The imam, Imam Zul-Qarnain Shahid, has worked as a DOC jail chaplain for three years, according to department sources.
Several sources said Shahid was caught this morning attempting to bring three box-cutters into the jail known as the Tombs during a visit there. It was not known why he was visiting the jail.
A DOC spokesman had no immediate comment.
A DOC chaplain assigned to the Tombs – politically connected rabbi Leib Glanz – resigned last year after The Post exclusively revealed that he had organized a bar mitzvah party within the jail’s walls for the son of an inmate. The bar mitzvah featured catered food and a live band, as well as dozens of non-inmate guests.
A Department of Investigation probe into that incident has dragged on for months, with no official result.
These chevra are just Masters with the Knife!!
No more Muslem chaplains untill they can follow rules.
You will hear less of a stink about this major scandal than the major coverage Rabbi Glanz did for doing nothing.
I hope it was not for the BAR MITZVAH party!!
They plan so far in advance.
These were to be held for KSM.
Would be Obama’s Nov Surprise- In reverse.
What a Golem from pumpadisa
So- what have we got here: is the article trying to compare The Jewish Chaplin Wrong Doing with that of the Moslem Chaplin Wrongdoing? Having a religious celebration vs. trying to kill and maim, and hold hostages………these are morally equivalent?
when will we learn we got to start profilling it is always the arabs who do these criminal and dangerous acts!
Don’t ya find it interesting that they had to throw Rabbi Glanz back into the mix even though this has nothing to do with him !?
and this guy brings in knives & all we get is a small blip ?
I went thru TSA security yesterday in FL and I gotta tell you folks: It’s a total joke in that they do not look for the terrorist but look at everyone equally. PC will be the death of us all!
Have a knife day!
These box cutters could have been used to murder the prison guards, just like 2 Al-Qaeda terrorists who filed down a comb and used it to penetrate the eye and brain of a guard and blinded him and almost killed him. If that were the case, then this Imam would be an accessory to a capital murder, a first for U.S. history that a “chaplain” aided and abetted terrorists in murdering prison guards.
