Prison chaplain suspended for accusing White House of terrorism

The head chaplain for the New York’s jails has been suspended while the city investigates incendiary statements he allegedly made last year, including a comment that the “greatest terrorists in the world occupy the White House".

The New York Post reported the remarks were captured on an audiotape last April by the Investigative Project, a counterterrorism group, as the chaplain, Umar Abdul-Jalil, addressed a conference sponsored by the Muslim Students Association in Tucson, Arizona.
