exactly why we knew that the Islamic Center of Boston would be a source of intensive jihad activity.
