Miss Kelly ably fisks the MAS's press release here: MAS Claims "Victory" in ISB Lawsuit/ Mahdi Bray's Wife is Morgan Fairchild

The Boston Herald reports on itself, here: Islamic group drops Herald suit. Hopefully this will open a new chapter in the press continuing to cover the shady side of the Mosque. Are you listening Howie Carr? I'm talking to you.

The AP has a milquetoast report that seems to start from the MAS press release: Both sides drop legal challenges in mosque suit.

Let's be clear, there is no "both sides" here. The ISB/MAS dropped their suit...period. They were being bled to death by disclosures. In a more perfect world they'd be paying the defendants' expenses. Though the MAS press release and many of the public pronouncements of the ISB and their chosen mouth-pieces have and had been taking on an increasingly strident and desperate "the mosque and Islam are under attack" tone, [I remember Naser Khader of the Danish Democratic Muslims movement remarking that he recommends a Cartoon Crisis for the USA -- you will discover who are democracy-minded Muslims and who are not. This sort of rhetoric is exactly how that thing got started.] the fact is that the mosque itself has never been under serious threat. The only people under "threat" were the leaders of this project -- connections to the Muslim Brotherhood, Saudi Arabia, raving anti-semites...the self-inflicted wounds of the lawsuit not only showed the defendants' concerns were justified, they were proving them out.

You better believe this result is not what the ISB & Co. had in mind when they began this suit.

Update: The Boston Globe's story is here: Islamic Society drops lawsuit
