Rauf is a sly underhanded liar...... he is a landlord of slum dwellings, and the people live like pigs under him..google it. He is not a king immam (is there one?) he is a liar and deceiver, as Islam demands him to be. His only task is to advance the death cult of Islam to the usa. We have lots of his type here in uk.
Looking at him gives me the shivers, hes evil.

BREAKING NEWS: Ground Zero mosque to move, source confirms ... http://placeitonluckydan.com/2...

Imam Rauf sings a different tune when he speaks in Arabic
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

Bingo:

... on Egyptian radio, he [Rauf] was telling them how to lure Americans, saying the way you reason with Westerners, is the way you deal with a girl that you want to date, you must cover yourself as a typical muslim, and appear as a Western[er[ and then you can engage"...that was his exact words."http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

Yeah yeah yeah...all this "we have to let em' build it to show we're capable of inclusion, blah, blah, blah..Eff that, man.  It's about sensitivity. I think anyone with any sensitivity would realize that the location would be like pouring salt in an open wound.  But apparently, they could give  a sh**. Muslims would win huge "inclusion points" if they simply deferrred and said "You know, we realize the connection, we realize the impact buliding on this location makes".  Maybe then people wouldn't get the impression they are a bunch of cold, heartless MF'ers, intent on rubbing 9/11 in our faces.  It would be a huge PR win for them.  But apparently, they could give a fu**. They don't need PR, they got our dumbed-down PC society.

He's not wrong. Republicans were looking for a wedge issue to capitalize on before the elections, and this was great fodder. Even politicians in the South felt the need to weigh in, despite knowing nothing at all about lower Manhattan or how far Park Place actually is from Ground Zero. So yes, Talk Radio, politicians like Lazio and Palladino, and yes, Fox News, sought to exploit the issue for personal gain. Laura Ingraham interviewed Daisy Khan on Fox News about a year before the controversy, and supported the idea. She had to flipflop when she realized it would draw more viewers if she railed against it.

A real low point in America and its ideals, IMO.

In other words, Imam Rauf is crying uncle and admitting - what we all knew by now - that the Ground Zero Mosque will never get built.  He's admitting defeat.  Geller and Spencer for the win.

And for all those of us who hate the way this went, keep in mind, you were all just celebrating a few days ago the legalization of gay marriage.  We have to keep winning battles like this one over the Mosque if we wish to keep a world where things like gay marriage are even possible.   

Think about it.  Just because Muslims are not evil heteronormative WASPs and gays aren't either doesn't mean that they can jointly be your allies in the fight against evil western patriarchy and/or oh-so-gauche red-statism. 

You're saying this is victory against the mosque? Park51 is a gay-friendly mosque!

Read their website. "Park51 will be open to all, regardless of religious, ethnic, racial, or sexual orientation."

Oh yeah, Park 51, the name they changed it to after you and your jihadi PR brothers found out that Americans really AREN'T that stupid, as we immediately knew that "Cordoba House" referred to the islamic TAKEOVER OF CATHOLIC SPAIN.

NO JIHADI MOSQUE NEXT TO GROUND ZERO.

You're dead wrong. Cordoba refers to a city in Spain under Moorish rule. Jews and Christians prospered under it; historians call it the "Golden Age of Judaism" since they had better treatment there than anywhere else in Europe at the time. Jews and Christians had guaranteed protected rights, including free tuition at universities and freedom of religion.

You fell for a right wing talking point and a lack of history knowledge.

You're the one pushing lies.

" Cordoba refers to a city in Spain under Moorish rule" AFTER IT WAS STOLEN BY MUSLIMS FROM CATHOLICS.
More like the "Golden age" of Jewish SLAVES living under the islamic dictatorships that raped and murdered tens of thousands of non-muslims.

YOU are pushing an islamist talking point and banking on the West having a lack of history knowledge.

We remember Lepanto, we remember the muslim attack on Constantinople, we remember Charles Martell and the Gates of Vienna, and we all know the 1300- years of history of muslim imperialist expansionism around the world and we won't let it happen again with your subterfuge at Ground Zero or on the battlefields around the world.

Islam is a death cult. 

"Personally, it was extremely painful to be portrayed as the opposite of what you are, when you’re branded as an extremist, as a terrorist, "

Cry me a river. For muslims it's always about THEIR "feelings". Tell us WHAT criticism  doesn't send muslims off on a killing spree? Not even CARTOONS!

On top of that, "imam" Rauf REFUSES to condemn Hamas as a terrorist organization, which even our arabist / muslim-brotherhood-tainted State Department acknowledges.

Watch the poor jumpers on that day of infamy and ask yourself, do you really think their last thoughts as they looked down were "oh, yes, right over there, THAT'S where we should build a MOSQUE!"?

you're anti-communist? What is this? 1950?

Are you anti papists too? Oh sorry, one century too early for you?

What are you,12, 14 years old? 

Exactly which "party" do you think runs China, Cuba, North Korea, supports Chavez in Venezuela, marches with red flags with the hammer and sickle in the UK and Greece, and supports the re-election of Obama and democrats?

Ah, the old guilt by association. So the KKK endorsed John McCain in 2008, does that mean McCain was evil? I guess they didn't teach critical thinking when you were in high school

Which way are you trying to distract us now, with your asinine comments? Your little useful, ignorant useful infidel above asked why my description says anti-communist and anti-jihad and implied there are no communists around since the 50's (or was he whining about McCarthy, WHO WAS RIGHT?).

And of course the Left supports jihad, as they look for any support they can find to rip out the backbone of the traditional Judeo-Christian West which stands against both jihad and communism.

"So the KKK endorsed John McCain in 2008, does that mean McCain was evil?"

Acccording to the idiot leftists here who suck at your 9/11 mosque teat, YES, but for those with an ounce of brains, the KKK ISN'T RUNNING ANY BILLION CITIZEN NATIONS WHO OWN OUR DEBT THE WAY THE CCP does.

"I guess they didn't teach critical thinking when you were in MADRASSA propaganda class, EH ACHMED?"

/fixed it.

Man you're so badly out of date. He condemned Hamas on CNN when Soledad O'Brien interviewed him. Here you have one of those actual "moderate Muslims" you hear so much about, being called some of the most hateful things in the book. 

Since you're going to bring up 9/11, did you know that there was an actual mosque in the WTC tower 2? Many of the victims in that attack were Muslims who worked there.

Oh ok then. That makes it ok for mussies to rape underage girls, lie, cheat, murder and dominate whole countries and areas abroad...its ok for them to chop off heads and hands and feet, and whip, and roast and crucify people. Its ok for them to give homosexuals a choice of five deaths...all well... becaue this lying bastard condemned hammas!!

Its ok, there already was a mosqe there, so lets build a fucking huge one as a victory to them bombing our people. This is WHAT THEY DO..they BUILD MOSQUES at points of triumph..are YOU so out of date mate that you dont know that?

"Man you're so badly out of date. He condemned Hamas on CNN when Soledad O'Brien interviewed him. "

Yes,  months (or years?) after being repeatedly asked to condemn Hamas, and finally realizing that many of the dumb jinos who were supporting him were uncomfortable with his support for Hamas, Rauf FINALLY changed his tune in an interview with a former MTV V-jay.

"Here you have one of those actual "moderate Muslims" you hear so much about, being called some of the most hateful things in the book."

Here's the facts on "moderate" muslims and "moderate islam":

Alija Itzbegovic, once Président of Bosnia, said to be "very moderate," stated in his 1970 Islamic Declaration: 

"There can be neither peace nor coexistence between the Islamic faith and non-Islamic social and political institutions. The Islamic movement must and can take over political power as soon as it is morally and numerically so strong that it can not only destroy the existing non-Islamic power, but also to build up a new Islamic one"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T...

.-Dr. Wafa Sultan, noted psychiatrist: 

"There is no moderate Islam…Islam is different from any other religion…. Islam is not a religion, Islam is a political ideology…"It seems to me sometimes it is much easier to make my point known rather in the Arab world then to penetrate the American mind. 

I can understand why. You are living by the American ethical code. You don't want to judge anybody based on their religious affiliation. But you need to understand that 

ISLAM IS NOT A RELIGION, ISLAM IS A VERY DANGEROUS POLITICAL IDEOLOGY.

"Since you're going to bring up 9/11, "

Rauf wants to put a jihadi victory mosque adjacent to Ground Zero with your support, and we are at fault for bringing up 9/11?

"did you know that there was an actual mosque in the WTC tower 2? '

It wasn't a mosque, it was a "prayer" room. You know, where you read your koran that demands:

"Allah is an enemy to unbelievers. - Sura 2:98

Slay them wherever ye find them and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. - 2:191

Fight against them until idolatry is no more and Allah's religion reigns supreme. (different translation: ) Fight them until there is no persecution and the religion is God's entirely. - Sura 2:193 and 8:39

"Many of the victims in that attack were Muslims who worked there."

And ALL OF THE VICTIMS IN THE ATTACK were killed by MUSLIMS. And muslim are never squeamish about killing their own. NOTE THE BOMBINGS EVERY DAY IN IRAQ AND PAKISTAN, muslim vs muslim, and blame the non-muslim.

I ask again, do you REALLY THINK THAT THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE JUMPING OUT OF THE WTC actually thought "YES, right there would be a PERFECT SPOT FOR A MOSQUE!" as they jumped to their deaths to avoid being burned alive because of highly educated and muslim-financed muslim jihadists?

PLEASE  ANSWER THE QUESTION.

Yes, that's it. Fox News is the root of all evil. 

9-11 wasn't caused by muslims, it was Fox News and Mossad operatives that set it up to make muslims look bad.

Excuse me while I go draw some mohammed cartoons. My parrot cage needs new lining at the bottom.
