For more than a decade, Suleiman Anwar Bengharsa has served as a Muslim cleric in Maryland, working as a prison chaplain and as an imam at mosques in Annapolis and outside Baltimore. He gave a two-week course in 2011 on Islamic teachings on marriage at the Islamic Society of Baltimore, where President Obama made a much-publicized visit this year.
But in the last two years, Imam Bengharsa’s public pronouncements have taken a dark turn. On Facebook, he has openly endorsed the Islamic State, posted gruesome videos showing ISIS fighters beheading and burning alive their enemies and praised terrorist attacks overseas. The “Islamic Jurisprudence Center” website he set up last year has condemned American mosques as un-Islamic and declared that homosexual acts should be punished by death.
That is not all. An affidavit filed in federal court by the F.B.I. says that Imam Bengharsa, 59, supplied $1,300 in June 2015 to a Detroit man who used it to expand his arsenal of firearms and grenades. The man, Sebastian Gregerson, 29, a Muslim convert who sometimes calls himself Abdurrahaman Bin Mikaayl, was arrested in late July and indicted on explosives charges.
Nearly a year ago, in fact, the F.B.I. said in a court filing — accidentally and temporarily made public in an online database — that agents suspected the two men were plotting terrorism. “Based on the totality of the aforementioned information and evidence, there is reason to believe that Bengharsa and Gregerson are engaged in discussions and preparations for some violent act on behalf of” the Islamic State, an agent wrote.
Yet Imam Bengharsa has not been arrested or charged. It appears that the authorities do not have clear evidence that he has broken the law.

Friends of Bill and Islsm. Comey 4 jail.
We need to declare war on Radical Islam then we have to kick out all the radical Imams out of this country within 24 hrs. of the declaration. Period.
Surprising the NY Times ran such an article.
I thought Muslims were only victims of our bigotry.
As far as this guy, he should be in prison ASAP.
How’s that Don’t Watch List working out?
The rants of a servant of the spirit of antichrist.
I don’t want him in prison spreading his filth
I think the CIA needs to take over from the FBI and find some nice deserted island for this guy to land on
The massive Muslim-importation policies of Obama, which will be continued/increased under Clinton, guarantee more and more dangerous garbage like this in our homeland.
Law?
If he supports IS, he should be charged with treason
Bttt
All his assets should be seized and used to pay for the damages of terrorism and the costs of anti-terrorism security. Then he should be deported, penniless to Syria along with his whole family.
What the article describes is a ‘mainstream’ Muslim, not an ‘extremist’ as the headline attempts to paint him.
Given the “known wolves” who have committed acts of terrorism, the FBI needs to change the name of the Terrorism Watch List.
The terrorists-we-have-identified-and-then-leave-alone-to-commit-despicable-acts list seems appropriate.
Many Americans cannot understand why an American President would put Americans in jeopardy by allowing a mass invasion of Muslims will means more Americans will die in terrorist attacks as already seen in the following graph.
But there are many Americans who are implying with their hateful pictures that Hussein Obama himself is a Muslim trojan horse who is actually working to bring Muslim terorists into the US. Let's all agree that there is NO possibility that Hussein was ever a practicing Muslim.
SURE, some Americans will die as Hussein and Hillary flood the US with Muslims. But in the long run, the American death rate will dramatically drop as Americans convert to Islam. When Muslim terrorist confront Americans in malls, theaters, schools ..... those who can quote the Koran will live and those who can't will be killed. In the end, a Muslim America will lead the way to a new peace throughout the world. That is Hussein Obama's vision when he said he wanted to fundamentally change America. Now put down your guns and pick up your Koran. /SARC
If preaching hate and using Sharia Law isn't enough to arrest this cleric, then Congress had better write law that clearly states that Islamic Jurisprudence is not compatible with US Law or our Constitution.....starting with gay lifestyle, Islamic law demands death for that. Social Justice authorities need to be fired.
Fixed it for you.
(You wanna sort Skittles?)
Our only hope is that the next attack from Islam is a shared experience with the elite and treasonous scum excusing it and importing it, knowing the odds keep them safe. Until then, we are fodder.
This is just more proof we must frisk and grope grandma and granpa at the airport. /s
