Strange Stuff: The Workmen's Circle and the Islamic Society of Boston
The Workmen's Circle in Boston got drawn into a lawsuit involving the Islamic Society of Boston against various Jewish and media groups. The story is convoluted, but this blog link has details, including a careful summary from the local Workmen's Circle:
the ISB has asked the Workmen’s Circle to file an amicus brief supporting its right to bring a defamation and civil rights lawsuit against the Boston Herald, FOX News, and the David Project, a Jewish advocacy organization, among others. A meeting was held on Monday to provide our members and leaders with more information about the dispute. Attorneys for the ISB and the David Project each took an hour to present a summary of their case and answer questions. Nearly one hundred WC members and representatives from other Jewish organizations attended, and we felt proud of the respectful and dignified manner in which everyone listened and participated.
The blog, the Jewish Russian Telegraph, has a lot more very pointed commentary on the whole episode and the origins of the request for support.
