N.J. town files lawsuit against imam behind controversial mosque near Ground Zero
http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2010/09/union_city_sues_landlord_of_ap.html ^

Posted on 09/14/2010 5:02:27 AM PDT by Red in Blue PA

A lawsuit filed by Union City charges that the landlord of two apartment buildings has repeatedly failed to address complaints by tenants and orders by the city on issues ranging from moldy bathrooms to fire hazards.

Landlord-tenant disputes are nothing new, even those with municipalities entering the fray. Except in this case, city officials say the landlord is Feisal Abdul Rauf, the imam behind the controversial proposal to develop an Islamic cultural center and mosque near Ground Zero.

The suit, filed today in state Superior Court in Jersey City, identifies Rauf as the sole officer of Sage Development LLC, a company based at his home address in North Bergen and listed as the owner of the two buildings. The suit also alleges that Sage’s corporate status was revoked by the state in March 2005, for its failure to file annual reports.

Several Ground Zero firefightes have filed suit for emotional distress against that Jihadist Rauf, too.

Real quick...someone help me out here...

...but isn’t there some story floating about that this Imam says the attack on 9/11 was NOT the work of Al Queda? He is, in fact, a “truther”....asserting that Dubya and Cheney arranged the attacks?

I keep hearing this somewhere but not yet cemented who is the truther here.

Nice. I hope Union City hammers this Saudi mole. Their money was behind 9/11 and is behind this mosque.

An associate of his is the truther, not Rauf himself.

(though if he works with him, this is a distinction without a difference)

If the media hadn’t already elevated Rauf on a carbonated geyser of free publicity, and if he were not enriched by that and his ill-gotten GZM gains, he’d be heading into the sausage grinder of NJ landlord-tenant court.
As it is, he no longer needs apartment houses in North Jersey and will consider himself well rid of them. He is now paraded about like a king of fools at festival, and our tax dollars help keep him rolling along.

Name is: Faiz Khan

Article about this says, in part:

A founding member of an organization run by Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the driving force behind the planned mosque near Ground Zero, claims that the 9/11 attacks were an "inside job" and that Muslims have been made scapegoats, The Post has learned.

Faiz Khan -- who has preached at least twice at the former Burlington Coat Factory building, the site of the proposed mosque -- was for years Rauf's partner in the American Society for the Advancement of Muslims, which is dedicated to promoting a better understanding of Islam.

Khan also serves on the advisory board of Muslims for 9/11 Truth and is a founder of the Muslim-Jewish-Christian Alliance for 9/11 Truth, known as MUJCA.

The State Dept employees who vetted this guy so that he could represent the U.S. overseas should be fired for incompetency or at least demoted.

So, not only did the taxpayers pay for his recent jaunt, they forked over $2 million for "renovation" to this arrogant SOB:

Last week, The Record reported that Rauf received more than $2 million in public money to renovate low-income apartments he owns in Hudson County, including those mentioned in today’s lawsuit, after winning support for the projects from officials, including the disgraced former County Executive Robert C. Janiszewski, and U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, who was mayor of Union City at the time.

Obama and Rev Wright share the same views more or less as well.

Not to mention that First Slut Michelle lied at the 911 Memorial the other day. Michelle said she was proud of the way the people responded on 911 (I paraphrase) but we already know that she was never proud of her Country prior to hubby Bary running for President

LOL, looks like obama picked another loser based on the color of his religion, not the content of his character. The imam doesn’t sound much different than obama’s go-to-gal Valerie Jarrett, Chicago Slum Queen.

Wow. If the muslim community in NY and NJ had any sense they'd try to distance themselves from this guy. Having spent some time in the middle east, however, this is SOP for the elites.

Repeated calls to Rauf’s home telephone were met with a busy signal. No number was listed for Sage Development....Late tonight, no one answered the doorbell at Rauf's North Bergen residence.

And suddenly the man has nothing to say.

They're not incompetent. They knew exactly what they were getting. Which is why they ought to be fired, not demoted.

Didn’t Bush send this guy around the middle east for similar reasons (to garner support for and preach so called “tolerant Islam”)? I could swear I heard that he did so just yesterday on Hannity.
