Two months after the mass murdering acts of jihad terrorism on 9/11/01, Dr. Walid Faitihi, director of “outreach” for the Islamic Society of Boston (ISB), who still serves on the ISB Board of Directors, boasted that this carnage engendered two related “successes”—enhanced Muslim proselytization efforts, and damage to Christian-Jewish relations in the U.S.
Fitaihi crowed, “…the Muslim community in the U.S. in general, and in Boston in particular, has begun to trouble the Zionist lobby.” He continued triumphantly, quoting the Koran (3:112/ 2:61).
The words of the Koran on this matter are true: “They [the Jews] will be
humiliated wherever they are found, unless they are protected under a covenant

transgression.” The great Allah spoke words of truth. Their covenant with
America is the strongest possible in the U.S., but it is weaker than they think,
and one day their covenant with the [American] people will be cut off.
During a private meeting with some 25 lay and religious leaders convened at the Workmen’s Circle in Brookline, Massachusetts on April 6, 2007—nearly 5 ½ years later—Fitaihi was reported to have offered a belated apology for his November 11, 2001 remarks. The dubious sincerity of this putative act of contrition aside—it occurred as the ISB is embroiled in a bitter and debilitating legal dispute with members of the local Jewish community—did Fitaihi actually apologize for invoking Koran 3:112/2:61, and their virulently antisemitic contents?
