Cordoba Initiative Imam Fesiel Abdul Rauf was not at Tuesday’s Landmark Commission hearing over the plan to tear down an 152-year old historical building and replace it with a mosque overlooking Ground Zero. Perhaps President Barack Obama had the State Department send Imam Rauf off again as an envoy to the Muslim world, as IslamOnline reports:
CAIRO – Sitting firmly in his seat with a determined look in his eyes, American Imam Feisal Abdul-Rauf appears resolved to bridge the gap between the West and the Muslim world. “My purpose is to spread harmony and peace between the West and the Muslim world,” Imam Abdul-Rauf, chairman of the Cordoba Initiative, told IslamOnline.net in an exclusive interview. “My role is to see how can my work help improve this relationship.”
…
Imam Abdul-Rauf is currently on a State Department-sponsored tour to build bridges. “This is part of it as the work is huge and can’t be done by one person or one organization,” he said. “It is also to share people like yourself the work that we do. We need people in the media and we need people to talk to understand what we do.” He defended the US government’s support for his organization.
Is it ’separation of church and state’ to send a sharia-compliant imam to build bridges to the Muslim world while filling his coffers to build a Cordoba House overlooking Ground Zero?
Former New York Governor George Pataki was asked this morning if this is a freedom-of-faith issue on Fox News:
Bill Hemmer: “Our Mayor says the government should keep out of religion. Is this the right example?”
Governor Pataki: “Yes. Government should keep out of religion but religion should not engage in [supporting] terrorist activity.”
All religions should be kept out of government.
Yet the Muslim Brotherhood has secretly worked here for five decades to destroy America from within. They advocate sharia law which, in Islamic countries: stones to death 14-year old girls and old women for “adultery;” flogs un-married couples found together un-chaperoned; excuses gangs that rape “immodest” women; tortures gays and hangs them from light poles; dismembers apostates; cuts the heads off those who speak against the Koran’s war-mongering and discriminatory passages; and levies a ‘devalue-added’ tax against all non-Muslims. They want religious freedom eliminated from this good earth in the name of Allah and America is their prime target.
Islam should not lord over where sharia-complying Muslims committed genocide and brave American heroes fell.
When Imam Rauf denounces da’wah, the Muslim Brotherhood, Egyptian Islamic Jihad, Hamas, Hezbollah, al Qaeda, political Islam, sharia, and 1400-year old hate-speech, I’ll bring my shovel and help break ground for his Cordoba House. Barring that, Rauf should stick his House of Da’wah in an Islamic-governed nation, but not anywhere in America where the light of liberty still shines.
This mosque battle was recently won by the town of Walkersville,MD. A shadowy “peaceful” group of Muslims from Pakistan/Silver Spring MD purchased a 265 acre farm from a guy who wanted a quick profit. They announced their intention to build a huge Islamic Center and to bring…get this…17,000 imams FROM OVERSEAS…for “cross cultural exchange” in America.
Now, for those of you who do not know where Walkersville, MD is, it is below Camp David, west of NSA/Ft. Mead, north of WDC…just a perfect location to attack. But they maintained they were a peaceful group persecuted in Pakistan who needed refuge.
They hired American lawyers at $500/hour to force it through. They hired PR firms. They used the usual canards…only racists and islamaphobes would oppose such a grand plan.
Fortunately, the mayor of Walkersville was a good ol’ boy who knew enough not to ever say words like “islam, muslim, terrorists, etc.” He took them on with zoning laws they would violate with their massive compound and how it would affect traffic, water, and other mundane topics.
He was accused of everything you are being accused of but he had the town behind him and…even though the American government (State Dept, etc.) and their toadey’s helped them (for example, the dopey Police Chief of Montgomery County wrote a letter supporting them saying they were good, peaceful citizens in Silver Spring) the town of Walkersville won in the sense that they prevented the “islamic center.”
But it cost them. They had to pay the scumbag who sold them the 264 acres and buy his land at an inflated cost for his economic loss.
Anyway,look up the Walkersville,MD battle.It has lessons for you.
Mayor Bloomberg needs to stand up as a Jewish American and stop this madness. This is digusting on every level. It would be similar to the KKK putting a cross on the African American Church or Neo-Nazis placing swastikas on the remains of concentration camps.
Even more so it would be similar to the building of the Dome of the Rock over the remains of the two great Jewish temples, which as recently as 10 years ago the PLO denied the existence of the temples.
We are doomed to repeat history…UNLESS WE ACT!
The tactics used here, building a mosque at the 9/11 website, and the State Department
helping, in my view, are similar to what the State Department did in the 2nd WW, -
withheld information as to what the Nazis were doing. I go along with Honest
Conservative, – “how can any American support this.

How can any American at all, any liberal American in particular support any politician or candidate who supports the takeover of any square foot of America that demands a behavior that requires the killing of women and homosexuals simply because of their faith.
According to Rauf, he has no interest in anything but subjigating American freedoms, why should we not believe him?
