In Roxbury, a call for religious tolerance
Interfaith groups at mosque site

By David Abel, Globe Staff | June 28, 2007

Rabbis came in yarmulkes, priests wore their Roman collars, and imams dressed in knitted caps and the loose-fitting gowns called thobes.

About 300 people, from Jews in sandals to suited Christians to Muslims in sequined veils, gathered beneath the arched brick entrance of the city's newest mosque yesterday to mark completion of the first stage of its construction.

They also prayed for tolerance in the wake of controversy and a lawsuit that has raised questions about who paid for the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center and how it obtained the land in Roxbury.

They prayed in Arabic, Hebrew, and English. The Boston Workmen's Circle, a century-old secular Jewish group from Brookline, sang songs of peace.

The Rev. Edward O'Flaherty represented Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley, leader of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston.

O'Malley and "Tolerance" in the same sentence? What a fucking hypocrite.

And The Islamic Society of Boston signed on to the anti-gay marriage petition as well.

They're all fucking hypocrites.
