Boston: Mosque on hold

Charles Jacobs of the David Project writes in to the Boston Globe with some disturbing information about the Islamic Society of Boston's associations.

THE STORY on the lawsuit filed against us by the Islamic Society of Boston (''Praised by beacon, mosque project stalls amid rancor," Page A1, Dec. 18) did mention that the society's founder, Abdurahman Alamoudi, raised money for Al Qaeda and is in jail (in connection with a plot to assassinate a Saudi prince). But the story omitted even more worrisome facts.

The society's leaders have praised suicide bombers and called for attacks on Americans. A website in Qatar associated with society trustee Yousef al-Qaradawi, an internationally known leader of extremists, calls for gays to be executed by either stoning or burning. Al-Qaradawi has been barred from the United States. The society website praises as ''very good" a book that refers to the women's liberation movement as a ''Jewish plot" to corrupt society and argues that wife-beating is at times necessary. The library of the society's current Cambridge mosque contains literature containing vitriol directed against Christians, Jews, and Americans. While mosque spokesmen speak of ''dialogue" and tolerance, Qaradawi says ''there is no dialogue between us [and the Jews] except by the sword and the rifle.' "

As citizens, we were concerned. We wanted the society to answer simple questions, questions that it took pains to avoid answering. As a result, we have been sued by the society and forced to spend tens of thousands of dollars to defend ourselves. This is not a case about Boston bigots with discriminatory suspicions. It is a case of citizens rightfully worried that their city might be importing -- and subsidizing -- hatred and misogyny with links to terror.

Great info here from Daniel Pipes on this Boston Mosque. Scroll all the way down his page for the most recent news on this abomination

http://www.danielpipes.org/blog/115

Dec. 18, 2005 update: The Boston Globe reports today that accusations that ISB officials sympathize with Islamic extremists has caused donations to slow "to a trickle." Further, it cannot get access to loans. This has lead to the indefinite postponement of the mosque's opening:

The original completion date for the mosque was November 2004. The project has faced so many delays since then that mosque officials are reluctant to set a new completion date. With each month of delay, construction costs have risen, swelling the budget for the project from an original estimate of $22 million to around $24.5 million, and putting the new mosque's first day of prayers further from reach.

l am appalled that the city of Boston have cowardly endorsed this project! keep up the lawyers and siphon off their money for that mosque!

With each month of delay, construction costs have risen, swelling the budget for the project from an original estimate of $22 million to around $24.5 million, and putting the new mosque's first day of prayers further from reach.

Wait and see if the Saudis, or their proxy, don't come up with an equivalent 'donation'.

The ISB probably thought they were untouchable; if they keep up the litigation, they'll be lucky to have a double-wide trailer for a mosque. They'll have to take the wheels off after they point it at Mecca.

I have to wonder why the society's founder, Abdurahman Alamoudi, and his co-horts are not facing RICO charges???????

The accusations run rampant with tie's to a lot of organizations.

One would think that a whole lot of people have been arrested in regards to this??????

I know this is serious business and there should be no room for cracking wise, but I just can't help myself.

The Boston jurisdiction judicial wise men, and some congressional representatives from that commonwealth, upon learning of the society's leader's preferred fate for homosexuals, must've experienced the type of ambiguity one stand-up comic described as "like watching my mother-in-law drive over a cliff in my new Alpha Romeo."

MerryWhitney,
Please resist the temptation to resist the
temptation to crack jokes. If we lose, humor
will be the first casualty. Music will be the
second.

That was a pretty funny joke, kind of
generic, so I can't pin down the comic. Any
ideas?

I'm usually surprised, because people who are
ordinarily gay friendly and think that someone
who opposes marriage for gays (but may even
support an alternate domestic partner status) is
looked on as a nazi, but mohammadans are
considered as persecuted saints. I guess logical
consistency is not valued these days.

I found it interesting, that all the time the dialogue and the accusations were fliying around, construction continued and the building will be ready for the practise of the islamic faith in staid old Boston. As far as the overruns are concerned, do you think that now this goal is within reach they will let a mere 2.5 million stabd in the way of the opening? When it comes to planning and deciet, we have been outmatched. If on the other hand we can remain honest and upfront in our dealings with them we will be the winners in the end. The only and strongest hope I have is my faith in the fact that GOD is in charge, and whatever we must go through to serve HIM will be to our joy and peace. If we read Revelations and the prophets we will know what we must endure in order for the kingdom of GOD reach its destiny. Let us remain strong, let us oppose and stand up to these false religiouse moves and reveal them for what they are. GOD Bless.

Internment:
Don't think it can happen here? I guarantee you that once suicide bombers start blowing themselves up on the streets of US cities; Americans will not have the tolerance of Isreal.

In Lodi, California many of the Mosque members knew of the terrorist plans of the members that were arrested. They failed to act in a timely basis, but luckily the plot was foiled. When radical mosque members start blowing up US elementary schools, buses, and buildings; with the tacit compliance of the US Islamic community and mosques, PC thought will be a distant memory of the past for the vast majority of Americans.

If you are a follower of Islam and there are radical cells in your Mosque, then I suggest that it may be in your long term interest to police your community, least you wake up one day to a 1940's reality. It may be called secured state provided housing, but it will add up to nothing more than internment.

WE keep getting told by our leaders that Islam is a religion of peace....hmmm.... I cannot understand why if it is a peaceful religion, that the thousands of clerics who teach death and distruction for the infidels, are not kicked out of the Muslim religion and of course as the Muslims way, a fatwa put on him for teaching such horrors, instead we see that they are not kicked out and are kept there to teach their hatred or they are shifted somewhere else... these poor people seem to think that even the ants in the ground are against them....

I would like people to tell me if they have heard what I have heard that, Muslims mainly build mosques beside main roads, (and there is a reason for that), and that many mosques have weapons etc under them,, I would like clarification on this one... and am I right in telling people to read the last three quarters of the Quran to see the horrors written there against the infidel,,, I have only read bits and peices...

Charles Jacobs of the David Project has been sued. It appears that this is becoming an ever increasing type of attack from Muslims. They plan to kill us and when we hunt for the answers they sue us. Two pastors in Victoria, Australia, had the same thing done of them, just for preaching the differences between Islam and Christianity, and some of the people laughed... they plan to kill us and we do nothing, we laugh and they sue us...
As this is one of their terror tactics, and the law is on the side of the criminal now,, suing is going to increase, to try to weaken the infidel, (Mohammad said that they terrorise to weaken the people), we should be giving money to the likes of wonderful people like Charles Jacobs so as he can recoup some of their financial losses, especially as he has been trying to save our country and beliefs, and besides, if we don't back people like him, people wont do what is necessary to stop this onslaught for fear of being sued and not being able to afford to fight.. we must stand together, Muslims have the backing, and their clerics who spew out this hate, are not removed, so although they tell the infidel, pagan and Christians that they are going to stop this hell against us that it is un-Islamic, nothing is done,, of course we don't even have to wonder why they do nothing we just need to look at the Quran to know why .... They tell us lies, because they still need more time for immigration and multiplication to give them the bigger numbers to entrench themselves in our societies, so by telling us that they will stop the hate preaching, they are only gaining the time needed to gather a bigger and bigger foot hold for "when the time is right and they are called"...
Just imagine that within 20 years the very, very large families that they are having in the western societies, to each wife now, plus with more immigration, will give them a massive force in our western societies, as seen in France and Britain...

Speaking of those Australian pastors, this is interesting (although more suitable for a dhimmiwatch thread):

Muslim bigots impose blasphemy laws on Victoria

"As a member of the Liberal Party I am outraged that Robert Doyle has supported Bracks’ anti-free speech laws. There are those of us in the Party who are sick of his moral cowardice and his lack of principles. We are also sick of Michael Kroger’s political string-pulling. Thanks to this power mad Brahmin the Party has been lumbered with the likes of Boyle, Sheezel and Helen Kroger.

Rumour has it that Kroger’s number is up. In the meantime the Party’s real liberals, liberal in the classical sense of the word, need to take a stand. Now Brookes has never bothered with religious matters, but when a bunch of theocrats, irrespective of their religion, succeed in limiting our freedoms then it is time to act.

It genuinely grieves me to have to do this because the Muslims I have known and worked with have always been decent to me and never raised the question of religious beliefs. But Bracks’ vile laws and the totalitarian behaviour of EOC and VCAT officials have left me with no alternative. So here goes:

The Koran is crap and Mohammed was a child-molestering, thieving, lying, murderous sadistic misogynist who couldn’t even spell his own name. How anyone with half a brain could be taken in by this loathsome thug beats me.

Now the law is the law, Bracks: So prosecute me."

Caroline, thankyou for you comment in,,,, they are intimidating potential critics of Islam into remaining silent.
Are these people closet Muslims, or recieving money from Muslim... perhaps it is time that someone taught them (if that is possible) what Islam is all about before it is to late.. dont they have enough brains to see what is going on in the rest of the world. I can only come to one conclusion,, that they are recieving a mass of money to sell Australia out. I think this is something that has to be investigated. It is about time we started paying to put ads in the paper, showing the Quranic verses of hate, slaughter the pagans, infidels, and what Mohammad said himself etc... I would be in on putting money into thes cause, and surely the media couldnt refuse as we are letting the people know what is in their own Quran,, so we are the good guys... but instead having the Tribunal’s commissars ordered the pastors to submit to a form of re-education, we would have the tribunal's commissaries ordered to be re-educated, as to exactly what the Quran says.. and perhaps while we are there we can educate them of the real other dangers of other things... I am sick of the lies from the media, left, and the unions, who want us under a communistic rule, which Islam fits into very well. Perhaps we should drop these guys without any money, in the middle of a Muslim country for a while and if they make it back to Australia alive they can then tell us of their values..

Gaye - I truly feel your frustration at this madness. And so it must be up to each of us - 4 billion of us non-Muslims if possible, to do precisely what Gerard Jackson does in his article above - tell the truth and blaspheme Muhammad - the lynchpin upon which all this madness turns. Many have correctly pointed out that this particular conflict is in some ways unique in history, in the sense that every ordinary person has the opportunity for heroism, however small. I wish people would understand the truth of that. And the more of us ordinary people who speak out, even if its behind the cover of anonymous internet monikers, the more cover we provide for the truly heroic, like Mr Spencer, and the Australian pastors and Gerard Jackson, and Charles Jacobs, (and Hirsi Ali and Theo van Gogh and so many other really and truly brave people) who go out into the public with their real names and dare to speak the truth. After all, they can't literally go after millions and millions of people all saying the same thing! This is really a case of "strength in numbers". Just keep talking Gaye - I truly believe that in doing that you are doing more than you may know. :-)

American,

Thanks, I will "resist the temptation to resist the temptation..." And, you called it on "Music will be (next)." During the liberation of Afghanistan, the freedom to again listen to music even extended to Afghans getting canaries so they could hear the birds singing once more. Daniel Pipes has an excellent piece on Iran and music prohibitions. (www.danielpipes.org)

Gaye: On lawsuits, the would-be Brooklyn Bridge bomber is reportedly seeking an attorney to file suit against the Bush Administration for invasion of his privacy rights with the NSA electronic surveillance which caught his communications with al Queda and prevented his terrorist attack. How's that for gall?

Andrew Whitehead of ACAIR (Anti-CAIR) has been repeatedly targeted for "defamation" lawsuits by CAIR, as well as Daniel Pipes. Both Whitehead and Pipes have prevailed so far, but you're right. It takes time and resources to defend against even the most ludicrous complaints.

Caroline: Kudos! And ditto! You took the words right out of my mouth. Couldn't have said it better, but it's been my sentiment since looking into the historical Muhammad.

GrimReaperxxx
I agree with you 100%. The Muslims in this country better think twice if they think that they are immune from "internment camps" or "persecution" if the Islamofascists start blowing up people in America and they do nothing to marshall their own. I can guarantee that we will act swiftly and forcefully and it will not be pretty for the Muslims. Period.
All the Muslims have to do is observe a little about what America has already done in Afghanistan and Iraq as well as our past history of warfare. The Japanese Admiral Yamamoto was reported to have said "we awakened a sleeping giant" when Pearl Harbor was attacked. Yamamoto was right and the Muslims best understand that. After 9-11 I don't know why America is still trying to appease the Muslims but I really believe that this kind of appeasement is about to end as more and more of the American people are not buying into the crap that Islam is a religion of peace. The movement in America to stop the aggression of Islam is underway. I personally would not want to be a Muslim living in America, or, for that matter, any where. It's fairly easy to see that if the Muslims don't change their doctrine of hate and death their future is bleak.

Thankyou guys for your encouragement, I feel sometimes that I am hitting my head against a brick wall, and often feel so alone in this fight as I have no one to share it with. Even though my friends think I am wonderful in doing it most people don't want to know.. but we have children and grandchildren who are growing up to what????...
I send emails to politicians, both of the right and left, but I supose the secretary gets it and deletes it, I also send much of what I get to so many newspapers in different countries... would love a few more newspapers email addresses...
For a while there, each day I was sending four different verses from the Quran on what Muslims did and are to do to the infidel, verses on their hate, torture, raids, taking of booty/slaves, slaughter etc to a couple of talk backs shows,, and will again next year, don't know if it made any difference but, I can only try...
ivehadenuff, the Muslims are immune, the do gooders, the left, the law and the media have made them immune throughout the world... and ivehadenuff, they will not do anything until they are assured of a win, and that will only be after their numbers have increased a bit more yet...Mohammad did the same!!!, all nicety pie, until his numbers had grown to become a force then he became a force and Allah changed his mind about being nice...it is called total mind and body control. When the japs were here, thy weren't here in massive numbers, nor had they tried to get into government as the Muslims do, nor did they try to change our laws etc, ivehadenuff, Muslim numbers are growing at an alarming rate and the infidel are asleep...

What can we do to help the good citizens of Boston? What can I do?

Busting Mohammad has its place, but that wont stop Allah. The moon god, moon rock, has to be smashed as well. Mohammad was just a prophet but it was Allahs voice comming from the Quran. The whole idea that YHWH and Allah are the same is false and needs to be exposed at every opportunity. There may be one God, but the name is not Allah. May the truth prevail...Allah willing.

American, sorry, I meant to include this before: I don't think the comic was Jack E. Leonard, but it was during the same time period (1970s?) that Jack E. was a popular guest on the Tonight Show and like venues. Someone with a similar delivery, anyway, but I just don't recall who.

Duh_swami, "...the whole idea that YHWH and Allah are the same is false..." goes along with "by their fruits ye shall know them" (or, in my lingo, "if it quacks like a duck and waddles like a duck, it's probably a duck").

So, what is the Koranic, aka Muhammad's, depiction of Allah? Do words like "diabolical," "sinister," and "evil" come to mind?

In regards to religion, mutual toleration in the different professions thereof is what all good and candid minds in all ages have ever practised, and, both by precept and example, inculcated on mankind. And it is now generally agreed among Christians that this spirit of toleration, in the fullest extent consistent with the being of civil society, is the chief characteristical mark of the Church. Insomuch as Mr. Locke has asserted and proved, beyond the possibility of contradiction on any solid ground, that such toleration ought to be extended to all whose doctrines are NOT subversive of society.

-Samuel Adams, The Rights of the Colonists, Nov. 20, 1772.

Methinks its time to revive the brewmaster's ideals. There is no room in Boston for Islam or its twisted passion for death. Instead we love life, and want it more abundantly. Don't tread on me.

Something people might not know.........
"Muhammad's great, great, great grandfather was a pagan, of course. He ran a religious scam in Mecca, which centered about pagan Arabs' worship of pre-Islamic gods in the rocks of the Kaaba, the large cube in the allegedly holiest spot in Mecca. One of the pagan gods at the time of Qusayy was named "Allah" ("god" in Arabic is a different word, "ilah," which sounds quite a bit like "Allah" to our ears), sort of like "Joe" or "Sam." Allah was one of 360 gods. He wore three hats. He was a moon god whose special interest was agriculture, as well as a god of the sword and war. He was selected as Muhammad's favorite because of the last two hats. His symbol was the crescent moon, a familiar sight atop many a minaret.
This religious scam was Qusayy's livelihood at least 80 years before Muhammad was born, and it was apparently profitable. Even Qusayy invented little; he used the customs, practices, and superstitions of the tribalists. Qusayy's genius was in his conventioneering." - America's Extreme Vulnerability To Islam - The Religion Barrier
Mohammad obviously learned well off his ancestor, they are using the customs, practices etc of today to further their religion,,, by the way, from what I can gather, Mohammads so called revelations didnt come from Allah, but from the arch angel Gabriel who brought them from Allah?? the god of the sword, agriculture and war, so even though all his earlier verses were of peace, tolerance and love, he obviously had intentions of taking the world by force even before he started his religion, as he chose a god of war etc... so as the article that I got this from says,,,, So there you have it. "Allah" is a f--king moon god of war who came from a stupid rock! And over one-billion people believe in this nonsense. Apparently, Mr. Barnum, you CAN fool one hell of a lot of people ALL of the time!
