More on the close, perhaps too close, relationship between the Boston Redevelopment Authority and the Islamic Society of Boston. Did a city official get a free trip in whole or partial payment for the sweetheart real estate deal the ISB received from the city?
"BRA official's travels to Middle East raise accounting questions," by Charles A. Radin in the Boston Globe, with thanks to Libbie:
A critic of the Islamic Society of Boston's efforts to construct a mosque at Roxbury Crossing demanded yesterday that the society and the Boston Redevelopment Authority reveal who paid the expenses of the BRA deputy director who traveled to the Middle East on behalf of the mosque project.The David Project, a Jewish advocacy group, said in a press release yesterday that the BRA deputy director, Mohammad Ali-Salaam, had made more than one trip to the Middle East on behalf of the mosque project, and that the BRA and the Islamic society are refusing to divulge who had paid Ali Salaam's expenses.
The group filed suit in Suffolk Superior Court in October seeking to force BRA disclosure of records regarding the mosque project.
A BRA spokeswoman, Jessica Shumaker, said the agency has responded fully to the David Project's initial requests for information, and is waiting to hear whether the organization is willing to pay for public-records research to fill additional requests it has made.
David Project president Charles Jacobs said, "The public is entitled to know who paid for the BRA deputy director to travel to the Middle East to raise money for the Islamic society."
Jacobs referred questions about the press release to the David Project's attorney in the case, Jeffrey Robbins , who refused to say why the David Project has begun referring to "trips" made by Ali-Salaam to the Middle East.
It has been reported previously that Ali-Salaam made one trip on behalf of the mosque project, for which his airfare was paid by the Islamic society, and that the Islamic society had praised Ali-Salaam's fund-raising efforts on behalf of the project.
Jacobs said the cost of hotels, restaurants, and other expenses was probably thousands of dollars.
Bostonistan.
And people think capitalism and Islam can't coexist. Who would have thought?
Where is Paul Revere when we need him? The muslims are coming .. the muslims are coming! One if by land .. two if by air!
What? Mohammad Ali-Salaam hasn't been put in jail yet?

"An Ethics Commission opinion also noted that the close involvement of a Muslim BRA official, Muhammad Ali Salaam, could create the appearance that decisions were "unduly influenced by personal loyalties." Other documents indicate that Ali Salaam was intimately involved in many aspects of the deal, traveling to the Middle East on a fund-raising trip with ISB officials and writing letters on behalf of the ISB on BRA stationary."

Among other things, this guy is obviously tied to terrorist fund raising. I don't know why he's still running loose...

Were the beheadings, "honor killings," Bible burnings, and public floggings, hangings and stonings all put on hold while this ding-dong went on his tour of the always sophisticated Mideast?
I wonder what was the fundraising pitch? How about:
"We have an opportunity to convert thousands of young black, latino, and immigrant youth (from Haiti, Cape Verde, and Dominican Republic, for example) to Islam if we have a bright, shiny new mosque.
This is part of my ongoing thesis that Muslim immigration and Dawa (conversion) will target states where the white population is in relative decline: Michigan, Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Maine. The ultimate goal: mini-Sharia republics within the US.
Off topic but according to Deutsche Welle TV's English version (Link TV, Channel 9410 on Dishnetwork)..the Russian who was poisoned with Polonium .Alexander V. Litvinenko , is having funeral services in a mosque.. the broadcast said that he converted prior to death.. I don't believe that at all, they obviously got that info from the mosque or muslims, chances are he has been a muslim all along, he was investigating the death of , journalist Anna Politkovskaya, a fierce critic of Mr. Putin and his policies in Chechnya.
Got a question, Where is Mitt Romney in all of this. I know the Governor does not have power over mayors and cities, but he does have moral authority and bargaining tools.. (money).
I find this disturbing:
A BRA spokeswoman, Jessica Shumaker, said the agency has responded fully to the David Project's initial requests for information, and is waiting to hear whether the organization is willing to pay for public-records research to fill additional requests it has made.
So "public records research" is a waiting game? What a airhead. Didn't they spend taxpayer's money "hiding" the same documents it seems that "research" will have to find?
What a pile of crap that is. I'm with Dr. Bulldog - this excuse for an American needs to be under the jail.
Very slightly O/T a serious incident has occured on a US domestic flight !
It could have been worse if those 6 imans had been on board.
If it had been me, after a few pints of 1664
I would have need a flame thrower !!!

I am amused to see that Muslims are willingly participating in a not-so--venerable American institution that runs counter to Kuranic teachings--"PORK BARREL PROJECTS". With apologies to Hugo Chavez fanatics, I can still smell the bacon!!!
However--
I am not so amused that the US government has yet to recognize Islam for what it is: institutionalized murder that has no place in America.

In case you missed it, Romney didn't run this time, and is no longer the gov in MA - that office has gone Dem.
He is one of the only GOP frontrunners who is not afraid to oppose Islam, as he showed during the Boston mosque surveillance issue. Try doing 2 things:
Try doing 2 things:
* Support candidates from either party who are right about Islam - there aren't too many of them;
* Try getting more Dems to recognize the threat Islam poses to traditional Dem constituents - Jews, Women, Gays, Animal Rights activists (halal), et al

How do these type candidates raise money? I agree.. how could gays for example be FOR anything moslem? Lesbians too. Are they INSANE? And don't get me started on these reprobates who slaughter animals in their bathtubs. Where IS PETA in all of this? Do they have an official viewpoint?
If we can get islam tied up in the intricacies and niceties of Political Correctness - NOT as its beneficiary but rather as its *subject*... we will have achieved a LOT. Get there "american" eemamz to say some stupid ant-gay or racist things as they are wont to at any given time..
Oh well, they've got Rosie on their side and she is the official spokes"woman" of all gay and lesbian causes from now till eternity.
PITY THE FOOLS - they will indeed eradicate them long before they come for us..
Time to put an end to our political whores.
That's why there is no place for Muslims in our society. They confiscate our property and valuables to the Muhammad monarchy, a foreign non-American government. I cannot understand how a Muslim can be placed in such an important position, but considering their Islam is widely tolerated by the ignorant among us, it can be expected. Contact this guy, and other members of the BRA. Express your objections to his dealings and plans:

Try to shed light on Islam to his associates:
