Meet the imam behind "Ground Zero mosque"...
The title of Rauf's 2005 book in Malaysia translates as: A Call to Prayer from the World Trade Center Rubble: Islamic Dawa in the Heart of America Post-9/11. This link will lead you to the chapter entitled, "America: A Sharia-Compliant State." There Rauf writes:
For America to score even higher on the "Islamic" or "Shariah Compliance" scale, America would need to do two things: invite the voices of all religions to join the dialogue in shaping the nation's practical life, and allow religious communities more leeway to judge among themselves according to their own laws.
Yep, that's right: According to Rauf, we Americans need to become more Islamic and to allow "religions" (i.e., ISLAM) to shape our politics and to govern themselves (i.e., ISLAM) by their own laws (i.e., SHARIA).
Sorry, but this American has NO interest in her country becoming more Islamic or sharia-compliant.
According to Diana West, "hidden material" from Rauf's website on the Shariah Index Project defined its "goal" as to "define, interpret and implement the concept of the Islamic state in modern times." West also says:
Since 2006, Rauf has coordinated a series of international meetings with Shariah experts ranging from Muslim Brotherhood associates to Iran's Mohammad Javad Larijani, "who," as Brim reports, "has justified torture of Iranian dissidents as legal punishments under Shariah law."
That's not all Larijani, who heads Iran's Human Rights Council (for real), has justified. He has also justified Shariah-sanctioned stoning. As Anne Bayefsky recently reported, Rauf's picture with Larijani (and former U.S. Ambassador to the Organization of the Islamic Conference Sada Cumber) disappeared from the Cordoba Initiative Web site, too.
So much to hide - but the Shariah is out of the bag.
And here's an interesting little tidbit from MSNBC:
Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf...worked with...former Clinton Secretary of State Madeleine Albright on a task force five years ago for the Council on Foreign Relations [CFR].

|2010-08-18 23:25:30 Jeff HansenI'm glad to see that this issue has finally become a political issue with the attention it deserves.
We already have plenty of religiously run hellholes in the middle east as real world exhibitions of what this idiot thinks we should be. Funny thing...even muslims seem to prefer our godless west to Islamic slave-states & have voted with their feet in the millions.
Sorry Rauf, like communism, this stupid little scheme has been tried way too many times & has produced nothing but failure, suffering, & mass death. This isn't Holland. We won't be having it here.

|2010-08-19 11:27:21 tarish kaushik - face-off between the abrahamic monotheistic desertThe fight to the finish between the mythical desert cult dragons of christianity and it's stepbrother islam is going to be protracted, and the battlefields are spread all over the world and in the minds of humans.
Christianity will need all the allies it can hustle over to it's side.
The mind's of free humans however will need to think further ahead after islam is dead and buried into the ground.
Reason, logic, integral humanism, equity, and sustainable technology and an economy which nurtures the entire biodiversity, are the need of the future.

|2011-01-27 23:23:20 d.e.goodman - "After Islam is dead?"If you research how many Muslims there are these days, as well as how many there WILL BE, I can only hope you are right about that. I fear though, logica dictates otherwise. They are multiplying like ants! Every other culture and religion is on the decline and Islam is adding like bunny-rabbits! I don't like it, but that is what is happening throughout the world. THEY are spreading like wild-fire. Their numbers are increasing throughout the Planet. They will, very soon, take over even the Roman Catholics. Even though, Catholicism, in my opinion, is led by the same EVIL. The very HARLOT spoken of in Revelation. aka "The 1st Beast that was "wounded." Who's "wound healed," and "the whole world worshiped after Her." I never heard of Buddhists starting a war! Or Hindu's. Only "the God of Abraham," seems to LOVE bloodshed.

|2010-08-25 19:52:24 NeophyteImam Rauf in his book absurdly tries to equate Islamic law with American sensibilities.
He states, ". . . the American political system is Shariah compliant." This is prima facie ridiculous. He espouses that religions can conference in harmony to formulate America's "practical life". This is the typical fantasy of an Abrahamist cleric, that he has some elevated capability to define legal constraints and privileges for everyone else. What is worse, the fantasy devolves further with assertions that American tradition provides the best context to do so.
We can reason our self-governance from objective secular observation about mutual protection and human rights, thank you very much. The last thing we need is Islamic law to inform us how to do so.
It is a great pity that a community facility in that location was not authorized by the Red Cross or some other irreligious service organization than something deriving from Islam, Christianity, or Judasim.

|2010-08-25 21:03:28 NancyTony Cartalucci's The Anatomy of a Globalist Propaganda Operation has exposed the facts that the New York "Imam" Faisal Abdul Rauf, the frontman for the near ground zero mosque, is a CFR member and that his Cordoba Initiative and the American Society for Muslim Advancement are at least partly funded by the usual suspects in the 'new world disorder' including the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Brothers, Rockefeller Philanthropy, and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.
Of course the main stream media has 'failed' to inform us of this little bit of information in their nonstop fearmongering and freedom of religion 'reporting.' It's hard to spin the CFR as either neocon or neolib because its members are comprised of both as well as a who's who list of criminal globalist bankers and corporations.
Whether Rauf is a CFR globalist stooge or a willing participant in a pre-planned and ongoing Hegelian dialectic conspiracy remains to be seen. The effect is still the same; division among Americans to distract them from the ongoing economic thefts, neverending wars and loss of constitutional freedoms.
Who benefits? Again, the CFR corporate members are the most obvious but that's just the short list. Those who profit from the so called "Clash of Civilizations" are many and varied.
No discussion of the major benefactors of this 'clash' would be complete without mention of Israel and their zionist supporters. The goal of 'Greater Israel' and indeed the continued existence of this rogue state depends on the contrived concept of us (the western world) vs. them (the Muslim world). The new peace process will be derailed, Israeli expansion and genocide will continue and the U.S.will go on bleeding to death from the wounds of blackmail and bribery inflicted by our 'best friend' in the Middle East.
The New York mosque conspiracy, which includes the false 'official' 9/11 narrative, will continue until the 'think tanks' decide there needs to be a resolution. Then there will something else along the same lines to distract us. There always is. The bankers, war profiteers and the CFR will see to it.

|2011-01-27 23:23:48 d.e.goodman - NancyKnows exactly what she's talking about. Why-is-it Congress doesn't see like she can? I love my peace and quiet. It is all I INSIST on. Can you just imagine listening to those fools at 4:30 AM singing that terrible sh*t they spew so early in the morning? I don't understand HOW they put up with it?
Take Moslems for example, despite thier complete innocense of 911 and any and all terrorism charges made by Christian and Jews, they never stood up and presented evidences they have to the world, they simply played along, as expected of them and acted in ways to help the deception and the master plan, I mean in every detail that I could care less to mention here, but here is just one of them. You can only look for the day when all will be exposed and it is too late, it is already is way into the master plan and the only looser are the human idiot.
