Mosab Hassan Yousef certainly sees through the BS, he was schooled in the Medinan way...
Since Islam is inherently political, how will Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf deal with the political fallout
Quote:
|
“And there are those who put up a mosque by way of mischief and infidelity - to disunite the Believers - and in preparation for one who warred against Allah and His Messenger aforetime. They will indeed swear that their intention is nothing but good; But Allah doth declare that they are certainly liars. " (Sura 9:107)

In order for Abdul Rauf not to be considered a liar, from a theological, legal, and doctrinal perspective, what must the GZ Mosque do in order to fulfill the spirit of “Mo-Alla” - in the way of building bridges to peace, as not to disunify the believers ?
Surah 9 pretty much validates the idea of conquest and holds the key to what the GZ Mosque is all about for true believers. Sura 9 is all about how big “Mo” had given his word and signed his name to building the bridges of peace through cultural centers and Mosques.
Go ye, then, for four months, backwards and forwards, (as ye will), throughout the land, but know ye that ye cannot frustrate Allah (by your falsehood) but that Allah will cover with shame those who reject Him. (Sura 9:2)
And then, “Mo-Alla” goes on to renege on his commitment…will Rauf do the same?
And an announcement from Allah and His Messenger, to the people (assembled) on the day of the Great Pilgrimage,- that Allah and His Messenger dissolve (treaty) obligations with the Pagans. If then, ye repent, it were best for you; but if ye turn away, know ye that ye cannot frustrate Allah. And proclaim a grievous penalty to those who reject Faith. (Sura 9:3)
How trustworthy is the word of an Imam whose messenger and god are willing to break their sworn oaths of peace and unity?
Sura 9:5 holds the key…
But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, an seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
