Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the older of two brothers suspected in the Boston Marathon blasts, had objected to a sermon at a Cambridge mosque in which the speaker compared the Prophet with civil rights leader Martin Luther King, a mosque official said. Yusufi Vali, executive director of the Islamic Society of Boston, which runs the mosque, said 26-year-old Tsarnaev told the speaker, ‘You are a kafir [an unbeliever],’ and said he was contaminating people's minds and was a hypocrite. Vali said, ‘The congregation then said, 'You are the hypocrite,' and shouted him out of the mosque.’
