Hamas-linked CAIR actually claims here, in a fine Orwellian twist, that to feature Islamic prayer rather than an “interfaith moment of silence” would be a gesture of “equality.” An update on this story. “Conn. Muslims ask for equality from city council,” by Everton Bailey, Jr., for the Associated Press, September 14 (thanks to Block Ness): […]
Islamic supremacist Imam Rauf: Ground Zero mosque site not “hallowed ground”
Nearly 3,000 dead at Ground Zero. The landing gear from one of the 9/11 planes severely damaging the building he wants to tear down to build his mega-mosque. But those things don’t make the ground hallowed ground. Maybe only the presence of a nice big triumphal mosque will do that. Feisal Abdul Rauf continues to […]
The fix was in: Ground Zero mega-mosque building owners nixed $18M offer before taking Islamic supremacists’ $4.8M one
Every day brings new revelations of how shady and dishonest the leaders of the Ground Zero mega-mosque initiative are, and how fishy the whole endeavor has been from the beginning. “Mosque building owners nixed $18M offer before taking $4.8M one,” by Isabel Vincent and Melissa Klein in the New York Post, September 5: The original […]
Islamic supremacist Ground Zero mega-mosque spokesman refuses to condemn Hamas jihad murders of four Israeli civilians
What a surprise. “Ground Zero Mosque Spokesman Refuses to Condemn Hamas Terrorist Attack,” by Michael Goldfarb in The Weekly Standard, September 1 (thanks to Israel Matzav): On the eve of peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, Hamas gunmen murdered four Israeli civilians, including a pregnant woman. Even for those who see nuance in […]
Muslims building mosque on Christian graveyard in Pakistan
No worries — no doubt they mean the mosque (which will of course be called Mandi Bhawaldin 51) to be a gesture of interfaith harmony, reconciliation and peace! Maybe it will even be a community center, with a gym and a swimming pool! “Muslims Resume Building on Christian Graveyard in Pakistan,” from Compass Direct News, […]
“Moderate” Ground Zero mosque Imam Rauf: “In a true peace, Israel will, in our lifetimes, become one more Arab country, with a Jewish minority”
Ground Zero mosque Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf’s “moderate” facade continues to be exposed as the exercise in deception that it is. He has said of Israel, according to audio revealed by Pamela Geller, that “a one-state solution is…more coherent…than a two-state solution.” By that, of course, he meant a Sharia state with Muslims holding all […]
71% of New Yorkers oppose Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero
How long will the political elites ignore the will of the people? “Poll: Most NYers want developers to move mosque,” from AP, August 31: ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — A new poll finds 71 percent of New Yorkers want the developers of an Islamic center and mosque near ground zero to voluntarily move the project. The […]
Gaddafi has a bright idea: “Islam should become the religion of all of Europe”
This is a political statement as much as a religious one, since Islam has and always has had a political character. Another take on this story. “Europe should convert to Islam: Gaddafi,” from AFP, August 31: ROME: Libyan leader Moamer Gaddafi’s visit to Rome to mark the second anniversary of a friendship treaty with former […]
Top Muslims Condemn Ground Zero Mosque as a ‘Zionist Conspiracy’
In a recent article, I argued that the Ground Zero mosque is counterproductive to Islam. The following day, on August 5th, the Egyptian newspaper Al Masry Al Youm reported that none other than Al Azhar — one of Sunni Islam’s most authoritative institutions — agrees. My translation of the relevant excerpt follows: A number of […]
State Dept “aware” of Ground Zero Imam Rauf’s Islamic supremacist remarks, but doesn’t care
The renowned “moderate” Imam of the Ground Zero mega-mosque is suffering from some cracks in his facade of moderation. Pamela Geller broke the story here: among many other incendiary statements, Rauf said, “We tend to forget, in the West, that the United States has more Muslim blood on its hands than al Qaida has on […]
