Video: From Sudbury, Massachusetts to Mumbai: Connecting the Dots
Americans for Peace and Tolerance (APT) have released an 8-minute online video clip describing a network of Islamic radicals operating in New England. The video focuses on the October arrest – and the response to that arrest - of a Sudbury, Massachusetts resident who the FBI charged with planning to machine gun shoppers in a New England mall.
"The arrest of Tarek Mehanna was shocking," said APT President, Charles Jacobs. "It occurred just two weeks before the murder of 13 Americans at Fort Hood by a U.S. military doctor and officer – a child of Palestinian immigrants who had become an Islamic radical. In fact, this was just one of several arrests in 2009 of Islamic radicals who had turned against their adopted country.
Jacobs said "What is especially disheartening, given the historical moderation and success of Boston Muslims, is the current groundswell of support for Tarek within a segment of the Boston Muslim community and its virulent response to his arrest.
Jacobs said "our video offers a glimpse into a loosely-coordinated web of radical Islamic individuals and organizations based in New England with ties to Islamic terrorist groups overseas." Jacobs added, "what we're witnessing is the radicalization of the next generation of American Muslims."
