Caught red-handed: Boston Redevelopment Authority documents show favorable treatment given to Islamic Society of Boston

The 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 "Aide's role in mosque deal eyed":

1. March 29, 2000 document signed by Muhammed Ali Salaam, Deputy Director for Planning at the BRA, stating that the estimated fair market value of the public land to be transferred to the Islamic Society of Boston was $2,010,966.

2. August 2000 Agreement between the BRA and the Islamic Society stipulating that the fair market value of the land would be treated as $401,000, and that the land would be transferred to the Islamic Society for $175,000, as well as the Islamic Society's agreement to fundraise for the Roxbury Community College Foundation and establish a lecture series and library on Islamic issues.

3. December, 1999 Request by the Islamic Society that Mr. Ali Salaam, a BRA official with responsibility for overseeing the Islamic Society's proposal to the BRA to obtain public land, travel to the Middle East for 10 days as a "governmental representative" in order to assist the Islamic Society with its fundraising effort. The Islamic Society agrees to pay for Mr. Ali Salaam's trip to the Middle East to assist in this effort.

4. January, 2000 Approval by the BRA retroactively approving Mr. Ali Salaam's trip to the Middle East to assist in the fundraising effort in the United Arab Emirates, and reflects that his airfare will be paid by the Islamic Society. The documents do not reflect who if anyone paid for Mr. Ali Salaam's lodging, travel, food and entertainment during the approximately 10 days that he was in the Middle East assisting in the fundraising effort.

5. February 2000 Islamic Society newsletter highlighting the Islamic Society's "Overseas Fundraising Efforts", and stating that Mr. Ali Salaam "worked hard during Ramadan to solicit funds from overseas", and that he was one of the Islamic Society's representatives who "took on" fundraising in certain Middle Eastern countries.

6. December 9, 2000 letter written on official BRA stationery, signed by Mr. Ali Salaam and signed as well by two Islamic Society officials with no position at the BRA, conveying $10,000 in Islamic Society funds to the Roxbury Community College to the President of the Roxbury Community College, and asking that the contribution be kept "anonymous".

7. February 26, 1999 Confidential Memorandum from Mr. Ali Salaam to the Board of Directors of the Islamic Society, counseling the Board on ways of obtaining favorable review of the Islamic Society proposal to the BRA; "as long as the City feels we [are] working cooperatively and making measured progress, then they will continue to work with us."

8. May 5, 1999 letter written by Mr. Ali Salaam on BRA stationery to a potential contractor for the Islamic Society of Boston, referred to by Mr. Ali Salaam as "the Client", and, on behalf of the Islamic Society, instructing the contractor to revise its bid to do work for the Islamic Society and to submit the revised bid to Mr. Ali Salaam.

From a legal perspective, Islam can be shown to constitute conspiracy to commit multiple homicides (which is a capital crime under US statutes). This can be discerned from verses gleaned straight from Islam's source material, the Kuran. This aspect of the relgion cannot be circumvented. It should be taken very seriously.

The Boston Redevelopment Agency has 1-)further endangered the lives of Boston residents by aiding and abetting Islam in their city; 2-)engaged in discriminatory acts since first of all it is giving preferential treatment to a so-called RELIGION (does anyone remember the days of "separation of church and state?) and again by what amounts to de facto approval of Islam's institutionalization of first degree murder (obviously a gross violation of US law) when clearly no other human organization is permitted to do so on US soil; and, 3-)probably, the Boston Redevelopment has accepted bribes from local mosques and their treasury of petro/blood monies.

As I have said many times on this blog, American citizens should SUE the US government for failure to uphold its constitutional duty to protect its citizens rights to "life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness" and for discrimination since through permitting Islam to set up on US soil the Islamic practice of committing homicides is being tacitly permitted whereas no other group may so violate this American statute with government approval tacit or otherwise. Boston citizens should haul the Boston Redevelopment Agency's butt(s) into court ASAP.
Pursuing life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is a bit tough to do when someone is trying to kill you and the government is looking the other way,

el greco:

Someone was suing (the David Project and others for defamation) but the ISB withdrew its suit and sent out a plea for brotherly love. I guess we know why they weren't quite so anxious to have their day in court as they originally seemed to be.

And, if you check the David Project's site, you'll see that one of the municipal reps is looking to open things up for review.

Mr. Salaam's conflict of interest is absolutely transparent. Mr. Salaam by his own admission was an agent for both sides. The question remains: did he violate the law? And did others in the BRA conspire with him to defraud the citizens of Boston from receiving market value for property that belonged to the people of Boston?

The request that the donation to Roxbury be kept anonymous constitutes an admission that the Islamic Society of Boston was fully aware of the impropriety of the transaction.

This appears to be a transaction in which there is collusion between the buyer and an agent of the seller (who also by his own admission functioned as an agent of the buyer) to defraud a principal, namely, the people of Boston, of the true market value of an asset. One would think that there are legal grounds to reverse the transaction; the land rightfully belongs to the City, and all improvements on the land go to the people of Boston.

Will the District Attorney have the courage to stand up for the rights of the people against this fraud?

This makes me puke. Are there a lot of muslims working for the City of Boston?

And how did this guy get this position? Doesn't selling land have to be approved by the city council?

Is the city council full of muslims?

People need to stop and think about putting them in positions of any kind of power. This is dangerous for our country.

I'm puling for this mega Mosque to go down in flames. Such Mosques in infidel lands are a form of Jihad and glorification of the local ummah

Never trust a government agency that has an acronym like BRA.

It only tempts the criminally-minded to try to pull a fast one on such oblivious boneheads.

In this case, the BRA evidently slipped.

(Lack of Saudi underwiring?)

We have allowed muslim traitors to infiltrate our government and to assume positions of power at all levels,and now we see the results:the muslim traitors are selling american real estate to the islamic ummah.
We have allowed muslim traitors into the army and now we see the results:muslim traitors hurling grenades into their american comrades in arms tents.
We have allowed muslim traitors to become political presidential advisers,and now our president is celebrating Ramadan and has placed a koran in the White House Library...
Since we are stupid enough to dig our own grave,let`s just lay down and allow them to burrie us.

In most countries in the world, publication of such documents would be immediately followed by the arrest and prosecution of all involved for conspiracy to defraud the State.

many churches in Indonesia has been closed by moslems, but you are american allow moslems to build mosque in your country ? that must be crazy. every mosque that moslems build in your country which means one step toward for them to force their shariah law in your country. don't let this happen in your country.

I pray for american government to wakeup soon.

But remember, Paolo, this is the United States. We have real problems to deal with like Martha Stewart's stock trading habits, kids under 18 smoking cigarettes, not to mention who's winning on "American Idol". Jihad-linked mohammedans engaging in shadowy deals to buy up American property? *yawn*
