Mosque Suit Says Manager Embezzled $300,000 [Islamic Center of Washington, D.C.]
Washington Post ^ | Thursday, October 12, 2006 | Jerry Markon and Michelle Boorstein

The Islamic Center of Washington, D.C., says in the lawsuit that Farzad Darui altered the names of payees on checks intended for legitimate vendors, primarily insurance companies, and substituted his own companies. It says the scheme began around 2000 and continued it until he was suspended last month...

Reached yesterday at Zaal Inc., a Falls Church real estate management company of which he is president, Darui declined to comment on the suit. His attorney, Victoria Toensing, said only that the allegations "are false and we will defend them vigorously."

Darui has not yet responded in court. He framed the issue as a management dispute in yesterday's Washington Times, which first reported the lawsuit. "This, from my point of view, is about me opposing a Saudi takeover of the center," he told the Times. "They've been trying to unilaterally appoint a new Saudi director without going through the board."

Vicky Toensing is rock solid, if she is representing him, and he is allegedly opposing a saudi takeover of the mosque, perhaps his aim is to keep out a more radical element.

That's been the MO in Australia...the local muslim community spend years collecting funds from the members to build a mosque and appoint one of their own clerics, then the Saudi funded islamofascists, members of the Muslim Brotherhood, muscle in and take over.

Al-Hilali, mufti of Australia and New Zealand, much in the news for his woman as cat-meat comments, is one such creature. There are 20 muslim groups who have been trying to get rid of him for years...but the Lebanese muslims in Sydney, who support Hezb'allah and enjoy dual citizenship (they are here for the welfare) have too much political clout. (The Left will sell their soul and your country for a vote)

The outcome of this case will be interesting.

Used the money to have sex with goats

One can only hope he spent the money on the "good life." I fear he might have sent the money to support terrorist groups planning on murdering women and children.
