Ground Zero imam plays hide & sheik
ny post ^ | August 22, 2010 | LACHLAN CARTWRIGHT

Posted on 08/22/2010 10:50:31 AM PDT by george76

People in the Persian Gulf kingdom of Bahrain fumed yesterday that the cleric behind the proposed Ground Zero mosque toured their country under tight wraps as part of a State Department-organized goodwill tour of the Middle East.

"This man comes from America to speak with us, but we can't find him," ..."Why must he be so secretive? It makes me think that his visit is just for show, which makes me angry."

Despite the fact that the $16,000 trip was covered by taxpayers, the department, which organized the trip, repeatedly refused to disclose the details of the two-week excursion to Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.

Rauf said he'd seek funds from overseas to finance the $100 million project. But a mosque spokesman refused last week to say whether they'd reject money from the Holocaust-denying and nuclear-weapons-seeking Iranian government.

Separation of church and state? How do we sue the State Department and NASA to recover tax dollars used to promote the president’s Muslim faith?

Funny the same liberal pigs that all of a sudden found THEIR copy of the US Constitution and using it as a shield for people who believe we should be killed or converted, are ignoring the same US Constitution and using our money to pay for this pig-o-phobic, pedophile supporter's trip to drum up money for another of their weapon's factories.

Our government is at war with us and not muslims like it should be.

Great. Not only is Barry squandering countless millions of dollars on his leisure tour of five star resorts, but now he is donating tax dollars so that he can subsidize luxury vacations for his Muslim friends. It is unclear why the U.S. taxpayer is paying for this guys trips. If there is no reason, Barry’s bigot Attorney General, Eric “nation of cowards” Holder should prosecute any government officials that illegally disbursed these funds.

For the “unknowing”

This is not a multicultural issue....its far greater

Here in this issue, we get to see the power of Sharia. Cash coming in from Iran, Saudiland etc etc even Pakistan.

When the founding fathers thought of America, their little baby, the last thing they wanted was an invasive force to stifle, smother it, and then overwhelm it and kill it.

Most people do not recognize that what happens in a mosque is sedition. Pure and simple. Islam is not just a “religion”, it is a cult. Larger than that though, it is a political system, it is it’s own government, a economic system (which includes funding new mosque construction), its judicial...all wrapped up in the word sharia. This is inclusive of its military (jihadis) all rolled into one with one intent ...and that is to rule wherever they take root. It is a invasive, systemic infection looking to take over the host once it has quantum.

This is not just a “religion”, but something that cloaks itself in those terms so it should not be given the same treatment contemplated under the first amendment. The Korans Sharia rules are to consume whatever government there is wherever it goes.
Islam is political, and it’s goal is to supplant and replace. Globally.

When the founding fathers thought of America, their little baby, the last thing they wanted was an invasive force to stifle, smother it, and then overwhelm it and kill it.

The sooner America learns this , the better.

Obama? Obama and Company? Should be tried for treason in this issue for promoting the establishment of a foreign government on our soils. He is doing nothing to protect America as per his oath. Also, as a Muslim, he knows this, he know far better, he knows sharia, but is looking to deceive America.

For all interested...Wanna learn more?

Our government is at war with us.

Very true. It is important to remember that ‘the war’ spans both sides. The so called ‘Republicans’ are just as guilty as the so called Liberals, they are just less vocal about it.

We the people have been overthrown. We are being ruled by treacherous dictators, regardless of how they brand themselves.

Many here are better informed about Islam.

But too many - including government leaders - bought the lie about the religion of peace.
