Ground Zero Imam Heading to Saudi Arabia, UAE

August 7, 2010 - by Claudia Rosett

Next stops for Feisal Abdul Rauf, imam of the plan for a mosque and Islamic center near Ground Zero: Courtesy of the U.S. State Department, Rauf — a.k.a. Imam Feisal – is scheduled to spend the rest of the summer on a swing through the petro-dollar palaces of Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Bahrain, and Qatar.


For more details, here’s the column in which yesterday evening I broke this bit of news (I have not found it reported anywhere else so far — which leaves me wondering why, amid the emoting and editorializing splashed all over the MSM by defenders and commenders of Rauf, no one seems to be asking where he’s actually disappeared to): “Further Travels of Imam Feisal.”

Rauf’s summer itinerary suggests odd priorities for a man who, in the name of harmony and bridge-building, has stirred up a furious debate in the U.S. — and then quietly left the country last month, leaving many questions unanswered about such matters as where and how he plans to raise the $100 million he’ll need to realize his dream of a high-rise Islamic hub right up the street from where the Twin Towers stood.

Neither Rauf nor the State Department seems eager to publicize his summer trip to Saudi Arabia and points nearby, though his tour appears imminent — as in, he’ll probably be touching down in the Middle East this coming week, and he’s not due back till early September. My source for this information is the New York office of his Cordoba Initiative foundation, and his wife and co-director at the Cordoba Initiative, Daisy Khan. But they didn’t exactly volunteer the information unbidden. Rauf himself came briefly to the phone last week, at his Cordoba Initiative office in Malaysia, when I tracked him down there on a hunch — after his New York office said he was traveling, not feeling well, and could not be reached. As soon as I asked about funding, he said he was in an “important meeting,” and got off the phone.

Since then, Rauf has been “unavailable” at his Cordoba Initiative office in the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur. When I phoned there and asked for him earlier this week, one of his assistants told me: “All media requests have to go through his office in New York.” At the New York office, I was told they were giving no more interviews, and for questions about the Malaysian office, I was referred back in a circle to the Cordoba Initiative in Malaysia. Finally, uninvited and with no appointment, I called the mobile phone of his wife and work partner, Daisy Khan. In answer to my specific questions, she said that Rauf was about to visit Saudi Arabia, etc., on a trip hosted by the State Department. In response to further questions, she allowed as how the State Department was sending her, as well, on a trip to Dubai and Abu Dhabi later this month. She said there would be no fund-raising on these trips. But no one at the Cordoba Initiative seems ready to rule out the possibility of taking large sums of money from these places, should it at some point happen to be offered.

As for the State Department: After three days of my repeated questions and phone calls, State by Friday’s close of business had yet to provide any response to my request for confirmation of Rauf’s trip, Khan’s trip, or details about their State-sponsored summer outreach excursions to the Middle East. Apparently, it takes quite a while at State to get “clearance” for disclosure to the American public of such basic details as who, exactly, is engaging in public outreach at our expense and on our behalf.

Anyway, in the quest to discover Where in the World is Imam Feisal? — it looks like after his sojourn in Malaysia he’ll be turning up soon in Doha, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Manama, and Riyadh. Whom he or his wife will meet with on their State-sponsored bridge-building tours, how their expenses will be handled, whether they will be paid any fees or honoraria, and what other arrangements have been made on their behalf are all matters that State apparently finds it a bridge too far to disclose. Why? New York’s Mayor Michael Bloomberg may find all this to be of absolutely no interest — see Bill Kristol’s terrific editorial, “Shut Up, He Explained.” But there are a lot of Americans, most of them not billionaires a-la-Bloomberg, who think that sometimes money, and its origins, does matter. When is Feisal Abdul Rauf planning to fill us in on the real sources of all funds flowing toward the coffers of his projects near Ground Zero?

Germany shuts 9/11 plotters' mosque in Hamburg

Police raided the mosque on Monday and hunted for evidence of jihadist activities
German police have shut down the Hamburg mosque where the 9/11 hijackers met before their suicide attacks on the US in 2001.

Police said they believed the Taiba mosque was again being used as a meeting point for extremists.

The cultural association that runs the mosque has also been banned.

A German intelligence report last year said radical Muslims had travelled to military training camps in Uzbekistan after associating at the mosque.

"We have closed the mosque because it was a recruiting and meeting point for Islamic radicals who wanted to participate in so-called jihad or holy war," said Frank Reschreiter, a spokesman for Hamburg's state interior ministry.

He said 20 police officers had been searching the building and had confiscated material, including several computers, the Associated Press reported.

There was no announcement of any arrests.

'Major hub'

The mosque, formerly called the al-Quds Mosque, in Hamburg's St Georg district has been under surveillance since the 2001 attacks.

A recent intelligence report described the mosque as "a major hub for the jihadist scene in Hamburg", which it said included 45 radical Islamists.

US investigators say an al-Qaeda cell based in Hamburg masterminded the 9/11 attacks, in which hijackers crashed two planes into the World Trade Center in New York, one into the Pentagon in Washington, and one crashed in a field in Pennsylvania.

About 3,000 people died in the attacks - the worst acts of terror carried out on US soil in modern times.

I been gone five days and in those five days it included a drive to NY. I had plenty of time to listen to local talk radio. The people in the Cities in the North East live in a different world then most Americans.
The same people Bloomberg is supporting in building this Mosque are the same people who will be voting on giving him a third term. I am talking about the civic groups/Council Members who voted on not making the old Coat Factory a Historic Landmark. Not the Muslims who want the Mosque.
If it is built, and it will more then likely be built. It will be celebrated and perceived as a great victory for our enemies around the world. We will be perceived as weak. Islam prays on weakness.
No one gave a rats ass about the danish Cartoons. It wasn't until the Danish apologized when the riots and protest started up in full force. The fact is many of the people who will worship in this Mosque are the same ones who cheered when the towers fell.

US State Dept Sends Mosque Imam to Mideast


August 9, 2010 - 7:01 PM | by: Jake Gibson

WASHINGTON– State Department officials on Monday confirmed Feisal Abdul Rauf, the Imam of the so-called Ground Zero Mosque, will soon be going on a trip of the Middle East and the U.S. government will be picking up the tab.

The planned construction of a mosque near Ground Zero in New York City has set off a contentious national debate over religious freedom in the U.S., drawing impassioned opposition from some families of 9/11 victims.

Rauf has emerged as a controversial figure because of his refusal to acknowledge Hamas as a terrorist organization, which is how the U.S. government classifies the group. The imam also has been quoted as saying U.S. foreign policy was in part responsible for the 9/11 attacks.

“He is a distinguished Muslim cleric,” said State Department Spokesman P.J. Crowley. “We do have a program whereby, through our Educational and Cultural Affairs Bureau here at the State Department, we send people from Muslim communities here in this country around the world to help people overseas understand our society and the role of religion within our society.”

Rauf and his partners are preparing to build a $100 million Islamic center and mosque near Ground Zero, where on September 11, 2001 two airliners hijacked by al-Qaeda terrorists, slammed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center, killing nearly 3,000 innocents.

The project, known as Park 51, cleared a final hurdle on August 3rd, when decision by New York City’s Landmarks Preservation Commission cleared the way for construction. The tower could span up to 15 stories and will house a mosque, a 500-seat auditorium and a pool.

The State Department has not yet divulged a detailed itinerary of Rauf’s trip, although Arab media is reporting he will visit the oil rich states of Saudi Arabia, The United Arab Emirates and Abu Dhabi.

“It is to foster greater understanding and outreach around the world, among… Muslim- majority communities,” said Crowley. “We've done this many, many times, with many leading figures… over the past few years.”

The project has also drawn outspoken criticism from Sarah Palin who famously tweeted, “Peace-seeking Muslims, pls understand, Ground Zero mosque is UNNECESSARY provocation. It stabs hearts.”

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has forcefully defended the project as a symbol of America’s religious tolerance.

Given your threat assessment, if you were 'king for a day,' what would be America's grand strategy?

I would have the State Department send John Hagee to visit Jerusalem, Ephesus, And the Sea of Galilee


ETA - Had to take the better half and daughter out to dinner Sigaba, sorry for the late response.

Although I have little more than a HS education, my short military experience, a CC trade education, and my life experiences - it may not mean much to you considering you are an educated scholar. BUT, if I were "King" for a day, I would start by implementing the following strategery.

My Proclaimation to the Muslim world, and countries who have succumbed, and to those states who are in the process of relenting to the Supremacist Ideology of Islam (Sharia) would be this - if they were truly interested in building bridges of diversity and freedom:

1) STOP funding terrorism against the Kafiroon - we are reevaluating our ME policy. Separate your Church and State NOW, and allow your people to speak freely.

h1.1 Zakat is obligatory

(a) for every free Muslim (O: male, female, adult or child):
h8.17 The seventh category is those fighting for Allah, meaning people engaged in military operations {Jihad} for whom no salary has been allotted …

(Reliance of the Traveller, pages 244-274)


2) STOP the ongoing RIDDA (ارتداد, irtidād) wars that continue this very day which are so prevelant throughout your regions. STOP the theo-politcal systems of legally mandated hatred which is nothing more than state sponsored legalized MURDER of the innocent:

c2.5 The unlawful (haram) is what the Law-giver strictly forbids. Someone who commits an unlawful act deserves punishment, while one who refrains from it out of obedience to the command of Allah is rewarded.
(3) and unbelief (Kufr), sins which put one beyond the pale of Islam (as discussed at o8.7) and necessitate stating the Testification of Faith (Shahada)…
o8.2 In such a case, it is obligatory for the caliph (A: or his representative) to ask him to repent and return to Islam. If he does, it is accepted from him, but if he refuses, he is immediately killed
(A: though if there is no Caliph (def: o25), no permission is required.
o8.7 (2) to intend to commit unbelief, even if in the future. And like this intention is hesitating whether to do so or not: one therby immediately commits unbelief:
(The Reliance of the Traveller)

3) STOP State sponsored legally mandated BIGOTRY, the club of "Mo-Allah" does not have the market cornered on morality:

w4.0 THE FINALITY OF THE PROPHET’S MESSAGE

(1) Muhammad (Allah bless him and give him peace) is the last prophet and messenger. Anyone claiming to be a prophet or messenger of Allah after him or to found a new religion is a fraud, misled and misleading.

(2) Previously revealed religions were valid in their own eras, as is attested to by many verses in the Holy Koran, but were abrogated by the universal message of Islam, as equally attested to by many verses of the Koran. Both points are worthy of attention from English-speaking Muslims, who are occasionally exposed to erroneous theories advanced by some teachers and Koran translators affirming these religions’ validity but denying or not mentioning their abrogation, or that it is unbelief (KUFR - Kafiroon) to hold that the remnant cults now bearing the names of formerly valid religions, such as “Christianity” or “Judaism,” are acceptable to Allah Most High after He has sent the final messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) to the entire world (dis: o8.7(20).

The penalty for Kufr = DEATH

4) STOP State sponsored legally mandated RACISM under Sharia, which you so willingly uphold as the law of your land - and allow the HEBREWS, as well as the Kafiroon entry into your governments to hold key positions, and allow the HEBREWS, and Kafiroon legal migration (Hijra) into your lands, and PROTECT them. Allow talented musicians, like Lenny Kravitz, David Lee Roth, Gene Simmons, and Gene Klein to hold charity Rock Concerts to raise money for Women's Rights, and for the families who have lost loved ones for the penalty of Kufr - in which the concerts are to be held within one blocks distance from the "Black Stone"

Until the above criteria are met, we will no longer enable your endeavors (feeding the crocodile). Therefore, we will no longer provide relief, aide, or military technology/assistance of any form to be introduced into any country that has the slightist notion of implementing the Supremacist Ideology of Islam's Sharia. American Zakat of any form will not be allowed to be given overseas.

5) All remaining "stimulus" money will be diverted for energy exploration (OIL), the expansion of new and existing refineries, and alternative energy sources - we will rid ourselves of ME Oil, as well as other providers. Energy Policy will be put in place that doesn't reqiure drilling in 5,000 ft of water.

6) ALL GOVERNMENT SOCIAL WELFARE systems in place will be scrutinized and eventually CUT (privatized), the funds will be diverted to energy policy, and to our nations "Common Defense" - which is in the general welfare of our nation - we will work TOWARDS balancing our budget.

7) My team of financial experts (nmap, Penn, and the financial gurus of PS.com) will remove ALL obstacles for business to flourish in this country. :-)

This is all I have time for since we just finished a "Rapid Response" - I'm not holding my breath...

NY governor offers help moving ground zero mosque
By MICHAEL GORMLEY (AP) – 3 hours ago

ALBANY, N.Y. — New York Gov. David Paterson offered state help Tuesday if the developers of a mosque near the site of the Sept. 11 attacks agree to move the project farther from the site.

Paterson, a Democrat, said that he doesn't oppose the project as planned but indicated that he understands where opponents are coming from. He said he was willing to intervene to seek other suitable state property if the developers agreed.

"I think it's rather clear that building a center there meets all the requirements, but it does seem to ignite an immense amount of anxiety among the citizens of New York and people everywhere, and I think not without cause," Paterson said in a news conference in Manhattan.

The developers declined to comment. Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who last week made an impassioned defense of the project planned for lower Manhattan, declined to comment through a spokesman.

"I am very sensitive to the desire of those who are adamant against it to see something else worked out," Paterson said.

Paterson said he expects the state Public Service Commission, which must sign off on the Corboda Initiative's project, to follow the law and not politics in its review.

Paterson noted that "we really are still suffering in many respects" from Sept. 11 and that impassioned feelings were bound to emerge from a mosque just a couple of blocks from where nearly 3,000 people died at the hands of Muslim extremists.

He noted that Muslims died in the Sept. 11 attacks, too, and that "we have to remember that sometimes it's the fanaticism of religion that have driven people to do what they do, not the worship of the religion itself."

Supporters of the cultural center, including some Jewish activists, argue the aim of the Cordoba Initiative is to improve understanding of Islam. They point out that Muslims worshipped in the same area for a long time before the 13-story, $100 million proposal became public in May and was the subject of public hearings in the city and debate on television and radio nationwide.

Opponents note that the center will replace a building damaged by the landing gear of a jet that slammed into the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. They say the religion that fueled the hatred in the terrorists shouldn't be displayed so near to the site and in a place New Yorkers will have to pass daily.

A city board cleared the way for the existing building to be razed to make way for the center, which is to include athletic and arts facilities and be dedicated to peace and tolerance. Critics are suspicious of who will fund the project, and developers haven't released their sources of capital.

Carl Paladino, a Republican candidate for governor, said the plan is "no different than Japan asking to build a memorial to kamikaze pilots next to the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor."

Bloomberg argues, though, that it "would be untrue to the best part of ourselves, and who we are as New Yorkers and Americans, if we said no to a mosque in lower Manhattan."

The State Department said Tuesday that the imam behind the center was being sent on a religious outreach trip to the Middle East, a plan that predated the controversy.

The department is sponsoring Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf's visit to Qatar, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, where he will discuss Muslim life in America and promote religious tolerance, department spokesman P.J. Crowley said.

"We have a long-term relationship with him," Crowley told reporters, noting that Rauf had visited Bahrain, Morocco, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar in 2007 and went to Egypt last January as part of a State Department exchange program.

A Marist College poll released Tuesday found that 53 percent of New York City voters polled oppose constructing the mosque there. Just 34 percent favored the plan in the poll, which also showed a slide in Bloomberg's traditional high approval ratings.

The Marist poll surveyed 696 New York City voters July 28 through Aug. 5 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

American Center for Law and Justice Calls on State Department to Cancel Tax-Funded Middle East Trip by Controversial Imam

Tuesday, August 10, 2010
By Penny Starr, Senior Staff Writer

(CNSNews.com) – The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) on Tuesday called on the U.S. State Department to remove Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf from a taxpayer-funded trip to Muslim countries, citing his controversial views about the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

While the State Department has not released a statement on the issue, spokesman P.J. Crowley said on Monday, “I think we are in the process of arranging for him [Rauf] to travel as part of this program. And it is to foster a greater understanding and outreach around the world among Muslim majority communities.”

Crowley also said of Imam Rauf, “He is a distinguished Muslim cleric. We do have a program whereby through our Educational and Cultural Affairs Bureau here at the State Department, we send people from Muslim communities here in this country around the world to help people overseas understand our society and the role of religion within our society.”

Imam Rauf is seeking to build an Islamic community center, the Cordoba House, about two blocks from Ground Zero in Manhattan. Imam Rauf is controversial, in part, because two weeks after the 9/11 attacks, he told CBS’ 60 Minutes, “I wouldn’t say that the United States deserved what happened. But the United States’ policies were an accessory to the crime that happened.”

When then asked by CBS’ Ed Bradley in that Sept. 30, 2001 interview to explain “how” America was an accessory to the 9/11 attacks, Imam Rauf said, “Because we have been an accessory to a lot of innocent lives dying in the world. In fact, in the most direct sense, Osama bin Laden is made in the USA.”

Also, while the U.S. State Department has labeled Hamas (Islamic Resistance Movement) as a terrorist organization, Imam Rauf apparently has declined to say whether he agrees with that designation.

The trip overseas is sponsored through the Educational and Cultural Affairs Bureau of the State Department. Crowley said on Monday that “the itinerary is still being worked” and that Imam Rauf “is by no means the only Muslim religious figure in this country to participate in the program.”

Jay Sekulow, chief counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), said of the apparent trip, “This shows a tremendous lack of judgment on behalf of the State Department and for the American taxpayers to be funding this global journey is not only wrong, but deeply offensive.”

The ACLJ is representing a New York City firefighter who survived the 9-11 attacks and who opposes the construction of the proposed Islamic community center near Ground Zero.

“It seems with each passing day we learn more disturbing information about this project and the people behind it,” said Sekulow. “We demand that the State Department put a halt to the Imam's participation in this publicly funded trip.”

The ACLJ is planning to file an official letter of protest with the State Department, demanding that the government “cease and desist” in its plans to sponsor Rauf on the trip.

The ACLJ already has filed suit in New York challenging a vote by the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC), which denied landmark status to the building where the imam wants to build the community center, which many critics view will essentially be a mosque.

The lawsuit, filed last week, charges that the Landmarks Preservation Commission violated the New York City Charter and the New York City Administrative Code.

Among the assertions made in the suit: the Landmarks Commission failed to properly review the record on the issue of landmarks status and to consistently apply administrative precedent; it acted hastily in voting to deny landmark status; and it failed to acknowledge the significance of the site as a historic and hallowed landmark from the attacks of 9/11 that killed 2,985 people.

Below is the transcript from Monday’s press briefing at the State Department concerning the proposed trip and Imam Rauf.

QUESTION: “P.J., there’s a report in Forbes that Feisal Abdul Rauf, the imam of the so-called Ground Zero Mosque, is going on a trip to the Middle East. It’s basically to bring peace – moderation, and peace, and understanding to the region. And the claim by his people is that it’s a U.S. government-supported trip. Do you know or rather is the U.S. Government supporting this trip? And would there be any problem with that in light of the – that this could be used as a fundraising – also simultaneously for fundraising for a controversial project?”

MR. CROWLEY: “He is a distinguished Muslim cleric. We do have a program whereby through our Educational and Cultural Affairs Bureau here at the State Department, we send people from Muslim communities here in this country around the world to help people overseas understand our society and the role of religion within our society. I think we are in the process of arranging for him to travel as part of this program. And it is to foster a greater understanding and outreach around the world among Muslim majority communities. But there are strict procedures as to the kind of activity that occurs during the course of this travel. I think this is exactly what we’ve presented it as. And we’ve done this many, many times with many leading figures since – over the past few years.”

QUESTION: “And is it just him and can you give me any guidance to the itinerary or the cost?

MR. CROWLEY: I think the itinerary is still being worked. And he is by no means the only Muslim religious figure in this country to participate in the program.”

QUESTION: “And how about just that last point about whether – there’s been reports in some Arabic language media that he plans to fundraise for the Islamic center and mosque overseas. Might he be –“

MR. CROWLEY: “Again, I will double check. But that would not be something he could do as part of our program.”

Given your threat assessment, if you were 'king for a day,' what would be America's grand strategy?

8) As "King", I will appoint a bi-partisan commision of Scientists and Scholars to evaluate demoting Islams status as a religion.

Why you may ask? Here's why: The religion of Islam is like a rainbow. It is a political system, culture, and a religion (spiritual) - a supremacist ideology that divides the world in two spheres, Dar al-Islam and Dar al-Harb, where it's practitioners are mandated to carry out its justice, not in the heavenly (spiritual) sense, but in the earthly (carnal) sense. The religion part is what is required for a Muslim to avoid Hell and enter paradise. The political system of Islam determines the treatment of Kafiroon (promotes RACISM, BIGOTRY, HATE, and MURDER) and the governance of Muslims - the theo-political aspect cannot be separated.

Apologists who argue that Islam is moderate, or folks like me who argue the practitioners of Islam (terrorists) are not violating the tenets of their faith, fail to see the full spectrum of its political system. I see the rainbow as RED (violent), and other folks see the rainbow as green (peaceful). No rainbow is red or green, it is all of those colors and more. You can no more remove the aggression from Islam (Red) than you can the green (peace). The only way to evaluate Islam is to look at it as a whole. Islam defies logic and is profoundly dualistic. Therefore, Islam should be reduced to an ideological club (like Nazism) that promotes Hate, Bigotry, Racism, and murder...
