The alleged interfaith "bridge builder" Feisal Abdul Rauf , the face of the Mosque of Triumph to be built near ground zero, is a bad actor and liar. I covered just some of his lies here.
He said while in Australia in 2006:
"We tend to forget, in the West, that the United States has more Muslim blood on its hands than al-Qaeda has on its hands of innocent non-Muslims. You may remember that the U.S.-led sanctions against Iraq led to the death of over half a million Iraqi children. This had been documented by the United Nations." He went on to say: "The West needs to see themselves through the eyes of the Arab and Muslim world, and when you do, you will see the predicament that exists within the Muslim community."
This is the knucklehead that is building religious and ideological bridges between Islam and the West?
The argument for the NY mosque is that it's a freedom of religion, first amendment thing. Islam is a combination of State rule and Sharia Law, with little reference given to salvation, love, hope and charity. It's primarily a secular movement with the object of subjugating everyone on the planet to their rule; it has little to do with religion. The second observation is the first amendment states the government will not establish a State Religion, which is opposite the Islamist goal; but it does not say any religion can put up a building anywhere. Zoning and all that.
In 1984 Cardinal Macharski, archbishop of Cracow, announced to the world that a Carmelite convent would be built on the grounds of Auschwitz. The convent would be converted from what was originally a theater, that was turned into the warehouse where the gas was stored that would eventually be used to slaughter about 1,100,000 of which 90% were Jews, the rest about 83,000 Poles, 19,000 gypsies, and 12,000 Soviet prisoners of war.
Jews found this extremely offensive, and from the announcement to 1993, there were a lot of arguments between Catholics and Jews. Poles\Catholics said they were also exterminated there, and Jews said not to such an extent as they had been; that the site was sacred ground to them. An agreement was made that the convent would be moved off site within two years. The Catholic Church and the Polish government dragged their feet for several years, but eventually they did get the convent moved. It was wrong of them to delay, and some nasty anti-Semitic things were said by some of the Catholic Church leadership, but still the agreement was fulfilled. The details of the story here.
The lesson here is respect for the emotions and values of others. The mosque is a disrespectful, even a blatant finger in the eye of America. The Islamofascist Feisal Abdul Rauf that is heading up the Cordoba Mosque project is connected to terrorist groups, and has said America is an "accessory" to the 9/11 attack, and refuses to say that Hamas is a terrorist organization. With that background he says he's a bridge builder between Islam and the West; indeed, the Bridge of Lies. Some background on this character here. In addition to being tied to terrorist groups, he has published a book What's Right with Islam Is What's Right with America, but outside America it's title is A Call to Prayer from the World Trade Center Rubble: Islamic Dawa in the Heart of America Post 9/11. A "dawa" is a stealth jihad; an aggressive promotion and marketing of Islam with the goal of conquering America. The mosque is just that, and only that. Rauf's book was published by two groups financed and supported by the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamic Society of North America and the International Institute of Islamic Thought. They and other affiliated terrorist jihad organizations are bent on "destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house".
A bridge builder indeed. He's using his 'Bridge of Lies' to destroy America, liberty, and Western Civilization. If Islam were the "religion of peace" that it claims to be, it would take a page from what the Catholic Church did in Auschwitz. They exercised good sense and sensitivity.
Feisal Abdul Rauf is the Islamofacist that's heading up the building of the mosque of triumph near ground zero. Liberals like Mayor Bloomberg and his cabal of nine city council members are all for the mosque, and apparently approve of Islams' honor killings, torture, beheadings, misogyny, homophobia and the rest of it. They just have a problem with TEA partiers and Christians.
Back to Rauf, he's being touted by these Liberal supporters of torture, murder, slavery and fascism, as a "moderate" Muslim.
Rauf:
“I wouldn’t say that the United States deserved what happened. But the United States’ policies were an accessory to the crime that happened.” ("60 Minutes" two weeks after 9/11)
From the same interview, on why US was an accessory: “Because we have been an accessory to a lot of innocent lives dying in the world. In fact, in the most direct sense, Osama bin Laden is made in the USA.”
From an interview Aaron Klein on 77WABC:
Aaron Klein: Do you believe that the state department is correct in designating Hamas as a terrorist organization?
Imam Rauf: Um, well, I mean. Look, I am not a politician. I try to avoid the issues of. The issue of terrorism is a very complex question. There was an attempt in the 90’s to have the UN define what terrorism and say who is a terrorist. There was no ability to find agreement on that… and I am a bridge builder.
Aaron Klein: But I am asking, is Hamas a terrorist organization?
Imam Rauf: Aaron, Aaron, my work, my work, I’ve defined my work as a bridge builder. I do not want to be placed, neither will I accept to be placed, in a position of being put in a position where I am the target of one side or another.
Remember the "Peace Flotilla" that tried and run the Israeli blockade? Turned out it was a political ploy to turn nations even more against Israel. Of course the anti-Semetic Leftist governments and international Jurassic Press fell for it. Once exposed for what it was it hard to find a retraction and apology to Israel. The flotilla was partially if not largely created and funded by Perdana Global Peace Organization, and Imam Rauf is a member of influence and good standing with this terrorist organization.
Ex-Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, founder of the Perdana:
"There is strong evidence that the [9/11 terrorist] attacks were staged. If they can make Avatar, they can make anything."
"There are forces in the United States which prevent the president from doing some things. One of the forces is the Jewish lobby… Jews had always been a problem in European countries. They had to be confined to ghettoes and periodically massacred. But still they remained, they thrived and they held whole governments to ransom. Even after their massacre by the Nazis of Germany, they survived to continue to be a source of even greater problems for the world."
Now the State Department is sending this Islamist on a world wide tour, on American taxpayers dime, for 'outreach' to Muslims. After the planned mosque itself, this is the next horrible thing. Of course the State Department also puts the well being of other countries ahead of America, so no surprise here. He said those things at a 2010 Pro-Palestinian conference.
We're glad The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) have filed a law suit to stop Rauf from this trip. They have also filed a law suit to stop the building of the mosque. Turns some of the land is leased from ConEd, and not owned by the mosque group at they have stated.
We want of course to see the funding. What terrorist groups and terrorist supporting countries will that expose?
The vid below is a "discussion" about the Islamic mosque to be put up a couple blocks from ground zero in New York City. My first comment is that the moderator/alleged journalist of the Jurassic Press keeps interrupting, challenging, defending and speaking for the Islamists. (I thought that the other guest was there to do that.) She lets the Muslim apologist make his case without the challenges and interruptions. She continued the challenges to, and attacks on Geller's view, in support of the Islamist apologist. Geller must be an uninformed stupid bigot don't ya know, and it takes two to prove it. This journalist should be fired for malpractice.
The rally spoken of took place later, with over 5,000 people according to police reports. A few hundred were expected. It was not covered by the Jurassic Press. They covered a gay\lesbian parade, or ran pre-programmed stories.
About promoting the mosque as a community cultural center open to all. There are already several mosques in NYC; most mosques nation wide preach, and are centers of violence, antisemitism and jihad. The main character behind the NYC mosque is Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, a major player in the Malaysian-based Perdana Global Peace Organization. It's the biggest donor ($336,000) to the Free Gaza Movement. The Free Gaza Movement was behind the set up to run the blockade recently in the news. The purpose of the blockade was to make it look like the Israelis were denying food and aid to Palestinians. The refutation of that lie here.
The $100 million dollar mosque will be financed by Muslim, primarily Arab countries. They want to build this religious structure here, while in their own countries no Christian Churches or Jewish Synagogues are allowed. In Indonesia, if you have Israel on your passport, you are not allowed entry. I'll be writing later of the rise of international antisemitism that has at its core the very countries that are financing this mosque.
A word about Cordoba, what will be the name of the proposed mosque. It was, during the Middle Ages, the Islamic caliphate of Iberia. This mosque is intended as a reestablishment of a caliphate here in the US. A caliphate is a system of federal government; a continuation of the political rule initiated by Mohamed. The Cordoba Caliphate imposed Islamic law and lasted for centuries. The proposed name for the NYC mosque is not accidental. The purpose of Islam is to make, to make, the whole world submit to Islamic law.
Sorry for the long intro, but the background of this proposed mosque was needed. Proposed and carried out by an Islamic jihadist\militant, financed by the anti Christian, antisemitic countries that finance international terrorism responsible for the death of thousands of innocents, by the organizers and financiers of the Islamofascist blockade running ship, named for a caliphate. See the trend here?
What if they tried to build a mosque, and nobody came?
