Iman Rouf Predicts Backlash from Mosque Controversy

From Yahoo! News, reporting that Imam Rauf fears moving the NYC mosque could inflame tension among Muslim and create a violent backlash.

EXCUSE MEEEEEEEEE! How dare Iman Rauf cautioning America that moving the infamous New York Mosque would create a violence backlash among Muslims. His very statement can inflame tensions and serve as a suggestion for Muslims to protest and commit violence.


NEW YORK – The Imam behind a proposed Islamic community center and mosque near ground zero cautioned Wednesday that moving the facility could cause a violent backlash from Muslim extremists and endanger national security.

Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf told CNN that the discourse surrounding the center has become so politicized that moving it could strengthen the ability of extremists abroad to recruit and wage attacks against Americans, including troops fighting in the Middle East .

"The headlines in the Muslim world will be that Islam is under attack," he said, but he added that he was open to the idea of moving the planned location of the center, currently two blocks north of the World Trade Center site.

"But if you don't do this right, anger will explode in the Muslim world," he later said, predicting that the reaction could be more furious than the eruption of violence following the 2005 publication of Danish cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.

Opponents say the center, which would include a Sept. 11 memorial and a Muslim prayer space, should be moved farther away from where Islamic extremists destroyed the World Trade Center and killed nearly 2,800 people. Supporters say religious freedom should be protected.

Rauf, 61, has largely been absent since the debate over the center erupted earlier this year. He has been traveling abroad, including taking a State Department-funded 15-day trip to the Middle East to promote religious tolerance.

In the interview with CNN's Soledad O'Brien, his first since returning to the U.S. on Sunday, Rauf responded to a number of questions that have been raised about the project.

He said money to develop the center would be raised domestically for the most part.

"And we'll be very transparent on how we raise money," he said, adding that no funds would be accepted from sources linked to extremists.

Rauf said that, in retrospect, he might have chosen a different location for what he described as a multifaith community center.

"If I knew this would happen, if it would cause this kind of pain, I wouldn't have done it," he said.

Bad Timing to Demonstrate Against Islamaphobia

If there is a condition called "Islamaphobia", which would seem to be a term invented to define an irrational dislike or fear of the Islam religion, this week would be a bad week to host a demonstration against this Islamaphobia.

Today's headlines blare about more U.S. Troops being killed in Afghanistan by radical Islamic fundamentalists.

Another headlines tells us that two Muslims were arrested on a transatlantic flight while on an apparent "dry run" to commit a terrorist act. They were arrested with cell phones taped to a Pepto-Bismal bottle obviously simulating a improvised explosive device.

Yet, Islamic groups plan to demonstrate today against Islamaphobia!?!.

They would be much better received if they stood up and demonstrated against terrorist and criminal acts being perpetuated in the name of Islam. Until then, as far as I am concerned, they are part of the problem and add nothing to the solution.

Just How “Moderate” Is Imam Rauf?

The Obama Adminstration and the left wing media is making Imam Rauf out to be a moderate Muslim, who wants to "heal" this Country by creating bridges between Islam and the American people. If so, why build a Mosque two blocks from the hallowed ground of 9-11? Why name the Mosque and Cultural Center, the "Cordoba Center" after an battle where Muslim defeated then ruled Europeans?

Imam Rauf is not the moderate he and the Libs make him out to be. Today on Fox News, a real moderate Muslim was translating Rauf's writing from Arabic and these would tell an entirely different story. We are attempting to find those translations. We won't be looking for them to come out of the White House not any left wing media publications.

From Gary Bauer's "End of the Day Report".

Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the man at the center of the Ground Zero mosque controversy, is about to be deployed overseas, courtesy of the United States taxpayer, at the request of the State Department. His month-long trip to the Middle East will purportedly “help people overseas understand our society and the role of religion within our society.”

State Department Spokesman P. J. Crowley described Rauf as a “distinguished Muslim cleric.” The media routinely refer to him as a “moderate” and a “bridge builder.” But just how moderate is Rauf?

This week, the Emergency Committee for Israel, which I co-founded with Bill Kristol, Rachel Abrams and others, posted a column about Rauf’s double standard on terrorism. Here is an excerpt of that column:

“Feisal Abdul Rauf, a self-styled champion of moderate Islam, was recently asked whether he thinks Hamas is a terrorist organization. ‘The issue of terrorism is a very complex question,’ he replied. When pressed, he insisted that ‘I will not allow anybody to put me in a position where I am seen by any party in the world as an adversary or as an enemy.’ But surely there should be no middle ground when it comes to Hamas, just as there can be no middle ground when it comes to Al-Qaeda.”

Terrorism should not be a “complex question” for anyone speaking on behalf of our State Department. By refusing to condemn Hamas, Rauf seems to embrace the view that terrorism against Israel is acceptable. Three weeks ago, I reported Rauf’s disgusting post-9/11 comment that “Osama bin Laden is made in the U.S.A.” Either of those statements ought to disqualify Rauf from representing this country overseas. But taken together, it requires, as Secretary Clinton once said, “the willing suspension of disbelief” to call Rauf a “moderate.”

More Mosque Fallout

The Left is getting nervous as the Ground Zero mosque controversy continues to dominate the news cycle. You can tell because liberals are again smearing opponents in a desperate attempt to shut down the debate.

On MSNBC’s “Moring Joe” today, former White House Communications Director Anita Dunn made the following assertion regarding the mosque controversy: “The Republican Party is solidifying its reputation for intolerance in this year, for almost any kind of difference in American society… whether it is around revisiting the 14th Amendment, whether it’s around immigration, or whether it is around this now [the Ground Zero mosque] – the race to the bottom means 2012 could be very, very depressing to watch. It’s almost like the party decided to update itself as the Know-Nothing version 2.0.”

I suspect Dunn and other liberals are getting depressed about the elections because they know Obama is going to lose badly if he continues insulting the common sense of the vast majority of Americans.

But for those who still don’t get it, would it be a good idea to let the German government build a Nazi museum next to a synagogue in Philadelphia? Would it be a good idea to allow Japan to build a Shinto shrine near Pearl Harbor? Would we tolerate a KKK headquarters near the place where Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated?

A bizarre combination of fear and political correctness is leading media and political elites to try to convince Muslims that they have nothing to fear from us. Radical Islamists attacked us on 9/11, yet many liberals feel it is up to us to prove to the Muslim world that we’re nice people.

A recent CNN poll found that nearly 70% of the public opposes the construction of a mosque at Ground Zero. Polls show overwhelming public support for Arizona’s anti-illegal immigration law, traditional marriage and less federal spending. You can’t ignore 70% of the country time and time again and expect folks to be happy about it. But Dunn and other left-wing elites have to add insult to injury by accusing us of being intolerant know-nothings.

The disconnect of our liberal elites is bad. But their arrogant insults and lectures about tolerance are insufferable.

Muslims Against The Mosque?

If left-wing elites want to portray conservative opponents of the Ground Zero mosque as intolerant Islamophobes, how do they explain Neda Bolourchi, Raheel Raza and Tarek Fatah – Muslims who oppose the mosque? Ms. Bolourchi lost her mother in the 9/11 attacks. She wrote a very moving editorial in the Washington Post last week describing the mosque as “a symbol of victory for militant Muslims around the world.”

Raza and Fatah are board members of the Muslim Canadian Congress. They recently wrote in the Ottawa Citizen, “we Muslims know the idea behind the Ground Zero mosque is meant to be a deliberate provocation to thumb our noses at the infidel.”

Are Neda Bolourchi, Raheel Raza and Tarek Fatah bigots too?

Islam: Got Questions? Get Answers,.....hardly

The below video was taken 21 June 2009 at an Arab festival in Dearborn, MI, long a high density area for Muslims.

This is a video of Nabeel Qureshi and David Wood asking questions at Arabfest. There was a booth at the festival which had a banner titled "Islam: Got Questions? Get Answers." From this booth, the video graphers picked up a pamphlet claiming that Islam promotes peace and believed that it was full of poor logic and errors, therefore decided to ask questions and video tape the Q & A session. They went to the booth that provided the pamphlet in order to give them the opportunity to defend their claims. Security, however, stepped in and bullied this video graphing crew until they had to leave.

If this video doesn't make your blood boil - I don't know what will. Political correctness and catering to the radical Islamics INSIDE THIS COUNTRY is just like building our own noose for a hanging.

I wanted to be there and ask the Muslims in "Security" t-shirts if they wanted to go down an alley and play "Cowboys and Muslims".
