Islamic Center of New England
The Islamic Center of New England, Arabic: المركز الاسلامي بنيو انجلند; is an Islamic organization incorporated in the state of Massachusetts in the early 1960s. It grew out of "the long-range dream of seven Lebanese Muslim families who immigrated in the 1900s from different regions of Lebanon to Quincy," Massachusetts. In 1934 Muslim families in Quincy formed "a social club and charitable organization... with other Arabic-speaking Muslims in Boston, Sunni and Shi'i."
During the 1950's the Quincy group decided to build a mosque, both to help their community fit into American patterns of religion "in the same way a church symbolized the Christian community in America," and to provide a place to socialize, pray together, and educate their children in Muslim religion and practices. The primary function of ICNE is to oversee the operation of the two mosques it owns, located in Quincy and Sharon, Massachusetts. ICNE has about 3,000 members, many from various nations, and including Sunnis, Shia, hard-liners and liberals.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Moderate imam reveals how radicals won battle for soul of Boston mosques )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Pakistani brothers reflect their country's contradictions )〕
== Leadership controversy ==
A former board director (1982-2005) and imam, Talal Eid, says that in 2005 the ICNE board forced him from his leadership position because of his moderate Islamic teachings. Some news reports accuse several board members who forced him out of having connections to radical Islamists, including then board president Dr. Abdul-badi Abousamra, a prominent endocrinologist at Massachusetts General Hospital who was also vice president of the Muslim American Society of Boston, which ran the Islamic Society of Boston, a Cambridge mosque. The ICNE responded that it was an employment disagreement and that their "teachings fully respect the rule of American law and the sanctity of human life, and we have always unequivocally condemned all acts of terrorism"〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Muslim Imam Reveals a Terrifying Secret About Mosques in One of America's Largest Cities )〕
Eid's replacement was Imam Hafiz Masood, an assistant imam who "had been forced on him in 1998 by Abousamra and who was known for fiery sermons easily interpreted as promoting violence."〔 The non-profit organization Americans for Peace and Tolerance claims many of Masood's supporters remain in leadership roles in the Boston Muslim community, and some news reports claim that these radical doctrines at ICNE (and another mosque run by the Islamic Society of Boston) had a motivating influence on several well known local jihadists, including several below.〔 However, Eid later clarified that although "he believed the city’s mosques should operate more democratically... he said the ideological tensions had no relationship to violence. 'Muslims all over are very good people, working hard, living their lives,' he said. 'In Boston, when you talk about terrorists, you can count them on the fingers of one hand. It’s not even one in 10,000.'"
