Dear Neighbors, Residents, and Bay People Supporters:
As you are aware, Bay People Inc. and certain residents and neighbors of Sheepshead Bay filed a law suit against proposed mosque owner Allowey Ahmed, co-owner 2004-000088, LLC, and general contractors and architects of the 2812 Voorhies Avenue project. The basis of our claim was that the proposed construction substantially interferes with the neighbors' use and enjoyment of their properties and also threatens the support of neighboring structures. Additionally, the overflow of extra cars from this new construction (that does not provide any onsite parking) will cause double parking and prevent emergency vehicles from getting through to residents. This is a separate matter from the zoning challenge that is still pending at the Department of Buildings "DOB."
Allowey Ahmed retained Lamis Deek as the attorney for all defendants. It is not clear if Ms. Deek specializes in real estate law, construction law, land use or zoning; however she does promote an anti-Israel agenda and even calls for the annihilation of Israel in this video on YouTube, calling for "full dismantlement of all Zionist structures, all Zionist laws, all Zioist institutions":
The fact that Ms. Deek is the attorney chosen to represent Allowey Ahmed and the mosque builders speaks volumes of the true agenda and motivation behind the construction of the Sheepshead Bay Mosque. The residents of Sheepshead Bay and Bay People Inc. do not tolerate any kind of hate in our community, which is home to numerous Jewish families and Holocaust survivors.
We will keep you posted on the progress of the litigation and please support Bay People and our legal team so we may sustain our legal challenge!!!
