Last Night, Thursday, July 30, 2015- Dr. Yahya Basha hosted a dinner inviting more than 100 community, political and interfaith leaders to discuss issues related to the community and the State of Michigan.
Attorney Barbara L. McQuade appreciated the opportunity and in her speech admired the contributions of the Muslim community to the rest of society and spoke about the danger of racism, terrorism and radicalization of the youth through the internet.
She spoke about a case of huge fraud in the medical field in Michigan and the way that one person made $34 million out of patients and insurance pocket.
The U.S. Attorney then opened the floor and answered the guests questions. Imam Elahi expressed his concern over some possible innocent doctors or staff who may have been working with that medical facility having no idea about the fraud and some of them may be under investigation! The Attorney general assured imam Elahi and the audiences that they never go with "he/she must have known", we make sure that no innocent gets hurt!
