Rauf’s tax-exempt mosque on W. 85th Street in Manhattan doesn’t exist
More duplicity and deception from this vaunted “moderate.” “Questions Raised About Rauf’s Nonexistent Mosque,” from IPT News, September 1: The federal government considers the Muslim group founded by Ground Zero Mosque leader Feisal Abdul Rauf to be a tax-exempt church.

Fitzgerald: Mayor Bloomberg: If Not Now, When?
Feisal Abdul Rauf at this point perhaps wishes he had never come up with his slyly all-things-to-all-men triumphalist mosque, and no doubt wishes as well that he had never gotten himself involved with fellow slumlord, the far cruder and more obviously bullying Sharif El-Gamal.

Iran, chief beneficiary of US incursion in Iraq, welcomes US pullout
And urges punishment for the “invaders.” The Thug-In-Chief didn’t even offer a word of thanks to Washington for all that the U.S. has done for Iran in Iraq. “Iran welcomes US pullout, urges punishment for Iraq invaders,” from AFP, September 1: TEHRAN: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad welcomed the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq but […]
Iraq: “The minority religious communities here have very little faith in the Iraqi forces; many are actually scared of them”
Trouble for religious minorities in Iraq is on the increase. “Remember religion’s role in Iraq,” by The Rev’d Canon Dr. Andrew P B White in the Washington Post, August 31 (thanks to AINA): The withdrawal of U.S. combat troops from Iraq is a significant event for the religious communities and those, who like me, serve […]
Back to school!
