The [1] David Project website has just posted an explosive series of documents relating to the highly questionable favorable deal given to the Islamic Society of Boston to build their new mosque there: "*New* Recently disclosed Boston Redevelopment Authority ("BRA") documents." All of these are clickable and viewable at the David Project site. Note especially the first two, and also number six. Number six shows the use of Boston Redevelopment Authority stationery by Islamic Society of Boston officials with no position at the BRA. It conveys $10,000 in Islamic Society funds to the Roxbury Community College to the President of the Roxbury Community College, and asks that the contribution be kept "anonymous."

The following recently disclosed Boston Redevelopment Authority ("BRA") documents were the subject of the March 4, 2006 Boston Globe article entitled "[2] Aide's role in mosque deal eyed":
