Former Imam of Mosque Attended By Oklahoma Beheader Apologizes To ISIS Day After Beheading

The article below, from the Daily Caller, claims that it is not known whether Webb and Alton Nolen ever met. The above photograph, posted by Nolen to his Twitter page, shows Alton Nolen in the center, with Suhaib Webb to his right (the left side of the photograph).

Suhaib Webb used to be the Imam of the Oklahoma City Mosque where Nolen worshipped. Webb is now the Imam at the Mosque where the Boston Bombers attended services.

From the Daily Caller:

The former imam of the Oklahoma City mosque attended by beheading suspect Alton Nolen apologized this week to ISIS for previously criticizing the group. 

Suhaib Webb is currently the imam of the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center, which is part of the same entity under the same ownership as the Islamic Society of Boston, where Boston Marathon bombers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev worshipped. 

Webb spoke alongside the late al-Qaida senior operative Anwar al-Awlaki at a Sept. 9, 2001 fundraiser for an Islamic radical who killed two police officers, according to FBI surveillance documents. 

Webb previously served as imam of the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City, where Nolen reportedly worshipped. It is not known whether Webb and Nolen ever met. 

Webb recently returned to the Oklahoma City mosque to deliver two sermons in October 2013, records reveal. Webb previously gave sermons there in November 2011, October 2010 and October 2008. The day after Nolen beheaded a co-worker, and the same day that Webb was publicly linked to Nolen’s mosque, Webb apologized to ISIS in an online column he wrote for the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center entitled “Shame on Me: A Commitment to Discourse Instead of Demonization.”
