trivia ...

Council of 100 Leaders (C-100) : Promoting dialogue and cooperation between the Western and Islamic worlds.... ....The C-100 Secretariat created a project submission process and started receiving project proposals along strategic themes. A number of projects were approved by the C-100 in the past. A synopsis of each project including its current status is found below.

I. C-100 Projects Endorsed and Funded in 2005 Through the generosity of HRH Price Al Waleed of Saudi Arabia, the Xenel Corporation, and others, several C-100-endorsed projects were funded :

1. ASMA Society: Muslim Leaders of Tomorrow
American Society for Muslim Advancement (ASMA)’s Cordoba Initiative proposed to convene young Muslim leaders from the US and the broader Muslim world to expand its network of Muslim Leaders of Tomorrow (MLT). The mission of the MLT is to foster a unified, uniquely American voice of Islam capable of accelerating the development of a healthy Islamic identity that is both western and closely connected to Muslim communities worldwide. MLT will act as a platform and network of emerging young Muslim leaders who are committed to this mission and have the capacity to act as change agents. With funding from the National Center for Community and Justice, ASMA launched the MLT in December 2004, convening 100 emerging Muslim American leaders, ages of twenty-five to forty-five, for a retreat in New York. ASMA Society in partnership with The Cordoba Initiative launched its first Western (North America/ Europe) Muslim Leaders of Tomorrow conference in Copenhagen, Denmark July 7-10, 2006.
A dynamic group of 100 emerging leaders representing 16 nations and embodying a wide spectrum of Muslims by: sect, ethnicity, profession, religiosity, and individual politics, participated.
The overarching theme of the conference was "Muslim integration in the West".

Program: The program of the conference covered  the following general themes:

1) Islam as an aspect of personal identity
2) How does one define an ummah?
3) Do Muslims need to be unified?
4) What breeds alienation among young Muslim?
5) Is Islam in crisis? If so, what does it mean for if to be in crisis?
6) Is a clash of values between the Muslim World and the West inevitable?
Next Steps: A new MLT website was developed.
MLT artists included a comedian and a cartoonist who performed and exhibited their work.
Outcomes:

Short term: A creation of a young global Muslim leadership. Long term: Development of participants into prominent Community leaders.[my note: community organizers]

2. ......

3. ...

4. ...

These are not scimitar-swinging talibannies, these are muslim progressives, akin to the superficially-Christian World Council of Churches, a front for the USSR way back when that suckered a lot of Christians into the liberation theology bandwagon.

I recall Soros one time being quoted on his desire to foster islam as a more useful theology for imposition of global governance than western religion. maybe someone can recall the exact quote. Holy Creeping Shariah, batman...

"Obama is a Christian and prays daily,"

I don't think it counts if he's praying to the Mother Ship.

I just called and spoke with Tom. He told me that the approved term to use is “mosque located 2 blocks from ground zero”. The concern was that readers would be misled into believing that the mosque would be located exactly ON ground zero. Is this explanation reasonable?

This is no question in response to some message the Red Media obtained from their Overlord in the White House.

I’d rather lose my job than to call it anything but what it is: Ground Zero Mosque.

I just sent an email to both addresses, including a phrase from the campagne...”you can put lipstick on a pig but it’s still a pig” and then said, “You can call it whatever you want but it’s still a mosque at Ground Zero.”

That’s the best I can do, fellas. Just voice my outrage.

Here is the text of my emails:

I don’t know your political affiliations, but I can see that you are most decidedly a person who will bend over backwards to placate the person or people can benenefit you the most.

To quote a man you admire, “You can put lipstick on a pig but it’s still a pig.” You can call the Ground Zero Mosque anything you want, but it is still a victory mosque at Ground Zero. Shame on you for kissing up to traitors.

Your wife, daughters and grandaughters will all be subject to Shariah Law if you don’t get a backbone. Call it what it is, and stop pandering to Muslims. Including your president.

” Over the years I’ve read over 100 IRS 990’s. As far as I can tell this outfit up until 24 months ago did not have the money in hand to buy a new Ford F150, much less any kind of real estate. And there was no way they had the money to build an outhouse, much less something in New York city.

There is NO WAY that these people have raised as much money as they will need to do this project unless they have a substantial donor or government money incoming. Something is way off here. Way off! Where is the money coming from? The Saudis? Or is it us? Recently it has been said that the Obama administration has been using US taxpayer money to rebuild or build mosques in other countries. Has that money or other taxpayer dollars been sent abroad then funneled back in to this “project”. “

Opinion, Liz?
