Black Muslims are no longer above the law

FrontPage Magazine: "A handyman working for the Black Muslim Bakery in Oakland has confessed to the shotgun slaying of Chauncey Bailey of the Oakland Post. Bailey, 57, was working on a story about the bakery, under investigation by police in connection with assaults, a kidnapping, two homicides, and a case of torture. The slaying has drawn national attention but with little attention to the back story: the way Oakland politicians, police and the media favored the Black Muslim bakery and its founder Yusef Bey.

Bey founded the bakery in 1968, followed by other business and a school. The efforts were initially well received but trouble soon followed. Beginning in the 1970s, Bey showed an eye for the ladies under the age of 14, including his own daughters. He avoided prosecution and courted favors with local officials, but in 2002 he was charged with 27 felony counts of rape and lewd conduct."
