The imam of a mosque that is managed by the Muslim Brotherhood-founded Muslim American Society (MAS) was initially invited to speak at Thursday's interfaith service in Boston to honor the Boston Marathon attack's victims, but that invitation was later rescinded by Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick's office, JNS.org has learned.
The Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center's (ISBCC) Imam Suhaib Webb, according to a series of Twitter posts, was replaced as the representative of Boston's Muslim community at the service—whose keynote speaker was President Barack Obama—in favor of Nasser Wedaddy, director of civil rights outreach for the American Islamic Congress and chair of the New England Interfaith Council.
Webb posted on his Twitter account Thursday, "Sorry, Muhammad Wedaddy from the American Islamic Congress will represent Boston Muslims." Asked by another Twitter user who Wedaddy was, Webb wrote, "No idea. I was informed last night at 9pm that he was replacing me? lets focus on the service." Webb later tweeted, "I was told the governor's office made the call."
