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.)
