السلام على الحسين وعلى علي بن الحسين وعلى أولاد الحسين وعلى أصحاب الحسين

No doubt, terrorist mullahs are liabilities to their communities!

Seyed Mahmood Mousavi^[1] (Arabic: سيّد محمود موسوي) is the president of Hejrat Foundation and Masjid Al-Nabi of West Covina, California (1505 W Garvey Avenue North, West Covina, CA 91790-2138), and, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), "a former interrogator for the Islamic Revolutionary Court in Iran,"^[2] was arrested by Federal authorities on August 31, 2007.

Mousavi ran a pro-Velayat-e Faqih Khomeinist center, which was frequented quite often by none other than Nabi Raza Mir (a.k.a. Nabi Raza Abidi), the Bay Area's extremist mullah. This is not surprising as "birds of a feather flock together." Nabi Raza was at home at Hejrat Foundation and Masjid Al-Nabi. Indeed, one of the Iranian former board members in Mousavi's organization, Dr. Shahriar Heidary, now sits on the board of directors of Shia Association of Bay Area (Saba Mosque of San Jose) per the explicit request of Nabi Raza.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons created the CMU in response to criticism that it had not been adequately monitoring the communications of prisoners. "By concentrating resources in this fashion, it will greatly enhance the agency's capabilities for language translation, content analysis and intelligence sharing," according to the Bureau's summary of the CMU.
