WEB EXTRA: Imam Masood, former leader of Sharon mosque, indicted on immigration charges



By Lane Lambert
Patriot Ledger

BOSTON - Imam Muhammad Masood of Sharon was indicted and arraigned in federal court this morning on 9 counts of lying on green card applications, and claiming that he illegally re-entered the U.S. in 1993 when he never left the country.

The former spiritual leader of the Islamic Center of New England’s Sharon mosque pleaded not guilty.

The criminal charges carry maximum sentences of 5 to 10 years in prison and fines of $250,000.

The 49-year-old Pakistan native was arrested and released on bail on the criminal charges on July 23. Last November he was detained for visa violations in a multi-state immigration sweep.

Among the criminal charges, the government says the imam claims he illegally returned to the U.S. in 1993 when he never left, that he got Medicaid health benefits and said he didn’t, and that he said he’d never had a student visa, even though he first came to the U.S. that way, to study as Boston University.

Imam Masood’s attorney, William Van Lonkhuyzen, questioned why the government is pursuing a criminal case when the immigration case is already underway.

‘‘I can understand why the (Muslim) community is upset,’’ Van Lonkhuyzen said."

So, for the Muslims out there, are you really on this guy's side?

For the others, what do you think? Religious visas have been suspended as I understand it because one in three was found to be fraudulently issued.

Thoughts?

Answer 1

My question is why in the hell is he out on bail instead of being deported?

Answer 2

I believe Muslims are using politics against us after 6 Muslim men were removed from a plane last fall after being accused of suspicious behavior. They CAN now sue the airline and threatening to sue the passengers who complained — a move some fear could discourage travelers from speaking up when they see something unusual.

"The civil rights lawsuit, filed earlier this month, has so alarmed some lawyers that they are offering to defend the unnamed “John Doe” passengers listed as “possible defendants” free of charge. They say it is vital that the flying public be able to report suspicious behavior without fear of being dragged into court. "

Problem is, these spiritual leaders don't have a country, Muslim people are like pawns in the game of control for the universe.

Answer 3

I'm sure he consulted the Koran and found a passage that he interpreted to mean that it was okay to lie to the "infidels" and collect fraudulent benefits.

That's a real leader alright....

No,

Really.

Answer 4

They are always upset. They want foot baths, prayer rugs, prayer time off work and their taxi drivers don't want booze or dogs in their cabs. I sure get sick of foreigners coming to my country making demands.

Answer 5

if he is a spiritual leader then why dosnt he go and lead in his own country and stop annoying everyone
