Update September 9, 2014
[From article]
The executive director of the Islamic Society of Boston is denying media reports that a Stoughton man suspected of helping to run social media for ISIS worshipped at the society’s Cambridge mosque.
“To our knowledge Ahmad Abousamra never came to our mosque and has absolutely no connection,” Yusufi Vali, the executive director of the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center, told the Herald yesterday.
[. . .]
Some media outlets, including the New York Post and CNN, reported yesterday that Abousamra had worshipped at the same Cambridge mosque as other extremists, including accused Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev; Abdurahman Alamoudi — the mosque’s founder — who was sentenced for conspiring with Libya and plotting to assassinate a Saudi prince; Aafia Siddiqui, now in prison for planning a chemical weapons attack in New York; and Tarek Mehanna, who’s serving time for conspiring to shoot up a mall with automatic weapons.
In a statement, the Islamic Society called the Post report “a sensationalist article about our mosque full of many half-truths and inaccuracies” and claimed it was never contacted for comment. But it admitted others did attend.
“As far as we know, some of the people mentioned by the NYPost may have prayed at the Cambridge mosque at one time or another, just as they most likely shopped at grocery stores in Central Square, bought coffee from the nearby Dunkin’ Donuts and withdrew and deposited funds at local banks, activities they surely engaged in many more times than they prayed at the mosque,” the statement reads.
It also said the mosque doesn’t exclude anyone and doesn’t check IDs, and it “unequivocally condemns ISIS.”

Image of Mosque on Prospect Street, in Cambridge MA, a few blocks from City Hall. The suspect in the Boston marathon bombing also attended this mosque. No one in Cambridge was watching, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the young man killed in a shootout with Massachusetts police in nearby Watertown MA. No police, no FBI, no crime family associates, no Harvard University campus police or their building superintendents. The priorities for those organizations is to focus on a 70-year-old white male citizen who was used by the FBI to fight organized crime for 15 years. They did not pay him. That was after government psychiatrists drugged him for 80 consecutive days contrary to law. He was not under the care of any psychiatrist, or psychologist. There was no court order to permit such poisoning as per the state criminal statute. He never volunteered for any medical research project as a human subject. During subsequent years the FBI coordinated a relentless character assassination campaign, harassment and 24/7 surveillance, which continues today. None of the individuals mentioned in the below article were subjected too any intense criminal abuses of power, even with their links too terror groups. It explains why there is widespread dissatisfaction with politicians and journalists. It also raises questions about the lack of questions for local and state officials who waste taxpayer funds harassing harmless citizens.

When it was revealed that the Boston Marathon bombers attended a Cambridge, Mass., mosque, its leaders were quick to disavow their actions.
Elder brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev
So, one crackpot in a congregation. Who can blame the mosque?
But what about eight — including a prominent member of ISIS?
[. . .]
Now it can be revealed that another regular worshipper at the Islamic Society mosque was Ahmad Abousamra, who is now the top propagandist for ISIS.
[. . .]
The FBI says Abousamra, 32, traveled to Pakistan and Yemen to train to kill Americans while enrolled at Boston colleges. He justified murdering civilians because “they paid taxes to support the government and were kufar [nonbelievers],”
