Miss Kelly brings the unexpected news that ICE is doing its job:
"The brother of Hafiz Saeed who was an Imam at Islamic Center of Greater Worcester, Worcester, Massachusetts, USA, Imam Hafiz Muhammad Hamid , along with his family has been deported from the United States of America today and will reach Pakistan early Tuesday morning."
According to my sources, there was a fund raiser on Friday, June 1, 2007 to collect money for Hamid at the ICGW. Hamid came to USA to attend a finance conference at Harvard (thru the Harvard Program for Islamic Finance) in 2000, and he stayed on to become the Imam of Worcester mosque. He has worked closely with the Islamic Society of Boston and ISB Imam Nehela Basyouny. He became a permanent U.S. resident but now he has been deported. Before coming to the USA he was reportedly in charge of the Lashkar e Taiyba (LeT) safe house in Lahore, Pakistan, situated at Moon Chowk (now disbanded)...
More.
As Miss K points out, interestingly enough, Imam Hamid was not one of the "Immigration Imams" arrested some months ago.
