Here is video from yesterday's press conference held by Americans for Peace and Tolerance regarding today's opening of the MAS-run Boston Mosque:
On June 26, Governor Deval Patrick and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino will be honored guests at the grand opening of the Islamic Society of Boston's Cultural Center in Roxbury, Massachusetts. Americans for Peace and Tolerance wish the Boston Muslim community well in their new cultural and religious center, and we celebrate the growing religious diversity it represents.

The Globe reports on the Mosque opening as well as the controversy: A call to prayer, a long quest fulfilled, and notes that the Governor will not be attending: Governor to miss mosque dedication.
There was a demonstration outside the Mosque ceremony this morning. I've heard some interesting things happened. Hope to have more later.
