A Garden Grove man was arrested Friday morning on federal charges that he provided support to the terrorist organization al-Qaida, according to the FBI.Sinh Vinh Ngo Nguyen, also known as “Hasan Abu Omar Ghannoum,” 24, was taken into custody at a bus station in Santa Ana where he was attempting to board a bus headed for Mexico, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said in a brief statement emailed to news media. 
Nguyen had been named in a two-count indictment returned Friday by a Los Angeles federal grand jury, the FBI stated. 
He was charged with knowingly attempting to provide material support to al-Qaida and making false statements in an application for a passport. 
Nguyen had been “radicalized” and wanted to become a “foot soldier” for al-Qaida, sources told the Los Angeles Times.

If the board of directors allowed a program which resulted in violence ... if the imam and other internal authorities did the same, then these people are personal and financially responsible as well as the mosque.

If there is more than one example, attention should be paid.

Just an investigation by sources prepared to go the entire route, with the court demanding evidence in discovery would send the kind of economic chill through the mosque organizations (ISNA, etc)that ALL would be paying attention, and those who did not would self identify.

Son actual PEOPLE who are looking after the mosque itself, or education of children, or social gatherings, who would suddenly be contemplating loss of ALL personal property, cash, and a future of court ordered garnishment might be thinking very hard about the value of radicalization, and WHERE their personal responsibility actually lay
