Imam Rauf to the USA: “Silence! I Kill You?”
Townhall.com ^ | September 12, 2010 | Doug Giles

Posted on 09/12/2010 9:19:59 PM PDT by Kaslin

Imam Feisal Rauf, fresh from his Middle East “Good Will Tour,” where he went to spread the message of inter-faith love, unicorns and candy canes (and not to raise money to build an insulting victory mosque at Ground Zero to speed U.S. domination) appeared on Larry King Live last Wednesday night and said something that seemed sorta … kinda … well, threatening—which was peculiar given his “world healer” status, his Mr. Rogers persona, his affinity for Justin Bieber, his Benny Hinn wardrobe and his religion’s peaceful, easy feelin’.

For those who missed it, Feisal Rauf, whose name according to CAIR translates in the Farsi to “fluffy love,” told Soledad O’Brien, the unbiased and competent guest host of Larry King’s wildly popular talk show, that if bigoted Americans don’t desist with their opposition to the much needed, therapeutic and ecumenical community center built by the followers of the sweetest faith in like, forever, that the insulted Islamists will have no other recourse but to start blowing crap up! And I quote:

“If we don't do this right [i.e. go ahead and build the mosque next to where George Bush blew up the Twin Towers and capitulate to every other Islamic impulse], anger will explode in the Muslim world.”

“... If we don't handle this crisis correctly, it could become something very dangerous indeed.” (He, no doubt, is speaking metaphorically, right?)

“This crisis could become much bigger than the Danish Cartoon crisis that resulted in attacks on Danish embassies in various parts of the Muslim world.” (Huh? Is he referring to the events in which ?)

What Feisal said to O’Brien tied my mind into a pretzel because I thought the Muslim world was devoid of angry freaks who blow people up and that Jeff Dunham was just being mean when he rips on them with his insensitive Achmed the Dead Terrorist act.

Sure, according to the MSM, there are one or two in their ranks who are rank, but not nearly enough to instigate worldwide violence against Americans (if we’re to believe Daisy Khan and Rick Sanchez).

However, Feisal seems to intimate this, going against his own script (and, coincidentally, the MSM’s) by suggesting that if we offend them by not letting them build a Muslim Theme Park at Ground Zero that this will cause Muslims to explode with violence, much like the countless Islamophobic websites point out on an almost hourly basis in their highly-edited and multitudinous YouTube vids and in their propaganda-laced (according to CAIR), yet highly-trafficked blogs.

Why would Feisal say something like this about the Religion of Peace? This unveiled threat of, “if Muslims don’t get their way they’ll pick up their marbles, go home, embed ‘em into a suicide vest, get their buddies, come back, and light crap up,” sounds just like the lies the Islamophobes are hawking and not the truth we’ve been sold by Daisy, sweet Daisy.

If Feisal is right and this pisses Muslims off so thoroughly that they’re going to ramp up global violence against America then that would make them look silly, backward, petulant and intolerant; and if that’s true, we, therefore, shouldn’t budge a frickin’ inch on our opposition to the Ground Zero mosque because as we all know, mama says that giving in to bullies is wrong.

Like the “Prophet” Mohammed, the imam is a flimflam artist. Since the 1970’s he has been ripping off business partners, tenants, and the taxpayers with the help of sleazy politicians. From the Jersey RECORD, 8-29-10:

[The Muslim cleric at the center of the proposed mosque and community center near Ground Zero is also a New Jersey landlord who got more than $2 million in public financing to renovate low-income apartments and has been beset for years by tenant complaints and financial problems. . .Imam Feisal A. Rauf won support for his Hudson County projects from powerful politicians, among them Robert C. Janiszewski, the disgraced former county executive. He also was awarded grants from Union City when U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez was mayor. . .]

Quoting him: If we don’t do this right, anger will explode in the Muslim world.” “... If we don’t handle this crisis correctly, it could become something very dangerous indeed.

If this is the case he needs to be brought before Congress and under oath tell us what he knows, if not he needs to be sent back to where he came from.

Now I get it. They are jealous of women. They want to BE women.

So let’s get this straight:

We mustn’t think of them all as violent monsters or they will blow us up.

They want to stay here in this country that they hate.

Rather than go back to the hellholes that they love.

They want to be free to build their mosque where they want and are entitled to it under our Constitution, which they hate and want to replace with Sharia law.

They respect women so much that if women don’t want this respect they have to be killed.

I know a nice little copyediting course they could take that would teach them how to edit their brains.

Rauf is in a pickle.

The narrative in the Muslim world is that the Western world (mainly Jews and Americans) are trying to oppress and kill Muslims. Not allowing a mosque at ground zero, as he says, will incite violence in the Muslim World because this would be seen as an act of oppression and would serve as a recruiting tool for terrorists. If he backs down, he loses credibility with other Muslims and maybe even his own life. At the very least, he might have innocent blood on his hands.

He said this to the Telegraph UK while accusing Sarah Palin of promoting Islamophobia:

“My major concern with moving it is that the headline in the Muslim world will be Islam is under attack in America. This will strengthen the radicals in the Muslim world, help their recruitment, this will put our people — our soldiers, our troops, our embassies, our citizens — under attack in the Muslim world and we have expanded and given and fuelled terrorism.”

This means he’s more afraid of his own than he is of us. It’s basically safer to call us all bigots so that’s what he’s doing.

I guess we all can take his insult as a compliment, then?

What a mess this guy is.

Doug Giles rocks my world. The photo is rather ironic seeing as his wife does not cover her hair. Which makes him, of course, a moderate muslim. Also completely outrageous after hearing Donald Trump say the “developer” turned down his offer to buy him out of the building at $1m profit. They are waiting for a better offer. Meanwhile, people were killed in Afghanistan while protesting the idea that someone in America might possibly burn a koran. Gotta love the religion of peace.

The idea is an abomination.

" In Islam, every structure linked to the faith and its rituals has a precise function and character.
A mosque is a one-story gallery built around an atrium with a mihrab (a niche pointing to Mecca)
and one, or in the case of Shiites two, minarets.
This 13-story multifunctional structure couldn't be any of the above.
The groups fighting for the project know this; this is why they sometimes call it an Islamic cultural center.
But there is no such thing as an Islamic culture.
The Prophet imposed his rule on parts of Arabia through a series of ghazvas, or razzias (the origin of the English word "raid").

The ghazva was designed to terrorize the infidels, convince them that their civilization was doomed and force them to submit
to Islamic rule. Those who participated in the ghazva were known as the ghazis, or raiders.
After each ghazva, the Prophet ordered the creation of a rabat -- or a point of contact at the heart of the infidel territory raided.
The rabat consisted of an area for prayer, a section for the raiders to eat and rest and facilities to train and prepare
for future razzias. Later Muslim rulers used the tactic of ghazva to conquer territory in the Persian and Byzantine empires.
After each raid, they built a rabat to prepare for the next razzia.

It is no coincidence that Islamists routinely use the term ghazva to describe the 9/11 attacks against New York and Washington.
The terrorists who carried out the attack are referred to as ghazis or shahids (martyrs).
Thus, building a rabat close to Ground Zero would be in accordance with a tradition started by the Prophet.
To all those who believe and hope that the 9/11 ghazva would lead to the destruction of the American "Great Satan,"
this would be of great symbolic value."

That white garb doesn’t make him clean, pure, holy or spiritual.

Also, the Muslims are using fear to subjugate us, and it’s working. There aren’t enough Geert Wilders. Everyone’s caving in to them like a Spain with a subway bombing.

It's easy to reach this erroneous conclusion but you're wrong.Goats are what move them.Being a woman...or being *with* one...doesn't interest them in the least.

Remember....GOATS!

Here's how to stop the construction of the Mosque.

In Seville, Spain some local people found a way to stop the construction of another mosque in their town..

They buried a Pig on the site and made sure this would be known by the local press..

The Islamic rules forbid erection of a Mosque on "Pig soiled ground".

The Muslims had to cancel the project.

No protests were needed by the local people ... and It worked !!!
