BOSTON (RNS) Malika Rushdan was at the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center the morning Mohamed Hassan’s body arrived to be washed before burial, in accordance with Islamic law.

 

Hassan, a Somali immigrant, allegedly belonged to a gang from the Villa Victoria housing development, and was shot and killed in Feb. 19 in a nearby park, some believe by a rival gang member. He was 21.

 

A few weeks earlier, Rushdan, director of relief services for the Boston chapter of the Islamic Circle of North America, started meeting a group of Somali youth who often could be found getting high or drunk on street corners. They were prime prey for gangs, Rushdan worried.

Its mostly the parents fault, its no use bringing kids into these environments and not giving them proper guidance. If they feel their kids are going down hill, they should move away.
