Solomonia: Siddiqui was 'drawn into the world of terrorism...through the contacts and friendships she made in the early 1990's working for MIT's Muslims Student Association.'

Siddiqui was 'drawn into the world of terrorism...through the contacts and friendships she made in the early 1990's working for MIT's Muslims Student Association.'

Miss Kelly has a good post on the political nature of the Muslim American Society -- the group most responsible for the construction of the Islamic Society of Boston's Roxbury Mosque who claims all rights of a religious group while relentlessly pursuing a political agenda: More 9/11 Readings - MB/MAS/ISB - Aafia Siddiqu.

What's really interesting is that an anonymous commenter who seems to have quite a bit of inside information chimed in with some questions of their own for the ISB's Imam Shiekh Alhaj Basyouny Nehela. They include:

1. Did you participate heavily in the elections (for years) of Islamic Center of New England by taking bus and van loads from Cambridge? (People have pictures and movies of it). 2.When was the last time you held elections in your own Mosque? 3. What was your relation to the Saudis(now gone) who were at Cove apartments in Quincy and for whose children the school was started at the Islamic Center of New England and what financial relationship you had with them? (Their money did not pass thru the accounts of ICNE)...

And this:

8. Is Sister Sophia your wife? Is she the person who holds Halaqa at the ICNE Sharon for Arab only ladies on Monday mornings (has done so for years.... even when Aafia Siddiqui used to come to the Halaqas and at times address them)? Is there any paper, any board decision that such activity takes place at the ICNE Sharon? Why is it not advertised on the ICNE web site?"

(Much more in the entry.) Miss Kelly:

Pointed questions! My favorite kind.

Aafia Siddiqui, that name rings a bell......

Oh yes, this former Boston area scientist (she attended Brandeis and MIT) and mother of three, is on the FBI "Seeking Information" list (she was on their Most Wanted List for some time). Vogue Magazine (of all publications!) wrote about this possible "top Al-Quaeda terrorist" in their March 2005 issue. According to the author, Siddiqui was "drawn into the world of terrorism...through the contacts and friendships she made in the early 1990's working for MIT's Muslims Student Association."

A PDF of the Vogue Magazine article in question is here.
