ISIS Suspect Linked to 'Moderate' U.S. Islamist Org., Mosque

Erick Jamal Hendricks is charged with conspiring to develop an ISIS cell and attack U.S. troops. He was the youth coordinator for an ICNA mosque.

Earlier this month, the FBI arrested Erick Jamal Hendricks of Charlotte, N.C. for conspiring to develop an ISIS sleeper cell and attack U.S. troops. He was the youth coordinator for a mosque that belongs to the “moderate” Islamic Circle of North America.

Hendricks is proclaiming his innocence and says he publicly and privately condemned ISIS and Al-Qaeda. He also claims to have been an informant for the FBI and to have assisted the U.S. government in tackling at least six terrorism cases.

The FBI first interacted with Hendricks in 2009 when he was the youth coordinator for the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) Center in Alexandria, Virginia. The mosque says it is a full-time mosque and an ICNA chapter and is led by Imam Yasir Siddig from Sudan. His bio says he was an imam when he was only 15 years old in Sudan and came to the U.S. from 2001 to 2005 and returned again in 2013.

Although ICNA says it condemns ISIS and considers its caliphate to be illegitimate, ICNA is a derivative of the extremist Jamaat-e-Islami organization.
