Texas Terrorism Trial Ties Boston Mosque Leaders to Extremist Network
Why is Boston selling land to Hamas sympathizers?
BOSTON, Dec 03 - Dennis Hale, President of Citizens for Peace and Tolerance, called today for a public investigation of the Boston Redevelopment Authority's sale of land to the Islamic Society of Boston (ISB) for the construction of New England's largest mosque.Hale noted that officers of the largest Muslim charity in America, The Holy Land Foundation (HLF), convicted in Texas last week of funding Middle East terrorism, have ties to the ISB and its close affiliate, the Muslim American Society[Muslim Brotherhood]
"The convictions in Texas are a victory in the government's efforts to prevent charities from being used to support terrorism," said Hale. The Holy Land Foundation and five of its organizers were convicted for sending more than $12 million to the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas. "It is shocking to discover the ties between the HLF and the leadership of the Islamic Society of Boston," said Hale.
