Boston Mayor Menino (he was the stupid-sounding one at the presser ----in the wheelchair---injured in auto accident),then-Mass Sen John Kerry and every pol who sucked up should be rigorously scrutinized ---- possibly charged with aiding and abetting terror against Americans.
MENINO'S MOSQUE
The Phoenix | November 24, 2008 | David S. Bernstein / FR Posted by Prospero
Most Boston locals concede that getting anything of substance accomplished in Boston is a Herculean task. Residents have all but embraced the principle of civic inaction with a perverse kind of local pride. In the end, who you know is probably more important than what you are trying to do.
And there is no doubt that little is accomplished without the approval and support of the mayor, Thomas M. Menino.
So it is with the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center (ISBCC) near the intersection of Tremont Street and Martin Luther King Boulevard. Better known as the Roxbury mosque, the ISBCC has been in the works for more than 20 years. A few weeks ago it finally opened its doors for prayer — five years late, millions over budget, and still far from complete.
While the story of the building of the Roxbury mosque may not be worthy of a Hollywood epic, it does contain the stuff of a good television drama: (with Menino involved in) community intrigue, religious conflict, media controversy, foreign money, suspicions of extremist ties......and once-cocksure public officials, who (like Menino and Kerry who once gave Islamics serial BJ's) have since retreated into a zone of silence.
Islamic Society of Boston's Cambridge mosque....built w/ Menino's govt authority.
