_The  Sun Sentinel reported on July 8, 2016_ 
(http://mail.floridafamily.org/iem_615/link.php?M=90955&N=130&L=331&F=H)  in an 
article titled Elections  
supervisor removes Boca Raton mosque as polling site.   The article states 
in part:  

Palm Beach County's elections supervisor is  moving a polling station from 
a Boca Raton mosque to a public  library.

Bassem  Alhalabi, president of the mosque, said it was Bucher's idea to 
make  the mosque a polling location, but she told him in a recent phone call  
she reversed her decision amid opposition. He said Bucher told him she  had 
received about 50 phone calls raising concern about the  mosque.

Alhalabi said  citizen complaints shouldn't warrant a change. The list of 
polling  sites in Palm Beach County includes Christian churches and Jewish  
synagogues.

"This is not  democratic," Alhalabi said. "If Muslims are good to vote in a 
church  and a synagogue, then Christian and Jews are also good to vote in 
an  Islamic center."

But there is a huge  difference.  Christians and Jews are not advocating  
Sharia sanctioned cutting off of hands as Bassem Alhalabi, president  of the 
mosque, did as a professor at Florida Atlantic  University.  Nor are 
Christians and Jews associated with  jihadists as Bassem Alhalabi is as 
reported 
below..

Florida  Atlantic Professor Defends Sharia Law 
Practice of Cutting Off  Hands.  _(THE  UNITED WEST)_ 
(http://mail.floridafamily.org/iem_615/link.php?M=90955&N=130&L=295&F=H)  On 
May 23, 2016 on the 
campus of Florida Atlantic  University in Boca Raton, FL, the university’s 
Muslim Student  Association’s hosted a so-called Islamophobia panel discussion, 
which  was attended by the United West.

FAU Department of Computer and Electrical  Engineering and Computer Science 
Associate _Professor  Bassem Alhalabi_ 
(http://mail.floridafamily.org/iem_615/link.php?M=90955&N=130&L=288&F=H)  was 
included on the panel of these 
distinguished  experts and he made the incredible statement about the case to 
be made  for Sharia Law and it’s provisions of capital punishment, including  
the cutting off of hands.

‘“Where there is no Sharia, Islamic Sharia,  they die in dozens and 
hundreds every day because of organized crime.  People kill people, other 
people 
or steal pizza for $10 and so – so  when Islamic Shariah is saying about 
capital punishment – so even  though it sounds like it is severe but if that is 
the solution to  prevent any crimes, then it still has a lot of rules and 
regulations.  I will just mention one and stop here, which is let’s say 
cutting off  the hands of a person if they steal. It sounds very severe. It 
sounds 
 very barbaric, I know. But if takes one or two people to have their  hands 
cut off, and then there’s no more stealing and there’s no more  stealing 
in the whole nation – that’s a much better resolution than  having hundreds 
of people die every day.”

Al-Arian was sentenced to 57 months in prison, given  credit for time

_CAIR  issued a news release on July 11, 2016_ 
(http://mail.floridafamily.org/iem_615/link.php?M=90955&N=130&L=332&F=H)  
titled CAIR-Florida Seeks 
Restoration  of Mosque Polling Site Following Removal Based on Islamophobic  
Backlash.  The release states in  part:

(MIAMI, FL,  7/11/2016) - The Florida chapter of the Council on 
American-Islamic  Relations (CAIR-Florida) today called for the restoration of 
a 
polling  place in one of that state's mosques after it was removed following an 
 
Islamophobic backlash.

"The  supervisor of elections is evidently targeted by an organized 
lobbying  campaign spreading fear and Islamophobia. Her discretion to designate 
 or 
remove polling sites must never be based on religious, racial or  ethnic 
bias," said Laila Abdelaziz, CAIR-Florida legislative and  government affairs 
director. "This apparent unconstitutional religious  bias may need to be 
corrected by our courts."

Abdelaziz said CAIR-Florida is sending a  written request for the 
supervisor to promptly reinstate the Islamic  Center of Boca Raton as a polling 
station and will consider every  legal avenue to prevent "this openly 
discriminatory decision affecting  the federally protected rights of the Palm 
Beach 
County  voters."

The Sun Sentinel reports that as many as fifty  people have complained 
about the original decision to use the mosque  as a voting poll.  If fifty 
people have complained there are most  likely many more people who feel the 
same 
way.  Using the Bassem  Alhalabi mosque will likely hurt voter turnout for 
this  precinct.  That would be unfair to voters and people seeking  office.  
CAIR would rather call concerned citizens Islamophobes  than recognize that 
Bassem Alhalabi's public statements and  associations are troublesome to 
many people.
