Remember folks: this guy wanted to hook up with al Qaeda in Yemen, and only got arrested because he wanted to shoot up the Natick Mall. This is what the Community Church of Boston calls "social justice".
Totally off-topic, but do you think the Community Church of Boston ever asked Tarek his thoughts on gay marriage?

Rumor has it there are plans at LS to paint a mural of him.
