The Investigative Project has an excellent two part expose on the background of the Muslim American Society's most visible spokesman, Mahdi Bray: Mahdi Bray's Secret, Checkered Past. The MAS is now, of course, running the Islamic Society of Boston's Boston Mosque. Bray was there for the press conference when the ISB 'declared victory' in their lawsuit. We've mentioned him many times here in various contexts.
The MAS has re-posted an article defending Bray (also posted at Bray's own web site). The article attempts to claim that the entire thing is a smear campaign against Bray because of an upcoming fundraiser for a Muslim newspaper (take a look at how well researched IPT's report is to see how lame this is). Author O.M. Hassan-Ali says that all the connections of the MAS to radicals are nonsense. Of course, Bray is going to be appearing at this fundraiser with George Galloway. You be the judge. (For all two of you unfamiliar with Galloway, this is akin to saying, "Oh no, no extremists here," then showing up with Adam Gadahn, American Al Qaeda, on your arm.)

1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
5) Enjoy your stay!
