Media downplay Tsarnaev connection to Muslim student group
The Daily Caller ^ | May 3, 2013 | Daily Caller

Coverage of the Boston Marathon bombing has ignored admitted bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s connection to his college’s Muslim Student Association, a group that has close relations with both the Muslim Brotherhood and a local imam friendly with an al-Qaida operative.

Although a student leader and the mainstream media have downplayed Tsarnaev’s ties to the the group, Tsarnaev associated frequently with the Muslim Student Association (MSA) at University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth.

The Washington Post on April 27 reported that Tsarnaev, who has admitted his role in the Marathon terrorist bombing to police, played intramural soccer with MSA members, contradicting earlier reports that the U. Mass-Dartmouth student spurned an invitation to join the controversial Muslim Brotherhood-linked student organization.

“For a time, Jahar played on an intramural soccer team composed of students involved with the campus Muslim Student Association,” explained the Post’s Marc Fisher, a fact that has since been missing from coverage.

In fact, Tsarnaev played soccer with the Muslim Student Association nearly every week, according to MSA Secretary Bassel Nasri in an interview with George Stephanopoulos and Diane Sawyer on April 19, 2013. Nasri simply neglected to say they were MSA games. Although Stephanopoulos described Nasri as “a soccer buddy” of Tsarnaev, neither he nor Sawyer mentioned that they were co-religionists and that the soccer games were organized by the Muslim Student Association.

MSA is pretty common among universities here in the US. In fact, I believe they were why Eastern Michigan University and UM-Dearborn had to install footbaths in primary student meeting areas. http://www.standupamericanow.org/articles/2012/02/the-rise-of-sharia-special-muslim-privileges-are-unconstitutional

Another tidbit to add to the details:

Phillipos mother is an ‘Ethiopian national.’

I remember after 9/11 many believed that every single MSA should be investigated.....I agreed and still do.

And all Muslim chamber of commences and political action committees. You wouldn’t believe how many of these type organizations I’ve linked to terrorism in just the past 5 years alone...

...”For crying out loud....STOP immigration!”.....

How?.... Nobody in Government ‘wants’ to stop it...and those responsible for doing the job, that prevents this onslaught, aren’t doing so.

Nobody is willing to stand against the illegals ....there are ttoo many here.....it would surely be “war” within every state.... as we see in the streets when any move is made to just control it... they march in the thousands to show they are a force not to be reckoned with..
