    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.

    You will hear less of a stink about this major scandal than the major coverage Rabbi Glanz did for doing nothing.

    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?

    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!

    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.
