A number of Muslims in town or city government have been the subject of stories at JihadWatch, and elsewhere, either because they were found to have had links to doubtful organizations outside of work, or because they were using their jobs to promote, as appears to have been the case here, the spread, the cause, the goal, of Islam -- in ways that most, reading the above, would find quite improper. Helping to arrange for a sale of state land for $171,000 when it has been judged to be worth $2 milliion, and going off to raise further funds, it appears, in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, two components of our new "staunch ally" the United Arab Emirates, but at a time when the United Arab Emirates was still apparently a supporter of the Taliban, and its rulers still capable of paying a friendly visit to friendly Osama bin Laden (their presence preventing a palpable American hit), so it was at a time when it was not yet that "staunch ally," or "ally" -- in fact, was a known supporter of both the Taliban and, at least personally, of Osama bin Laden.

For anyone connected to the BRA to attempt to whitewash this, or close down discussion, is to cause everyone to wonder what is being hidden, and why, and to demand, even if they had never before taken much interest in the Boston Mosque business (and have left it up to a few determined others), to find out every single detail of this deal.

Including, of course, that absurd acceptance of Muslim propaganda -- 2,500 "books on Islam" to be "donated" to Roxbury Community College, along with a "series of lectures" on Islam to be delivered, for the sake of that community college's students, on the subject of -- Islam.

Neither John Roy Carlson (Under Cover), nor Herbert Philbrick (I Led Three Lives) would have been amused.

I've been following this Boston über Mosque controversy. So has Daniel Pipes. http://www.danielpipes.org/blog/115

What a great detail of this Muslim on the public payroll (dole) smoothing the way to this land give away. Why does this take so long to leak out? This really stinks. More taqiyya lying to the infidel on this one. Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie... Because these Muslims believe in "by whatever means necessary" to build another house of Muhammad idolization and "by whatever means necessary" to make Jihad on the infidels. Mosque building is Jihad, I know this because they also make Jihad by destroying churches and synagogues

This is why the Boston Muhammadans have offered to give up their defamation lawsuit in the interest of inter faith reconciliation. YEAH RIGHT!

This Roxbury land give away is coming back to bite them in their prostrating_to_imaginary_Allah butts. I'm guessing that some of these new details are leaks from the pre-trial discovery process. The Mosque builders hands are dirty, they've been stealing from the infidel, they have tried to suppress free speech about this mosque rip-off, and hopefully those accused of defamation counter sue the Muhammadans to bring more truth to light

Disturbing news to read.

Dennisw: Thanks for the Daniel Pipes link

I was not surprised to hear about how Seanator John Kerry was somehow involved with the mosque deal.

Here is a quote from the Daniel Pipes blog:

" And speaking of "politicians' red faces" – who should have written a warm letter of congratulations to the Islamic Society of Boston on the occasion of its groundbreaking, dated Nov. 7, 2002, but John Kerry?

I am sure glad that John Kerry is not the president of the U.S.

As someone who has been watching the developments surrounding this mosque, I am very concerned. The backroom deals that brought this about are precedent setting, even in a town dominated by the likes of the Bulger brothers, Mayor Curley and the rest of the "Boston Pols" past and present.
I hope the defendents in this case, Fox 25 TV and the Globe, pursue the plaintiffs in court and shed some light on the shennanigans. It would be wonderful to see the mosque supporters squirm in the light and fresh air of Truth like termites exposed to the open air. A fitting image,seeing that both seek to destroy quietly in order to bring about an environment in which they, as parasites, thrive.

Somebody, kindly unhook the "BRA" from this project...

Posted by: Shinoliite at March 4, 2006 12:49 PM

The second suit was brought in October by the Islamic Society, charging 16 individuals and entities, including the Boston Herald, WFXT-TV (Channel 25), and several Jewish community activists, with conspiring to defame the society in order to prevent construction of the mosque. Continued...

So many were wounded by this drive by suing that some just have to be eager to pursue a counter suit. The Globe won't. Fox TV won't. But others will step up to the plate. These immigrant Muslims are too full of themselves. They messed with Americans who have a stake in a free America due to living here for generations

This Muslim spray and pray posse is in deep sh!t

It appears the connection between Mohammad Ali-Salaam and the mosque deal would not have come to light without the lawsuit. Conflict of interest laws and ethics standards have been violated, of course (the city of Boston was in effect defrauded of 1.8 million dollars at the very least), but there must have also been some attempt to cover up these actions. Given the scrutiny of this deal and all the questions raised by various groups, how could this not be known by officials in the BRA? So, why didn't the BRA disclose this information about Mohammad Ali-Salaam?

There is also a question of conspiracy charges against those responsible in the BRA for covering this up;of course, Elsbree must claim that she believes conflict of interest laws were not violated. If she admits that this behavior is against the law, and she knew about it, and she took action to conceal it, she could be charged.

Top this all off with the original problem folks had with the mosque,that it was backed by individuals and groups who support the ongoing jihad against the United States, and we have a horrible mess for Bostonians and Americans at large.

Stop the mosque, prosecute those who sold out Boston, and then let's critically evaluate how this could happen and do our best to make sure it does not happen again.

You make a VERY IMPORTANT point, dennisw!

Those coming from Bombay, India, know of the msoque on Marine Drive, one of the prime areas of Bombay, where a mosque lies int he middle, the MIDDDLE, of a prime road. Mosque Jihad made authorities build the road AROUND THE MOSQUE to leave it intact.

Also, few know that land claimed by ISLAM is ISLAMIC LAND FOREVER!! So, good luck getting any of the land (mosques/cemetries/Ialamic centers are built on), EVER!!

Again, good point, dennisw!

Mosques Are a Security Threat

Mosques are an emerging security threat for the US.

They are often centers where funds are collected for terrorist activities around the world and they also attract individuals who want to use the mosque as a center to organize anti-American propaganda campaigns.

Certain Mosques could fall under the RICO Act as they may be set up for the main purpose of promoting terrorism.

This is not to say that mosques are the only problem. Certain Sikh temples in the UK, Canada, and the US are also suspected of being involved in financing terrorism, in collaboration with Muslim terrorists who often provide the weapons.

That brings me to the issue of international rings of terrorism. The rings must be broken. I think only we can do that as Canadians, the British, and the Europeans seem to have taken the dhimmi way out.

Please fill me in on this - is there some kind of law or precedent in the US for giving public land cheap to religious organisations?

Posted by: Lilith at March 4, 2006 7:13 PM

This sounds as underhanded, crooked and dubious as the UAE / Dubai emirates port deal.

Where is the Main stream media? Those self-inflated muckrakers?

Tracking down something really important and vital to the survival of our Civilization, like:

-Anna Nicole Smith trying to pry money from a dead man's hands?

-the already-over reported-on accidental and tragic death in Afghanistan, by 'friendly fire', of Army Ranger/star athlete Pat Tillman?

-the already-over-reported-on 'Hurricane Katrina' and the catastrophically-inept response to it -by every level of government?

Let's not examine anything that might signify something beyond the lunge for mere ratings, cheap political advantage or morbid impotence.

This kind of sleazy pandering to p.c. influences -as in this mosque deal, and in the ignoring of such crooked "religious" dealings by the media- is symptomatic of the growing infestation of U.S. bureacracies by pimps for the Caliphate.

And is a telling example of how little the Press cares for the central meaning of the First Amendment anymore.

They avoid Islam like the plague.

In the 1970s the liberal Republican mayor of NYC (John Lindsay) gave* a city bldg to the "Five Percenters" (an offshoot of the Nation Of Islam). They use (present tense) it as "the Allah School In Mecca". The Five Percenters believe that the white man is the devil and the black man is god.
So the city of Boston is operating according to standard liberal procedure: give the Muslims as much as you can.

* he may have charged them a dollar, and maybe it was only land, but I've seen the bldg, and it sure looks pre-1950s

CORRECTION/clarification From a website:

Clarence 13X built a close relationship with Mayor John Lindsey and in 1967 they got a house in Harlem. The "Allah School in Mecca" (Harlem was renamed as Mecca and Brooklyn as Medina, the further relocation of Allah) still serves as the Five Percent headquarters.
