With the plan of building a giant Islam center of all places in direct proximity to Ground Zero (PI has reported many times), the representatives of the most peaceful and most woman-friendly of all world religions are showing chutzpah that is leaving even long-time PI readers speechless. Three aspects make this project into an incomparable mockery of the 9/11 victims and their loved ones.
(By La Valette / Translation: Anders Denken)
They are indeed:
- The choice of the location
- The planned grand opening date of September 11, 2011, ten years to the date after the attacks
- The choice of the name “Cordoba House” — The first mosque in Spain was built by the Islamic conquerors in Cordoba.
One has to be somewhat naive to believe that all of this is simply coincidence — and not somehow planned humiliation for the victims of the attacks, the citizens of the United States and all inhabitants of Western countries that identify with the values of the West. However, Islam and its apologists in the West seem to think of us as somewhat stupid. This is the attitude of Hannes Stein in Welt Online, whom I at one time considered to be a reasonable author, that the protest against the mosque project was exaggerated, that said mosque was not to be built directly on the Ground Zero campus, rather near to it. In the same article, Michael Bloomberg, mayor of New York, is quoted in this statement:
“I believe it is fair to say that nobody would shout if someone were to build a church or synagogue on this plot of land. And it is a fact that the Muslims have the same right.”
This comparison can only be described as cynical, for in a Jewish or Christian house of worship the loved ones of the dead would be mentioned in prayer. In a mosque of Islam, even that religion, in whose name every victim is murdered, they are ridiculed.
What’s really interesting, however, is a look at the Imam who is behind this Cordoba House project. His name is Feisal Abdul Rauf (photo above), and he appears at first look to be an exemplary representative of that “moderate” Islam that is invoked everywhere. Welt Online portrays him thus as a model man of God. Born in Kuwait, he is highly educated, studied physics and “committed to interreligious dialog.” For this reason, he is especially appreciated by the Jews — even Rabbi David Rosen of the American Jewish Committee.
With such a cosmopolitan gentleman for an imam, one can truly sell a mosque at Ground Zero. If I were a left-wing reactionary do-gooder, I would pose the argument that even Muslims were among the victims of 9/11, and the building of a mosque would be more than justified for their memorial. However, a few years’ occupation with the religion of peace and their agents produce a certain mistrust of the nice appearance. One doesn’t trust the attractive coat of paint so much anymore and begins to scratch at it. This must be done with care because one will often encounter the whole façade of Taqiyya (deception).
Thus, one finds out about Rauf that the oft-sought interview partner of Rabbi Rosen is not of the same mind as all of the honorable Rabbi’s fellow believers. It especially came out that Rauf belongs to a Malayan “peace movement” that is part of the main sponsors of the Gaza flotilla. The visitors of the opening Internet page are greeted with a dark, blinking Mahathir bin Mohamad, Prime Minister of Malaysia from 1981-2003. In the past, this Muslim attacked Jews quite often with racist and anti-Semitic statements. Thus he asserted, “they are not just hook-nosed, but also instinctively understand money.” Spielberg’s Film “Schindler’s List” was banned by Mohamads government in Malaysia because it was “too pro-Jewish.” His statement under the image is interesting:
“Peace for us simply means the absence of war. We must never be deflected from this simple objective.”
In this statement is again found that which mirrors the moral contradiction of pacifism, for the sake of “dear peace,” any injustice is acceptable. Following this philosophy, long-standing terrorization of Israeli civilians by means of Qassam rockets from the Gaza strip is presented as no interruption of “peace,” military action by Israel for the purpose of preventing this is however the opposite. Any true, peace-loving person who has just the least sense of justice can only turn away repulsed by such “pacifism.” The solidarity between Islam and the peace movement is logical, however, because both operate with equivalently hypocritical concepts of peace. The term “hudna (‘truce’ or ‘quiet’) is worth mentioning here.
A further search on the Internet reveals that the contacts with hypocritical friends of peace more than likely belong to Raufs earlier venial sins. Walid Shoebat, no stranger to PI readers, endeavored to compare the Imam’s English language expressions with expressions he has dealt with on Islamic websites. The result is taken up with giving novices of Islam criticism an introductory course on the concept of Taqiyya. Thus, Shoebat refers to an article of Rauf in the newspaper New York Daily News from May 25, 2010, in which he fosters his image as that of being defender of interreligious dialog:
My colleagues and I are the anti-terrorists. We are the people who want to embolden the vast majority of Muslims who hate terrorism to stand up to the radical rhetoric. Our purpose is to interweave America’s Muslim population into the mainstream society.
Only two months before, in an article on March 24, 2010, for “Rights4all”, the website for the media division of the University of Cairo, he wanted to have nothing to do of all things with religious dialog. Under the headline, “The most prominent Imam in New York: I do not believe in religious dialog.’” He writes there:
This formulation is inaccurate. Religious dialog, as it is usually understood, is an array of events with discussions in large hotels, in which nothing gets accomplished. Religions lead no dialog, and dialog is not present in the actions of their followers, regardless of whether it deals with Christians or Muslims. The image of the Muslims in the West is complex, something that has to be stopped.
Only one day after his article in the New York Daily News, Rauf openly advocates for the establishment of Sharia on the popular Islamic website Hadiyul-Islam. This is exceeded even more by a TV appearance on 60 Minutes where he states that, in his opinion, the US with its policy is responsible for the death of numerous innocent individuals worldwide, and complicit in the crimes of September 11th, climaxing in the statement, “In fact, Osama Bin Laden is a product of the USA.”
This just isn’t the statements of a man of God who has waved the banner of reconciliation among the religions. Which devil rode the Republican mayor of New York to give his approval of the Cordoba House project is still a mystery. In any case, there are still those who have protested, on the right side, against this mockery of the 9/11 victims. Islam critics of the whole Western world should exercise solidarity with them.
Like his Penzberg colleague Idriz, Imam Rauf shows that glimpses behind the tolerant and peace loving façade of his sign always bring the hateful, intolerant and violent mug of the true Islam come to the forefront. Walid Shoebat also confirms this. In an interview with Pajamas TV, he states that the single Muslims as individuals are for the better part peaceful and not interested in the institution of Sharia. The Islamic theologists and interest groups such as CAIR, however, are not to be trusted. They advocate pure Jihad thougt. Rauf himself is the founder of such a group. His father was in the Muslim Brotherhood, and he has never distanced himself from him.
Here is the interview with Walid Shoebat in which he describes how differing the statements of leading Muslims are in the English and Arab languages.
Their intentions are to infiltrate parts of Islamic law, the Sharia, piece by piece into world societies. Shoebat also cites a few revealing statements by Imam Rauf from his article on “Rights4all.” And he is carrying out, as audacious as the plan is, the building of a mosque at Ground Zero of all places. No Islamic association can be trusted, and so the permission to build a mosque should be given generally nowhere in the US.
After a few years of dealing with this totalitarian ideology that disguises itself as religion, faith in a “moderate Islam” is somewhat like faith in dry water.
