Do you think it's worth it to revoke Habeas Corpus for this war on terror?

 

 

Nobody asked me. They just went and did it.

Did this particular religious institution know more then is being reported?

 

“The Los Angeles Times initially reported that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was kicked out of the mosque three months ago after he interrupted a Friday prayer service to argue with the imam. The imam leading the service had enraged Tsarnaev by praising Martin Luther King Jr. A congregant told the newspaper that Tsarnaev shouted, "You cannot mention this guy because he’s not a Muslim!†When Tamerlan Tsarnaev later returned to prayer services at the mosque, there were no additional incidents.

In an update on Sunday, the Los Angeles Times quoted Kazmi, who said that Tsarnaev was not kicked out after the outburst but that mosque staff spoke to him and he calmed down. "That was the only untoward sort of incident," Kazmi told a reporter.â€

Those of us who have actually hung around the streets of Cambridge, MA know that this community is a hotbed of off center ideologies.

 

But back to this small congregation in this religious institution, did they know more?

Mass. mosque: Bomb suspect had 2 recent outbursts

 

 

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) -- When preachers told congregants at a mosque in November that it was appropriate for Muslims to celebrate U.S. holidays such as the Fourth of July and Thanksgiving, a man who would later be a suspect in last week's the Boston Marathon bombing stood up to argue, the mosque said.

 

The Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center on Monday told about that outburst by Tamerlan Tsarnaev and provided more details on a second one two months later that the group had previously described.

 

The group said in its statement that Tsarnaev, who was pronounced dead on Friday after a shootout with police, was not a member of its Cambridge mosque but sometimes attended Friday services and daily prayers over the last year or so. His younger brother, Dzhokhar, who was captured Friday and charged Monday with conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction, showed up sometimes for prayers, the group said.

 

Two U.S. officials told The Associated Press on Monday that the brothers were motivated by religion but appear not to be tied to any Islamic terrorist groups. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly.

 

Both mosque incidents happened after the older brother returned from a months-long trip to Russia last year. An aunt there said he was studying Islam but struggled to fit in.

 

The troublesome behavior first came in November, just before Thanksgiving, the mosque said. At a weekly prayer, a preacher gave a sermon saying it was appropriate for Muslims to celebrate American holidays. Tamerlan Tsarnaev stood up and argued that "celebration of any holiday was not allowed in the faith."

 

The preacher met with Tsarnaev and discussed the issue after the service.

 

In January, the mosque said Tsarnaev had a similar outburst.

 

This time, the sermon included praise for Martin Luther King Jr., and this time Tsarnaev shouted, calling the preacher a "non-believer" and "hypocrite" who was "contaminating people's minds." Congregants shouted back at him, telling him to leave, and he did.

 

Later, volunteer leaders of the mosque met with him and told him that he would not be welcome at service if he interrupted again. The group said he continued attending sometimes and did not cause any more problems.

This question should be put to the people of the US, directly. Do we want to revoke Habeas Corpus? But there is no provision for the holding of referendums at the federal level in the United States, which the Constitution does not provide for. A constitutional amendment would be required to allow it.
