Daniel Pipes’s blog ( http://www.danielpipes.org/blog/115 ) is very clear that Policastro filed the first lawsuit.
Sep. 29, 2004 update: The Boston Herald reports that James C. Policastro, a Roxbury resident, filed suit yesterday in Suffolk Superior Court against the city of Boston for subsidizing the $22 million Islamic center going up in his neighborhood, the largest Islamic institution in the Northeast. He argues that, in its land deal with the center, the Boston Redevelopment Authority violated two violations of both the state and federal constitutions: it accepted a less-than-fair-market-value price for a parcel of city land and it is illegally supporting a religion.
The discovery materials that the ISB has provided show very clearly that the David Project and its friends conspired to use a combination of frivolous lawsuits and defamatory scare-mongering to prevent American citizens from exercising their democratic and constitutional rights of free assembly and unfettered practice of their religion. (See http://eaazi.blogspot.com/2007/05/emails-show-pro-israel-anti-mosque_08.html and http://eaazi.blogspot.com/2007/05/web-of-zionist-enmeshment.html, more to be published at http://eaazi.blogspot.com later this week.)
Kandil’s, Abou-Allaban’s, and the ISB’s lawsuits represent a perfectly reasonable response of American citizens and a law-abiding religious organization to a racist legal and media attack by a criminal conspiracy of wealthy extremist ethnic Ashkenazi Americans and their non-Jewish panderers.
The David Project includes in its mission the goal of “diminishing the impact of Israel’s detractors.” For the sake of Zionism, the leaders of this extremist Israel advocacy organization are willing to subvert the US Constitution.
Patriotic Americans can only be aghast at the abusive Israel advocacy practices of the David Project and the other Jewish communal organizations with which the David Project shares interlocking directorates.
True Americans can only sympathise with the Islamic Society of Boston and its leaders, who are only trying to defend themselves from the David Project, which employs more than 30 attorneys, is backed by several extremist Zionist billionaires more loyal to Israel than to fundamental American principles and has paid Floyd Abrams, perhaps the most highly priced attorney in the USA, to argue the anti-SLAPP motion of the non-media defendants.
The need for such a costly advocate is completely understandable because of the way in which the David Project twists the American legal system.
Normally, anti-SLAPP regulations are supposed to protect ordinary American communities from wealthy predatory developers. The David Project and its friends include some of the most aggressive Boston area real estate investors. These conspirators are making a racist attack on a religious community, whose largest components consist of taxi drivers, construction workers and African American Muslims, who live in Roxbury.
I am unable to comprehend how anyone can take seriously the whining of the David Project and its friends.
