Michael Graham provides some more disturbing details on the legal action against him (previous: Another Subpoena in the Boston Mosque Case): When Mosques Attack!
As you heard on the show, and may have read in the Boston Herald, the Islamic Society of Boston has issued a subpoena of my personal phone records, show notes and other materials related to our on air conversations regarding Menino's Mosque. The subpoena came one week after a threatening letter from the ISB's attorney warning me against discussing the issue on the air.
And, as you heard on my show, my answer to the ISB both times has been "Kiss My Burkha."...
In other words, Don't talk about what we don't want you to talk about or be prepared to incur legal fees and compromised privacy. Disturbing.
Reflecting, seemingly, but another dimension of the jihad principle, a kind of prime directive. Also reflecting how any dualism is eschewed (e.g., limited or virtually no self-reflection, self-critique) and instead a monism is applied: offense, offense, offense. As such another dimension of a monism which collapses the other-worldly/religious into the this-worldly/political instead of a dualism which distinguishes the two (if to varying degrees, depending upon the specific critique applied).
