Obama adviser: U.S. 'ideal place for renewal of Islam'

A religion adviser to President Obama has close ties to the imam who wants to build a 13-story Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero. The two have been documented together discussing America as "the ideal place for a renewal of Islam," WND has learned.

In February, Obama named a Chicago Muslim, Eboo Patel, to his Advisory Council on Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships. Patel is the founder and executive director of Chicago-based Interfaith Youth Core, which says it promotes pluralism by teaming people of different faiths on service projects.

Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the controversial Muslim leader behind the plan to build the Islamic center and mosque two blocks from Ground Zero, wrote the afterward to Patel's 2006 book, "Building the Interfaith Youth Movement: Beyond Dialogue to Action."

Patel is listed as one of 15 "Muslim Leaders of Tomorrow" on the website for the American Society for the Advancement of Muslims, or ASAM, which is led by Rauf.

In Patel's 2007 book, "Saving Each Other, Saving Ourselves," he recounts discussing with Rauf the future of Islam in the U.S.

The deception by muslims is that islam is a religion when it is far more. It is a violent political ideology with its own court system demanding strict adherence by all including non muslims. Religion is only one component used to impose islam on non muslim societies. Islam is anathema to the U.S. Constitution. The two cannot coexist.

There is a huge war going on, however, mainly pro islamic by the fearless leader of the US in his crusade for his religion.

It is interesting to note that it is now open conversation as to how backwards Islam has been, what and how it has failed to generate social goods/ advancement, and its prospects for the future. Especially with the Muslim Outreach programs giving them money , technology, and Nasa involvement.
Lord knows these will all be translated into bombs.

The fact remains, they know it and we know it.... Islam has failed the people. Spiritually, socially, governmentally... every way possible.

Excepting the making of new bombs.

For anyone to suggest that there be a revival or renaissance of Islam in America, it just doesnt make any sense other than someone has their head where there is no light ...or the other party is ramping up for war.

“atel is the founder and executive director of Chicago-based Interfaith Youth Core, which says it promotes pluralism by teaming people of different faiths on service projects.”

I’d bet a box of doughnuts that this jihadist has no room for Jews or Christians. He probably hates Taoists, Buddhists and all members of Cao Di and Madam Blovatsky followers, too.

Muslims have the mentality that because their religion is oppressive and their lives suck because of it, they have to spread their misery. Misery loves company right.

.....Eboo Patel....

He’s not the only (open) muslim who is an advisor to obama. There’s also the hijab-wearing Dalia Mogahed, who wants to see sharia law in America!

obama is an evil muslim who wants to destroy America to advance the islamic empire-in-the-making!!!!

You are absolutely correct. Islam denies human rights. Cannot exist with any democracy. This MUST be acknowledged and addressed in American law and in any other democracy which aims to survive.
