Boston mayor appoints director of Muslim Brotherhood-linked mosque head of Office for Immigrant Advancement

Jun 29, 2019 10:55 am By Robert Spencer

“Vali is the executive director of the Islamic Society of Boston (ISB), a mosque that is notorious for its deep connections with the Muslim Brotherhood and several terror plotters. More recently, Vali himself oversaw the creation of ISB’s new project, the Boston Islamic Seminary; several members of the faculty are open anti-Semites, and one (Suheil Laher) was even the head of an al-Qaeda charity.”

But remember: to enunciate the slightest concern about this would be “Islamophobic.” And that is enough to silence virtually all criticism in this age of pandemic cowardice.

“LITWIN: Islamist Influence Can Hack Elections,” by Oren Litwin, Daily Wire, June 24, 2019:

On June 20th, Boston mayor Marty Walsh announced the appointment of Yusufi Vali as the city’s new head of the Office for Immigrant Advancement (OIA). Vali is the executive director of the Islamic Society of Boston (ISB), a mosque that is notorious for its deep connections with the Muslim Brotherhood and several terror plotters. More recently, Vali himself oversaw the creation of ISB’s new project, the Boston Islamic Seminary; several members of the faculty are open anti-Semites, and one (Suheil Laher) was even the head of an al-Qaeda charity.

Ironically, it was the American public’s scrutiny of ISB after 9/11 that led indirectly to Vali’s ascension: ISB responded by building relationships with several community interfaith groups, including the Greater Boston Interfaith Organization (GBIO). Vali worked as a community organizer with GBIO from 2009 to 2012 (when he became executive director of ISB), and that experience laid the groundwork for his deepening relationships with local politicians — which has now brought him to his current position.

Boston’s OIA has much to recommend it for Islamists. It oversees citizenship-application assistance, legal clinics, and classes in civic engagement — all useful resources for Islamists in their work to turn the Muslim community into a potent political force. Moreover, the previous head of the OIA stepped down in December in order to run for a seat on the Boston city council. The position is evidently a steppingstone to electoral office….

    Marty Walsh probably doesn’t know who he appointed since he spends most of his time in a bar.

    • Norger says

      Jun 29, 2019 at 2:22 pm

      I understand Marty Walsh has been sober for 20 years; I respect him for that. I think he’s a fundamentally decent human being with a blind spot for Islam, like so many other liberals.

      The ISB mosque in Boston has had connections to many high profile terrorists, going back the days of 9/11 (and earlier). Over the past decade or so, thirteen very high profile terrorists with connections to this mosque has been imprisoned, killed or are on the run.

      https:https://www.peaceandtolerance.org/the-case-against-the-isb///www.peaceandtolerance.org/the-case-against-the-isb/

      One of the former congregants at the ISB mosque was Aafia Siddiqui an associate of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the 9/11 “mastermind.” Saddiqui was “the most wanted woman in America” in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, She was captured in Afghanistan, in possession chemical weapons materials and is now serving an 86 year federal sentence for seven counts of attempted murder on the US personnel who brought her in. At one point, ISIS demanded her release. Lest anyone think that Ms. Siddiqui’s connection to the ISB was remote or that her beliefs differed from the mainstream teachings at the ISB mosques, here is a video of one the ISB imams in the immediate aftermath of her arrest, lauding Siddiqi’s bravery for attempting to kill US law enforcement personnel and explicitly exhorting young Muslim males to engage in jihad ;”pick up the gun, pick up the sword, get out in the world and do your job.”

      https://www.peaceandtolerance.org/2012/10/24/the-imam-and-the-governor-2/

      Another high profile terrorist with connections to the ISB mosque was Ahmad Albousamri, son of Abdulbani Albousamri, vice-president of ISB’s Boston branch. Needless to say, Albousamri Jr. was a frequent worshipper at the ISB Boston mosque. He fled the US after being questioned by the FBI in a case in which another mosque worshipper, Tarek Mehanna, was convicted and sentenced to prison for providing support to AL Quaeda. (Mehanna is considered by the ISB to have been unjustly convicted). Anyway, after being indicted together with his friend Mehanna, Albousamri Jr. fled the US. He eventually joined ISIS, becoming Chief Editor of ISIS’s “Dabiq” magazine. He is believed to have been killed in Iraq, by Iraqi forces.

      And of course, everyone knows the two Tsarnaev brothers, Tzokar and Tamerlan, the Boston Marathon bombers.

      Marty Walsh is simply another useful idiot. I suspect part of the problem from his standpoint is that the ISB is “mainstream Islam” in Boston, for better or for worse. If Marty Walsh wants to be seen as engaging in any kind of “outreach” to the Muslim community, he has to deal with the ISB; they are a major player if not the only game in town. What’s really disappointing to me is that Boston’s MSM generally gives the ISB a free pass. You certainly won’t won’t see this particular story covered by any of the major Boston papers or cable news.

      How uninformed is the Boston Mayor? I pray there is not a 9/11 type attack in Boston! As history has taught us, Islam invades and demands, and NEVER acclimates!!
      Wasn’t the Boston Marathon bombing their wake up.call?? May the lord protect Boston and its citizens from this insanity !

    We have seen what happens when Muslims become a Potent Political Force, the Once U.S. Congress looks more like a U.N. Council Meeting, Now. Boston is Anxious to forge an Islamic Alliance with Mr.Vali, as their Representative of Immigrant Advancement, but I thought Boston had previously formed that Alliance, with the Marathon Bomber as their Representative. After the Bombing, Muslim IMMIGRANTS arrived in Boston from the Frontiers of the Russian Empire, Surely Marty remembers that!

    You can not make a deal with devils, you always lose. What are the real Christians doing in Boston. Christianity has formed into a something that was not meant to be,IDLE. Everyone knows that idle hands are the Devils playground. Well look what that got you. A group of people who are hell bent on making you their converts, slaves, or non-existent. Christians are not supposed to sit idly buy and let the world go by, they are to spread the Good News.not let the devil in their backyard. Muslims should not be allowed in this country unless they show respect for our laws, not sharia. So you see the dilemma, Islam and the US constitution, like Christians, Jews,or any other religion cannot mix with Islam, because Islam cannot tolerate any other religion but their own.

      Suebe:

      Are you referring to The People’s Republic of Boston(TM Pending)?

      Massachusetts is the worst place in New England for Islamic terrorism to sprout. The Boston Marathon Bombing is just the start. My guess is the MA ivory-tower figures have been Ishnaqing too long.

      :because Islam cannot tolerate any other religion but their own.”

      I wish Trump knew that…last year he hosted a ramadan dinner in the White House, and after, he made a short speech, to the millions of “them” in this country, that everyone needs to see:

    satan has his finger in Boston as he does in so many other places. Every time I see the name of that city, I think of the Tea Party of long ago and of the evil that happened at the marathon only a few years ago.
    As the Steve Wariner song says, “Some Fools Never Learn.”

    Invite them (devotees of islam, satan’s wild beast)… in at your…and those who depend on you for protection…peril.

    The Muslim Brotherhood, along with all of its front groups, need to be totally closed down.

    All Muslim Brotherhood members here in the United States should be arrested and tried for attempting to overthrow the government of the United States.

    Following jail time, any members here illegally need to be deported.

    • joanofark06 says

      Jun 30, 2019 at 3:46 pm

      How right you are, Lincoln! And I was so happy, that finally Trump was going to do something about them, in this country! Looks like it’s been put on the back burner though, as nothing else has been said about them, or done about them. But about another subject that I feel the same way about, and that is, that Trump said he was going to start deportation of millions of muslims. I KNEW that THAT wasn’t going to happen, as much as I wish it was true! Being a former businessman, he sure knows how to talk the talk, and lie, and give hope, and etc. etc…
      But anyway, there are many online news channels that support our government, or are “in bed with them”, so to speak. One of them, you might recognize is the “Council Of Foreign Relations, or “Foreign Affairs dot com” (which CFR publishes), which when I give you this article, you can scroll to the bottom of the page, or the Home page, and read the “About Us”, on what their views are. Here is a little bit of what they write:

      “Since its founding in 1922, Foreign Affairs has been the leading forum for serious discussion of American foreign policy and global affairs.” Foreign Affairs is published by the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), a non-profit and nonpartisan membership organization dedicated to improving the understanding of U.S. foreign policy and international affairs through the free exchange of ideas.

      So, did you notice, that it’s a “leading forum for serious discussion”, and “improving the understanding (blah blah blah), through the free exchange of ideas”
      But there’s NO…COMMENT section! Well, where’s the “serious discussion”, and “free exchange of ideas”??

      Of course, they’ve only got nice things to say about themselves…like sugar and spice and rainbows and unicorns, BUT don’t forget about the man behind the curtain….lol

      But anyway, I wanted to show you how they, or who wrote this article for them, feel about the Muslim Brotherhood. I thought it was nuts! Trying to legitimize this group, almost made me laugh, if it wasn’t so sad. So I wanted you to see what you thought about this (and wonder if Trump read it too!)

    It is apparent that Boston Mayor Marty Walsh has never read the 1991 Muslim Brotherhood Explanatory Memorandum – the general strategic goal for the group in North America. In the unlikely event Walsh actually did read the Explanatory Memorandum and still wanted Muslim Brotherhood Yusufi Vali to lead the Office of Immigrant Advancement, Mayor Walsh is unfit to serve.

    What was the first overseas islamist country, that Trump visited, right after he was elected? Hint..it was the same one that Obummer went to (everyone remember when “dropped his pen” in front of the..king?)
