Mohammad Youssuf Abdulazeez Attended Islamic Society of Greater Chattanooga

At Jihad Watch, "Chattanooga jihad murderer attended Islamic Society of Greater Chattanooga":
Said Dr. Azhar S. Sheikh, a founding member of the center’s board: “We certainly do not want to be part of that demented ideology. That is not the message we preach here. What people do on the Internet or the World Wide Web or in their own homes, we can’t control that.”

But why did the message that was taught there give way so readily to the “twisted” and “hijacked” version of Islam that Abdulazeez supposedly picked up on the Internet? If the message of the Qur’an is peaceful and Islam is peaceful, as we’re constantly told, and if the Islamic Society of Greater Chattanooga taught Abdulazeez peaceful Islam, why didn’t he reject out of hand the “perversion” of Islam that violent jihadis supposedly proffer?

This mosque needs to be investigated. But it probably won’t be.
