Curiouser and curiouser...maybe there was more to what appeared an upside-down flag over the new Islamic Society of Boston Mosque than I thought previously. It was a trick of the camera-angle, but perhaps for some it was a happy coincidence. Miss Kelly has a very interesting letter from a local Muslim who's none-too-happy with the new leadership. This is a process that has occurred before elsewhere. Mosque is built by moderates who are set out front to get things rolling and earn acceptance, but they are eventually muscled out by people with another agenda who manipulate the system to their advantage: "Time to Speak About My Flag"
I received an interesting e-mail a few days ago, which I am reprinting in full. The author is Azzam, a gentleman who attended the Islamic Center of New England (ICNE) /Sharon. He sent this to me when I was criticized for my post about the upside-down flag flying at the minaret-capping ceremony in Roxbury. He has a flag story to tell, and here are his words. Some of it may seem a bit cryptic, but I believe that the people who Azzam is talking about in this piece know exactly what he means...
