Mr. Abbassi and his fellow teachers at the mosque had previously claimed that they barely knew Mr. Farook, despite his repeat attendance at the Dar al Uloom al Islamiyyah mosque in San Bernardino.
The mosque is now believed to be a haven for Tablighi Jamaat activists - a fundamentalist, proselytising Islamic sect known in some circles as the "Army of Darkness".
The New York Post reports that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has found repeated phone contact between Mr. Abbassi and Mr. Farook, dating back to a two week period in June - coinciding with the terrorist attack on two military sites in Chattanooga.
Mr. Abbassi – when not dodging difficult questions from Breitbart News journalists – emphasised to reporters during a press conference held just two days after attacks that he only knew Mr. Farook very casually.
He said at the time that he only exchanged pleasantries with Mr. Farook when they both attended the mosque.
"Hello, goodbye, how are you... just casual conversation... nothing more than that," insisted Mr. Abbassi.
But FBI agents are now investigating at least 38 messages that were allegedly exchanged between the pair during a two week span in June 2015.
Mr. Abbassi was unusually hostile with reporters of all stripes when he was quizzed on radical Islam, FBI investigations, and his relationship with Mr. Farook on December 4th. When Breitbart News asked Mr. Abbassi whether he believed in an Islamic Caliphate, he refused to answer on multiple occasions.

38 texts?
That’s a long term relationship in modern hookup culture.
Smug looking little bass turd.
Hey—he dindonuffin or know nuffin. He said so.
He looks like Eugene Levy playing an Imam in a comedy sketch.
“When Breitbart News asked Mr. Abbassi whether he believed in an Islamic Caliphate, he refused to answer on multiple occasions.”
They ALL believe, and hope for, the worldwide Caliphate. That isn’t radical Islam, it’s mainstream Islam.
“...a fundamentalist, proselytising Islamic sect....”
Isn’t this the exact same thing we are facing in ISIS?
Their “proselytising” is pretty much, “If you aren’t one of us, we will kill (or enslave) you!”
Without the threat of death or enslavement, Islam simply does not have that much appeal, aesthetically or morally.
Muslims lie, to protect islam. Taqiyyah
The mosque should be shut down, no questions asked.
Just label it a national security necessity.
Do not play word games back and forth with muslims. They lie anyway.
Just shut it down.
Thirty-eight messages in two weeks? That’s a little more than casual. Unless they just ping-pinged salaam-aleichem-aleichem-salaam. Maybe they were butt buddies?
Yeah. The same sort of casual relationship Bathhouse Barry enjoyed with Bill The Mad Bomber Ayers.
