A prominent Islamic leader who was previously arrested in the alleged sexual abuse of an employee now faces additional charges after he was formally indicted.

Mohammed Abdullah Saleem, an imam who founded the Institute of Islamic Education in Elgin, appeared in court Wednesday, where an indictment was read charging him with aggravated criminal sexual abuse, criminal sexual abuse, attempted aggravated criminal sexual abuse, unlawful restraint and aggravated battery. Saleem, 75, had previously been charged with criminal sexual abuse and aggravated battery.

This has been in our community paper for awhile now, which is owned by the Chicago Tribune. This Imam is accused of sexually abusing minors of his Mosque here in our town. Now, I haven't seen any national press (even the Chicago Tribune) cover this story. If this was a Catholic Priest, it would be national front page news and run nightly on the alphabet stations.

I know this is a rhetorical question, but why is the lamestream media ignoring stories like these? I am sure they are all over the place if they are in towns like mine.

It makes me think of all that trouble they have had in Great Britain but I guess that there is more to do with gangs, Muslim gangs.
