imam rauf///////// feisal abdul rauf by alyssa lappen////////// an investigative report prepared for act! for america ////// feisal abdul rauf, born in kuwait in 1948, boasts of his issue from an ?gyptian family steeped in religious scholarship.?1 he presents himself as a muslim moderate.2 yet feisal rauf? muslim brotherhood provenance, radical by definition, is as authentic as it gets. evidence of family, and direct rauf muslim brotherhood connections ?rauf? father dr. muhammad abdul rauf (1917-2004), was an egyptian contemporary of muslim brotherhood (mb) founder hassan al-banna. ?rauf? father studied and taught at islam? closest equivalent to the vatican ?al-azhar university ?beside hassan al-banna, perpetuating the pious family tradition of radicalism. ?in 1948, rauf? father fled egypt, during its first mb crackdown; feisal was born in kuwait. 3 ?in 1965, feisal? father left malaysia for new york city to stealthily buy two thirds of an e. 96th street block for an islamic ?ersonal trust,?revealing its $1.3 million islamic money from kuwait, saudi arabia and libya only after construction of the mb mosque began in 1984. 4 ?likewise, 46 organization of the islamic conference (oic) nations funded the $17 million islamic cultural center, only after its 1992 opening did rauf? father reveal that funding source or admit his long-term plans for discriminatory muslim-only housing for the islamic complex. 5 ?rauf? father named feisal as a permanent trustee of the mb mosque. ?under feisal? permanent trusteeship, icc employed al-azhar imam muhammad gemeaha. a week after fleeing the u.s. on sept. 28, 2001 he stated, ?nly the jews?could have perpetrated 9/11; allah says jews ?isseminate corruption in the land,?spread ?eresy, homosexuality, alcoholism, and drugs.?americans would exterminate jews like ?itler did?if they knew. ?icc then hired al-azhar envoy omar saleem abu-namous. he too saw no ?onclusive evidence?that muslims committed the atrocities, but rather saw muslims as innocent victims. 6 ?at perdana global peace organization, an mb, hamas and al-qaeda affiliate, rauf is second in command to antisemitic former malaysian p.m. and islamic law advocate mahathir mohamad,7 who in nov. 2002, incited global anti-west financial war as a ?ihad worth fighting for.? ?on may 7, 2010, rauf himself stated, ?ome people say ?muslims ?attacked on 9/11 ?? ?in 2001 on 60 minutes, rauf called u.s. policies ?n accessory to the crime that happened,?and said, ?n ?the most direct sense, osama bin laden was made in the usa.?10 ?rauf wants to impose sharia in the u.s. his 2004 book, what? right with islam, is translated into malay as the call from the wtc rubble. 11 ?in dec. 2007 rauf promoted the book at a kuala lumpur hizb ut tahrir (ht) meeting. 12 banned in germany since 2003 and outlawed in jordan, syria, lebanon, egypt, tunisia, turkey and saudi arabia, among other places ?the organization is ideologically akin to the mb. ?in the fiscal year ended jun. 30, 2009, feisal? asma accepted at least $1.3 million, including $576,312 from qatar,13 whose government stands accused of funding international terrorism, has long harbored terror financiers, and for decades hosted muslim brotherhood spiritual chief yusuf al-qaradawi. rauf is quite friendly with qaradawi, a large, founding shareholder in terror-funding al-taqwa bank who champions sharia law, wife beating and suicide bombing. 14 ?rauf concluded in the washington post, shortly after president obama? june 2009 cairo speech, that he? challenged muslims to ?ive up to the tenets of our religion, embrace shariah law as conceived by the prophet, and see what happens.?15 ?rauf seeks more u.s. legal ?eeway?for sharia ?to put muslims above the law ?by ?inviting] voices of all religions to join the dialogue in shaping the nation? practical life, [and allowing] religious communities ?to judge ?ccording to their own laws.16 ?on dec. 9, 2007, rauf said in arabic to sa?a abdul maksoud of the hadi-el-islam website, that current, unjust governments, ?o not follow islamic laws.?he advocates establishing sharia ?n more [ways than one] ?through a kingdom or a democracy, [so long as the] fundamentals of shariah [exist, with standards of muslim scholars] required to govern. ?o organize ?relationships between government ?and the governed.?17 ?in march 2010, also in arabic, rauf stridently denounced interfaith discussions. ? don? believe in interfaith dialogue,?he said in an article that highlighted his statement in its headline. 18 ?rauf? manhattan asma offices at 475 riverside drive occupy the suite next door to council of american-islamic-relations (cair) of ny; its national parent is the u.s. arm of the mb terrorist group, hamas, and an unindicted coconspirator in the 2008 holy land foundation terror financing case in which the organization and five officers were convicted.19 ?at the jul. 13, 2010 new york landmarks hearing on the fate a 152-year-old wrought-iron era building where a piece of jet fuselage fell through its roof on 9/11 ?cair-ny executive director zaed ramadan supported destroying the structure opposite ground zero to build rauf? 15 story mosque, a monument to muslim victory to tower above the memorial site. 20 ?rauf and his wife daisy khan in 2009 both refused to sign a freedom pledge to protect former muslims from the death sentence sought by most sharia interpretations for muslim apostates. on oct. 20, 2009, former muslims united asked asma? executives to pledge to ?enounce, repudiate and oppose any physical intimidation, or worldly and corporal punishment, of apostates ? [however] that punishment may be determined or carried out by myself or any other muslim including the [apostate's] family, community, mosque leaders, shariah court or judge, and muslim government or regime.?1 ?rauf? 2000 and 2004 books both laud sharia and envision implementing it in the u.s. ?and ?ejuvenating?the islamic spirit of 14th century jurist taqi al-din ahmad ibn taymiyyah and his 18th century heir muhammad bin abdul al-wahhab. rauf also lauds purported ?odernists?jamal al-dinal-afghani (d. 1897) and muhammad abduh (d. 1905) who revered wahhabis, ibn taymiyyah and like rauf pretended sharia ?with perennial jihad and countless strictures on non-muslims and women ?complements western ideas like those in the u.s. bill of rights. 22 ?rauf also authorized two mainstay mb organizations, the international institute of islamic thought (iiit) and the islamic society of north america (isna) to produce ? special non-commercial edition?of his 2004 book to promote ?roper [western] understanding of islam?23 ?rauf? asma in 2004 established the purportedly liberal muslim leaders of tomorrow.24 its liberal faces are largely overwhelmed by sharia devotees like al qaeda supporter yasir qadhi,25 cair-ny community affairs director faiza n. ali ?who co-authored cair? fallacious ?enunciation?of a superb 2008 nypd report on homegrown jihadists ?and cair-ny community organizer debbie almontaser, who once ran the city? khalil gibran academy.26 ?since at least 2006, rauf? u.s.-based cordoba initiative has partnered with gallup organization and ?unni and shi? scholars from morocco to indonesia?to create ?n islamic legal benchmark for measuring ?slamicity?of a state?sharia index?or official, state, public and press use in the ?uslim and western worlds.?he initiated the project, funded by malaysia and many other nations in the 57-member organization of the islamic conference (oic). 27 ?a key sharia index board member, jasser auda, doubles on the academic council at the u.k. the international institute of islamic thought (iiit) office and in summer 2010 taught with muslim brotherhood heavies?.g. former isna leadership development head louay safi, iiit v.p. and nait founding general manager jamal barzinji and minaret of freedom head imad ad deen ahmad, present at the beirut terrorist convention in january 2001. no mistaking their intent. click here to continue reading this report. 2) the article below that appeared in pajamas media is an eye opener to the reasons for the mosque at ground zero. the ground zero mosque developer: muslim brotherhood roots, radical dreams (appeared in pajamas media) posted by alyssa a. lappen on may 14, 2010 @ 10:46 am in uncategorized | 76 comments the prospective developer of a $100 million, 13-story mosque 600 feet from ground zero presents himself as a muslim moderate [1] (1) [2]. yet kuwait-born faisal abdul rauf also boasts of his issue from an ?gyptian family steeped in religious scholarship [1]?(2) [3]. indeed, feisal rauf? muslim brotherhood provenance, radical by definition, is as authentic as it gets. rauf? father, dr. muhammad abdul rauf (1917-2004) ?an egyptian contemporary of muslim brotherhood founder hassan al-banna ?conveyed to feisal his family? long tradition of radicalism, which he acquired at islam [4]? closest equivalent to the vatican, al-azhar university. the elder dr. rauf studied and taught there before fleeing egypt in 1948. that year, feisal abdul rauf was born in kuwait. feisal rauf has planned for some time to further develop his father? u.s. islamic expansionism. in 1990, rauf opened the tiny al-farah mosque at 245 west broadway in lower manhattan. area residents did not even notice the mosque until 2006, when the new york state liquor authority (sla) refused to license [5] a new bar on the same block and started yanking others?liquor licenses (3) [6]. rauf attended grammar school and high school in the uk and malaysia, according to his biography. he probably first lived in america only in 1965, at age 17, when his father moved from malaysia to new york to plan and head the islamic cultural center (not built until the mid-1980s [7]) (4) [8]. rauf then obtained a bs in physics at columbia university (5) [9]. in 1971, the family moved to washington, d.c., where rauf? father headed the islamic center on massachusetts ave [10] (6) [11]. his father, buried in suitland, md, at the for-profit [12] washington national cemetery [13], also founded three malaysian islamic studies programs, including the international islamic university of malaysia (7) [14]. rauf? early uk education and familiarization with american popular culture and values made him an acutely adept practitioner of islamic taqiyya [15] ?deceptive speech and action to advance the interests and supremacy of islam (8) [16]. to further that islamic advancement, rauf in 1997 [17] established the american society for muslim advancement (asma). his kashmir-born wife daisy kahn [18], an interior designer by profession, has run the organization since 2005 (9) [19]. rauf? early uk education and familiarization with american popular culture and values made him an acutely adept practitioner of islamic taqiyya [15] ?deceptive speech and action to advance the interests and supremacy of islam (8) [16]. to further that islamic advancement, rauf in 1997 [17] established the american society for muslim advancement (asma). his kashmir-born wife daisy kahn [18], an interior designer by profession, has run the organization since 2005 (9) [19]. rauf then began cultivating new spheres of influence. in about summer 2002, rauf started lecturing on islam [20] at the 750-acre southwestern new york campus of chautauqua institution, a 136-year-old [21] non-profit where religion director joan brown campbell took rauf under her wing. under the rubric of the ?brahamic?faiths [22], a convenient cover for rauf? islamic activities, campbell subsequently named him the prospective head of a muslim house [23] now planned on campus by another rauf brainchild ?the 501(3)c organization muslim friends of chautauqua [23]. rauf also befriended karen armstrong [20], the former british nun and devotee of islam. in summer 2002, as a ?heologian in residence,?armstrong advocated for the muslim brotherhood ?as if the father of all islamic terrorist organizations was a progressive charity: [the mb] set up a wonderful welfare program before it was suppressed. ?factories where muslims could work, had time for prayers, had vacation time, insurance, [learned] labor laws, [provided] clinics, they taught people how to treat sewage, drainage, and it was always the religions response to try to help modernity to give to the ordinary people the benefits of modernity in an islamic setting that made sense to them and made things more balanced (10). [24] in 2003, rauf befriended leaders of denver? aspen institute, including former executive director and four-term aspen mayor john s. bennet [25]. in 2004, under asma auspices, rauf organized a meeting of 125 young muslims and formed muslim leaders of tomorrow [26]. with bennet? help, he co-founded the cordoba initiative in aspen, purportedly to ?mprove?muslim-west relations (11) [27]. rauf gets funding [28] from a variety of other liberal organizations, including, for example, gloria steinem? ms. foundation [29]. however, rauf directly contradicted his conciliatory behavior with a firebrand interview with the sydney morning herald [30]. terrorism, he stated, will end only when the west acknowledges the harm it has done to muslims: the west? role during world war ii was strictly defensive, and in no way religious. moreover, rauf? statements ?which daisy kahn glossed over [31] in a december 2009 fox news interview with laura ingraham ?ignored islam? continuous attacks, from the 7th to 16th centuries, on non-muslim peoples throughout the mideast, africa, europe, central asia, and india (12) [32]. rauf further reflected his antagonistic sentiments in the 2006 copenhagen gathering he organized for the muslim leaders of tomorrow. to enhance his moderate cloak, rauf invited such liberal muslims [33] as irshad manji [34] and mona eltahawy [35]. however muslim leaders of tomorrow also includes radicals like yasir qadhi [36], a favorite speaker at conferences of the muslim brotherhood [37]? islamic society of north america (isna [38]), and dhaba ?ebbie?almontasser [33], who works closely with hamas?u.s. arm [39] ?the council on american-islamic relations (cair), itself an unindicted co-conspirator [40] in terror financing. the islamic method of waging war is not to kill innocent civilians. ?it was christians in world war ii who bombed civilians in dresden and hiroshima [30], neither of which were military targets (12). [41] rauf further revealed his antagonistic sentiments in the 2006 copenhagen gathering he organized for the muslim leaders of tomorrow. to enhance his moderate cloak, rauf invited such liberal muslims [33] as irshad manji [34] and mona eltahawy [42]. but he also hosted radicals like yasir qadhi [36] ?a favorite speaker at conferences of the muslim brotherhood? [37] islamic society of north america (isna [38]), among others. perhaps rauf founded the cordoba initiative in 2004 intending to build a mosque in downtown manhattan directly across from ground zero. however, rauf tipped his hand to authorities only in april 2009, when he incorporated the cordoba initiative in new york (13) [43]. within months, in july 2009 [44], he bought a future mosque site at 45 park place for $4.58 million in cash from the heirs to new york? pomerantz family. as islamic attacks on september 11, 2001, destroyed the world trade center towers, falling jet debris simultaneously crushed the five-story 1923 structure some 600 feet away that until that morning housed a robust burlington coat factory store (14) [45]. over the ruin of the former retail outlet, rauf now plans to build a 13-story, $100 million [46] mosque. rauf says the cordoba initiative bought the former retail building to prove to the world that islam is not a violent faith (14) [47]. imam rauf says that new york muslims provided nearly $5 million in cash to buy the park place building (16) [48]. yet in fiscal 2009, rauf? asma received large international donations. in the year ended june 30, 2009 ?days before feisal closed the purchase ?asma received at least $1.3 million. the largest donation, $576,312, came from qatar (17) [49]. that persian gulf nation has long harbored terror financiers [50], and even the government stands accused [51] of funding international terrorism. qatar also has, for decades, hosted muslim brotherhood spiritual chief yusuf al-qaradawi. the elderly sheikh, a large and founding shareholder [52] in the terror-financing al-taqwa bank [53], champions sharia law, wife beating, and suicide bombing [54]. asma also received $481,942 from holland? millennial development goals fund (mdg3 [55]), $144,752 from new york? carnegie corporation [56], $53,664 from the u.n. population fund (unfpa [57]), plus donations from the rockefeller brothers and hunt alternatives funds, among others (18) [58]. the ground zero mosque plan is more than a little reminiscent of a program initiated by rauf? late father in 1965. that year, muhammad r. abdul rauf moved to new york to plan and head a huge islamic cultural center that took decades to realize [13] (19) [59]. he bought prime manhattan real estate at 96th st. and 3rd ave ?roughly two thirds of a city block ?apparently with $1.3 million in funding [60] from kuwait, saudi arabia, and libya. the late rauf long retained some of that land in a personal trust (19) [61]. but when construction started on the $17 million mosque in 1984 [7], it had received funding from 46 islamic nations [62]. by 2010, the enormous islamic complex had added another two buildings. since 1984, its founders-envisioned apartment unit has been restricted to muslims alone (20) [63]. whenever feisal first considered building a mosque across from ground zero, he had the idea firmly in mind by 2004, when he wrote what? right with islam. the book was translated into many languages. in indonesia? bahasa, its title translates as ?he call from the wtc rubble.?rauf promoted the book in december 2007 at a kuala lumpur gathering of hizb ut tahrir [64] (20) [65] ?an organization banned in germany [66] since 2003, and also outlawed in jordan, syria, lebanon, egypt, tunisia, turkey, and saudi arabia, among other places ?and ideologically akin to the mb. both seek to replace the u.s. constitution with islamic law (sharia), and eventually impose islam and sharia law worldwide. most north american mb organizations avoid widely publicizing that aim. the ht however, at a july 2009 khalifah conference at a suburban chicago hilton, openly promised to replace capitalism with islam [67] and sharia law (21) [68]. feisal rauf supports sharia law, too. described in one asian report as an egyptian citizen living in the u.s., he has repeatedly stated, and writes in his 2004 book, that the u.s. constitution is sharia-compliant. the ?merican constitution and system of governance uphold the core principles of islamic law,?rauf wrote in his book. the ?merican political structure is shariah-compliant, [69]?he contends, since muslim jurists over the centuries have ?efined five areas of life?to be protected by islamic law ?life, mind, religion, property, and family. only two further actions could render the u.s. more islamic than it is already, rauf contends: [inviting] voices of all religions to join the dialogue in shaping the nation? practical life, [and allowing] religious communities more leeway to judge among themselves according to their own laws (22). [70] these assertions, however, merely fulfill the muslim brotherhood doctrine of flexibility [71] ?adapting to each and every environment [72] in which the brothers eventually hope to force islamic law upon the masses. rauf? claims starkly represent taqiyya, the islamic practice of deception, to further theocratic and essentially fascist islamic advances (23) [73]. and the additional ?eeway?rauf seeks for intra-community religious-law enforcement is a thinly veiled attempt to impose shariah more widely in the u.s., in direct contravention of the u.s. constitution. president obama? june 2009 speech in cairo challenged muslims, as rauf wrote in a june 5, 2009 [74] washington post column (24) [75]: ?ive up to the tenets of our religion, embrace shariah law as conceived by the prophet, and see what happens.?but sharia inhibits all kinds of freedoms, especially those of women and non-muslims. islamic law protects only the lives, minds, religion, property, and families of muslims ?not all peoples of all faiths, as rauf would have us believe (25) [76]. since at least 2006, rauf? cordoba initiative has partnered with the gallup organization [77] and ? team of sunni and shi? scholars [78] from morocco to indonesia?to create ?n islamic legal benchmark for measuring ?slamicity?of a state?for use by the public, pundits, ?nd state officials in both the muslim and western worlds.?if the u.s. is so sharia-compliant, and rauf so strongly supports western democracy and separation of mosque and state, why has his u.s.-based institution initiated such a project? funded by malaysia [79] and many other muslim nations in the 57-member organization of the islamic conference (oic), no less? rauf has often directly contradicted his seemingly tolerant and peace-loving pronouncements with harsh, antagonistic assessments of the u.s. in his may 7 khutbah (muslim sabbath sermon), delivered at 1:00 p.m. at 45 park place in manhattan, rauf implied that muslims did not perpetrate 9/11 at all, according to writer madeline brooks, who attended [80] (26): [81] ?ome people say it was muslims who attacked on 9/11 ??he stated, before trailing off into another topic. he also expressed this view in an interview with 60 minutes aired on sept. 30, 2001 [82] as well (27) [83]: the attacks were ? reaction against the u.s. government politically, where we espouse principles of democracy and human rights, [yet] ?ally ourselves with oppressive regimes in many of these countries. ?[u.s.] policies were an accessory to the crime that happened. the attacks were ? reaction against the u.s. government politically, where we espouse principles of democracy and human rights, [yet] ?ally ourselves with oppressive regimes in many of these countries. ?[u.s.] policies were an accessory to the crime that happened. not the crimes muslims committed: ?he crime that happened.?he continued: in ?the most direct sense, osama bin laden was made in the usa (28). [84] rauf explained the islamic disdain for life, as well: in the islamic belief system, the next life is the primary life. the next life is more real [82], more intense, and more vivid.//////////// in short, islam reveres death. indeed, islam orders its adherents to conduct jihad warfare, and promises paradise and 72 virgins to those who die in the service of allah (29) [85]. even cordoba institute? name telegraphs the organization? deceptiveness. cordoba (also the name for chautauqua? proposed new muslim house) was the seat of the islamic caliphate that ruled most of spain from tariq ibn zayid? 711 invasion through 1248, and controlled parts of spain until its full liberation in 1492. however, neither the umayyads (who ruled monolithically until about 1031), nor the particularly vicious almoravids (who swept over the atlas mountains and, in 1080, into spain) ruled non-muslims kindly. while islamic harshness varied, it remained unquestionably ever-present.////////// rauf is not alone in his blatant whitewash of islam? brutal history in spain. many others purvey the same historical falsehood. yet muslim rule in spain never remotely approached the mythic level of beneficence that rauf pretends (30) [86]. the surviving victims of 9/11 and families of the deceased should not be alone in opposing rauf? proposed 13-story mosque, 600 feet from the world trade center site. traditionally, muslims have destroyed houses of worship built by virtually every other faith under the sun. worldwide, islam has plundered tens of thousands (if not more) of christian churches, jewish synagogues and holy archaeological sites, plus hindu, buddhist, zoroastrian, sikh, and other temples and monasteries. then, in the interest of jihad, islam has claimed all these religious places of others as their own ?osques,?forever muslim.////////// to allow a mosque at a place a muslim gang destroyed on 9/11 would amount to formally blessing islam? 1,400-year-old tradition of exclusivity and suppression of all persons of all other faiths. it would be a 100% victory of islam and sharia law over the u.s. constitution and america? time-honored democracy and pluralism. 1 [87] feisal abdul rauf biography, http://asmasociety.org/about/b_rauf.html [88] (viewed 4/28/2010). 2 [87] feisal abdul rauf biography, http://asmasociety.org/about/b_rauf.html [88] (viewed 4/28/2010). 3 [87] carl glassman, ?est broadway bars facing license ban,?tribeca trib, mar. 31, 2006, http://www.tribecatrib.com/bak/archives/newsmarch06/bar_new.htm [5] (viewed 5/20/2007). 4 [87] rauf bio, http://asmasociety.org/about/b_rauf.html [88], ibid.; islamic cultural center of new york, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/islamic_cultural_center_of_new_york [7] (viewed 5/9/2010). 5 [87] rauf bio, http://asmasociety.org/about/b_rauf.html [88], ibid.; act! profile of dr. muhammad abdul rauf, ibid. 6 [87] islamic center of washington, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/islamic_center_of_washington [10] (viewed 5/9/2010)./////////// 7 [87] salmy hashim, ?slamic scholar tan sri dr. muhammad abdul rauf dies,?bernama, the malaysian national news agency, dec. 12, 2004, ibid.; jaclyn ling-chien neo, ?anti-god, anti-islam and anti-quran? expanding the range of participants and parameters in discourse over women? rights and islam in malaysia,?pacific basin law journal, vol. 21:29, 2003, p. 69, http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/delivery.cfm/ssrn_id753226_code491760.pdf?abstractid=753226&mirid=1 [89] (viewed 5/7/2010). 8 [87] ikhwan website, http://www.ummah.net/ikhwan/ [90] (viewed 6/4/2008); the muslim brotherhood charter calls on members to sidestep attention through their long-established ?lexibility?strategy ?muruna in arabic. to spread islam, a basic requirement of shari? or islamic law, mb adherents also routinely practice concealment, known alternatively as either taqiyya or kitman.

reports fletcher summarizes, ?one ?rucial administrative document from the islamic side,?some small ?rchaeological evidence?and the ?hronicle of 754,?an anonymous christian narrative in latin ?after 711 arab raids laid waste to ?everal provinces,?tariq ibn zayid? army followed with fully equipped legions, who in 712 murdered roderic of spain.///////// north africa? governor then executed all toledo? prominent nobles (causing the bishop to flee), devastated the countryside and perpetrated further destruction and mass murder in zargoza and the ebro valley. upon returning to the umayyad seat of power in damascus, he transported innumerable enslaved visigoth lords, and all their gold and jewels.//////// by 715, the next governor, abd al-aziz, conquered provinces throughout iberia. documents and archaeological excavations corroborate the arrival of toledo? bishop in rome and signs of 8th century devastation beside coins dated 711 to 713. in his april 713 treaty, abd al-aziz promised theodemir lordship over, and free christian practice throughout, seven southeastern towns. for this abd al-aziz extorted from theodemir stiff annual head taxes of one silver dinar per person, all the region? wheat, barley, unfermented grape juice, vinegar, honey and oil, and an inviolable promise not to help enemies of spain? islamic conquerors. from 718 through 720, as-samh handed all visigoth monarchy holdings to arab muslim governors, and gave all the less fertile land to the north african berber muslims. his generosity brought 150,000 to 200,000 arab and berber soldiers to spain to usurp its wealth. after the 750 abbasids defeat of the umayyads, in 762, the islamic caliphate moved from damascus to baghdad. in 756 the umayyad abd al-rahman escaped the abbasid caliph al-saffah (?hedder of blood? and established a rival umayyad empire that ruled spain until 1031. but the umayyads continued to wreck havoc on spain. emir al haken (796-822) kept a palace cavalry of 2,000 and a standing army of 60,000. in 805 alone, he crucified 72 people. in 818, he leveled cordoba? southern suburb. the military governors of the umayyads?three spanish regions were constantly at war. in 884, for example, burgos was destroyed ?o its foundations.?/////// even the reputedly enlightened abd al-rahman iii (912-961) brutalized the population. at the cordoba palace alone, he owned 3,750 slaves on his death in 961. on july 26 in 920, a pyrenean monk at san juan de la pena recorded a slaughter in valdejunquera, southwest of pamplona. in 920, a three month campaign culminated on july 25 with a siege of the muez castle. all ?ombatants?were ?ut to the sword,?including over 500 ?ounts and knights.?while returning to cordoba, general al-nasir totally destroyed many other villages too. the poet ibn abd rabbihi later wrote the invaders left osma ?ike a blackened piece of charcoal.?////// in 976 almanzor or al-mansur (?he victorious? took power. in 977 he campaigned with his general against leon. some 56 campaigns followed in almanzor? rule alone. in 985, he sacked barcelona and the san cugat del valles monastery. in 987, he plundered coimbra (now in portugal). in 995, he imprisoned the count of castile, and destroyed carrion and astorga. in 997 he attacked santiago de compostela. in 999 he destroyed pamplona and in 1002 flattened roija and san millan de la cogolla monastery. almonzor raided catalonia in 1003; castile in 1004; leon in 1005; and aragon in 1006. almanzor himself described all war on christians as jihad. christian subjects said he was ?eized by the devil.?//////// in the 11th century, morocco? almoravids crossed the atlas mountains, conquered its plain and then conquered spain ?which they ruled from 1080 until fernando liberated most of the peninsula in 1248. ?n]oting can stand in their way,?wrote the muslim historian ibn kahldun of almoravid religious and military fervor, ?or their outlook is the same and the object they desire is common to all and is one for which they are prepared to die.?thus in 1148 alone, the almohads massacred 100,000 jews in fez, 120,000 jews in marrakesh and wrecked devastation and death throughout spain, from seville to tortosa./////////// in 1148, jewish physician and philosopher maimonides fled cordoba? almohad persecution with his family disguised as muslims. he found asylum in fatimid egypt. arabs and muslims had ?ersecuted us severely, and passed baneful and discriminatory legislation against us,?he later wrote. ?ever did a nation molest, degrade, debase, and hate us as much as they.?maimonides?1172 epistle to the [persecuted] jews of yemen that forced conversions they reported from yemen, the berbers had similarly forced upon jews across the maghreb and spain. he described

http://www.tribecatrib.com/news/2010/may/603_cb1-committee-hails-plans-for-a-mosque-two-blocks-from-world-trade-center-site.html ================================================ a ?oderate muslim?exposed//////// by steven emerson //////////// http://www.jewishworldreview.com | the united states has more muslim blood on its hands than al-qaida has of non-muslims, imam feisal abdul rauf, the leader of the effort to build a mosque near the site of the 9/11 terror attacks in new york, told an australian audience in july 2005. in a taped speech, rauf made a number of comments that would make anyone who is not concerned about the mosque at the ground zero site rethink their support for the man tasked with heading the ?ridge-building?center. among them [click on the play button to hear each one]: ??e tend to forget, in the west, that the united states has more muslim blood on its hands than al qaida has on its hands of innocent non muslims. you may remember that the us-led sanctions against iraq led to the death of over half a million iraqi children. this has been documented by the united nations. and when madeleine albright, who has become a friend of mine over the last couple of years, when she was secretary of state and was asked whether this was worth it, said it was worth it.?////////// (ipt fact check: a report by the british government said at most only 50,000 deaths could be attributed to the sanctions, which were brought on by the actions by former iraqi leader saddam hussein.)////////// ?the united states has supported authoritarian regimes, rauf said, and it? understandable that people in those nations would take action into their own hands. ?ollateral damage is a nice thing to put on a paper but when the collateral damage is your own uncle or cousin, what passions do these arouse? how do you negotiate? how do you tell people whose homes have been destroyed, whose lives have been destroyed, that this does not justify your actions of terrorism. it? hard. yes, it is true that it does not justify the acts of bombing innocent civilians, that does not solve the problem, but after 50 years of, in many cases, oppression, of us support of authoritarian regimes that have violated human rights in the most heinous of ways, how else do people get attention?? (ipt fact check: this is justifying acts of terrorism by blaming the united states for the oppression of islamic regimes of their own citizens. this also ignores u.s. aid of muslim citizens in nations such as kosovo and kuwait). ?asked why muslims commit suicide bombings, rauf belittled the fanatical religious motivation of such attacks and said: ?ut what makes people, in my opinion, commit suicide for political reasons have their origins in politics and political objectives and worldly objectives rather than other worldly objectives. but the psychology of human beings and the brittleness of the human condition and how many of us have thought about taking our own lives, we may be jilted, had a bad relationship, you know, didn? get tenure at the university, failed an important course, there? a host of reason why people feel so depressed with themselves that they are willing to contemplate ending their own lives. and if you can access those individuals and deploy them for your own worldly objectives, this is exactly what has happened in much of the muslim world. ? (ipt fact check: here rauf tries to negate that suicide bombings are driven by islamic religious beliefs and trying to equate terrorist activity to someone who doesn? get tenure.) ?on israel, rauf said he does not favor the plan to establish a palestinian state along with israel. instead, ?he differences, perhaps, may lie on whether the solution lies in the two-state solution or in a one-state solution. i believe that you had someone here recently who spoke about having a one land and two people? solution to israel. and i personally ?my own personal analysis tells me that a one-state solution is a more coherent one than a two-state solution. so if we address the underlying issue, if we figure out a way to create condominiums, to condominiamize israel and palestine so you have two peoples co-existing on one state, then we have a different paradigm which will allow us to move forward.? (ipt fact check: a one-state solution is a euphemism for the destruction of israel, because palestinian muslims will quickly outnumber the jewish resident of israel. such a position is advocated by radical groups, such as the palestinian islamic jihad.) ??nd when we observe terrorism,?he said, ?hether it was done by the tamil tigers in sri lanka or by al qaida or whoever is behind the bombings in london or those in madrid, we can see that they were target political objectives. (ipt fact check: rauf again seems to justify terrorist acts by equating hitting civilians with political objectives.) rauf, who is on a trip to the middle east sponsored by the state department, gave the speech on july 12, 2005, at the university of south australia. a patriotic muslim? warning on ground zero mosque posted by aaron elias on august 18, 2010 @ 12:00 am in culture, homeland security, religion, us news | 34 comments////////////// the mosque that the cordoba initiative is planning to build near ground zero has generated a substantial amount of attention across the country. exemplifying the ire of many americans, a recent poll showed that 53% of new yorkers were opposed to the mosque. and while that majority may not include as many muslims as we? like, more and more are speaking up in opposition to the mosque. these muslims offer many americans a vital interpretation of the islamic religion as a whole and show that islam is not in fact a monolithic faith. dr. zuhdi jasser, m.d., president and founder of the american islamic forum for democracy (aifd), is one of these devout yet patriotic muslims. a former u.s. navy lieutenant commander with 11 years of service as a medical officer under his belt, dr. jasser has made it clear that ?ntil anti-islamist muslims wage the intellectual battle against islamism within the muslim consciousness, we will make no headway against ?he narrative [1].?////////// jasser founded aifd in the wake of the 9/11 attacks in order to provide a muslim american voice that would genuinely advocate and defend the founding principles of the u.s. constitution. he has taken the fight against radical islam to heart and sees it as a responsibility of all ?rue?muslims. where many u.s.-based islamic organizations, such as cair and the islamic society of north america, claim to support the u.s. constitution but provide dodgy answers and shoddy excuses for terrorism when the rubber meets the road, dr. jasser? aifd is based on the founding principles of the united states. where cair? rhetoric tends to create a tension between americans and its muslim members, the rhetoric of jasser and aifd refers to americans as an ?s?and not a ?hem.? ? have always looked upon myself, long before 9-11, as a jeffersonian muslim, if you will,?dr. jasser answers when asked about his identification as a muslim. ?long with the ideas of liberty as embodied in the works of our founding fathers, naturally emanating from that is a deep antipathy for islamism (political islam), salafism, jihadism, governmental sharia, and the global collectivist movement of the muslim brotherhood.? terms such as ?oderate,??ecular,?and ?adical?are innately controversial as any group is able to contort them to mean what they want. for example, jasser posits, the term ?oderate?has become synonymous with being non-violent or anti-terrorism. but this is an oversimplification that blinds americans to the very political ideologies ?which he identifies as ?slamism??that are the cogs and gears of terrorism.//////////// ? know everyone is looking for an easy label to know the ?ood muslim?from the ?ad muslim,? jasser continues, ?ut ?i believe that the ?nti-islamist?or at least ?on-islamist?muslims are on our side and the pro-islamist muslims, those who believe in the islamic state and governmental sharia, are not on our side but on the side of political islam.? aifd? slogan is that its members are ?mericans who happen to be muslim, and not muslims who demand to be american.?as a devout muslim, dr. jasser has voiced strong opposition to the mosque now called ?ark 51″ that threatens to encroach on ground zero. when he first heard of the plans, he says, he wrote an op-ed for the new york post [2] detailing why he as a muslim felt a mosque in such a location would only offer more misguidance for the u.s. muslim community. ?he reality is that many of us have never said their rights should be infringed in any way but rather that we pray that a light will finally go on in their heads which tells them that ?his ostentatious $100 million islamic center should be built elsewhere and not in a place that casts a shadow upon the graves of thousands of americans??still an open raw wound for most americans,?dr. jasser explains.////////// jasser also expresses deep concern that the organization funding the mosque, led by imam feisal abdul rauf, has refused to exclude foreign funding from filling its coffers. such financial transactions immediately offer the opportunity for foreign islamists and their sympathizers to preach their version of political islam and sharia, he warns, and present a very significant threat to national security.//////////// ? cannot see genuine muslim reform happening on the dime of foreign islamist interests,?jasser says. ?ake no mistake, this islamic center is not a spiritual statement but a global political one in the name of islam. ?every group i have been directly involved with in building mosques and islamic projects in the u.s. have rejected foreign funds entirely because of the ideological hypocrisies and islamism that comes with them.? dr. jasser? only contact with imam rauf has been indirectly. rauf penned a huffington post article admonishing anyone [3] who thought sharia was incompatible with the declaration of independence, and jasser responded with a commentary at huffpo telling him that muslims need to be ?etting real with shar?ah [4].?rauf? opinion that america must embrace sharia rather than fear it belies the true reality of sharia as implemented by muslim majorities, jasser explains, and demonstrates an intense denial or deception on his part of the innumerable female, non-muslim, ?iberty-minded muslim,?and minority victims of sharia law. dr. jasser has also taken serious issue with the background story that the mosque? developers have chosen to promote.////////// ?he primary developer of the project expected us to believe in a recent interview with cnn [5] that he had been looking for affordable property in manhattan for 5 years and the mosque has ?othing to do with the world trade center,? jasser muses. ?hat runs contrary to the initial public announcements [6], for example, with the washington post from the cordoba initiative and daisy khan, that, ?he building came to us. it goes to show there is a symbolism there, a divine hand in it.?/////////// in addition to the shadowy aspects of the mosque? planning, the issue of the neutrality of the mosque? foreign funders also presents a significant problem. several of the nations that the mosque? organizers have accepted funds from ?qatar, for instance ?serve as cesspools of muslim brotherhood activity and development. ?adical sheikh yusuf qaradawi, the spiritual leader of the muslim brotherhood, spreads his guidance from qatar and via al jazeera, a strongly sympathetic muslim brotherhood media outlet.?jasser says. he adds: ?any of the muslim brotherhood? web outlets operate out of qatar. qaradawi? arabic site regularly admonishes muslims on how to establish islamic states and install sharia law.? in short, dr. jasser finds it difficult to believe that any money donated from any of the 57 muslim majority nations of the organization of the islamic conference would be neutral to american interests or security. a group that has received substantial funds from a qatari foundation will not simply abandon qatar? deep-seated muslim brotherhood sympathies, he argues, and to think so is ridiculous. asked about his stance on the ground zero mosque as an american, dr. jasser recalled his emotions on september 12, 2001. ?t did not matter to me that i was a muslim or believed in the faith of islam,?he says. ?n that day and in every memory of 9/11 i cannot help but think of myself as an american, a patriot, a citizen, a former u.s. navy lieutenant commander. my officer? oath came immediately to mind like a sonic boom as it did again after the fort hood massacre by nidal hasan.? islamists naturally target america because its innate principles allow them to fabricate an external enemy to unify all muslims, dr. jasser goes on. at the oslo freedom forum [7], jasser laid out why americanism and the ideas of liberty are the only weapons against political islam. he discussed how the muslim world has become trapped in a war of ideas between secular nationalist fascism (i.e., saddam hussein, hosni mubarak, and qaddafi) and militant islamism (iran, the taliban, and the muslim brotherhood and its army of offshoots). ?merica is really the only laboratory in the world that gives us the freedom to create a third alternative,?dr. jasser states with certainty. ?hat is, an islam based in modernity that separates mosque and state and celebrates universal religious freedom and liberty.? in that vein, jasser puts forward the explanation that americans?perceptions of muslims will never change until they feel muslim americans are spending our own resources on issues more pressing than gargantuan and ostentatious religious structures that overshadow the ruins of a still-raw wound for americans. focusing on counterterrorism and reform centers built with the goal of countering the hostile ideologies of political islam within the united states are two paths jasser offers that will improve islam? pr with america. most importantly of all, muslim americans should show america that many of them have a completely different idea of what it means to give back to the country that has given them so many freedoms, and take a personal responsibility in combating the ideas of radical islam and its root causes. for now, the possibility of the ground zero mosque coalescing from idea into structure presents not only the insult to the millions of americans who experienced true horror on september 11, 2001, nor the threat of a new mammoth gateway for radical islamic ideas to slip into the u.s., but the threat of sending a message of weakness to islamists the world over. ?t will be used by islamist leadership around the world to say, ?espite the violence that al-qaeda perpetrated on the american population, political islam will always be victorious and from its ashes has risen the largest religious muslim structure in the united states,? jasser warns. ?s the administration continues to move backwards, [outlawing] the use of any specific religious islamic terms like jihad, islamsim, and salafism, the islamists continue to make unopposed headway in the contest of ideas. we are losing the war of ideas.? recent polls have revealed that an increasing number of americans are developing negative views of islam. immediately after 9/11, the numbers sat at 39 percent negative. a 2006 study [8] provided by dr. jasser discovered the numbers had risen to 46 percent negative, nearly half the country? population. the same study also found out that the number of americans who associate islam with acts of violence had nearly tripled from 13 percent to 33 percent in the same five years. dr. jasser blames these numbers in great part on the majority of muslim organizations in d.c. who are ?ictim-mongering front groups for the muslim brotherhood.? ?ntil we treat the affliction of islamism and separate mosque and state and begin a palpable movement against political islam, those opinion polls will only worsen,?jasser points out. ?f the organizers [of the ground zero mosque] were truly moderate, they would not be building mammoth structures like this but rather investing in spreading the ideas of liberty into the muslim community against the ideas of political islam and the muslim brotherhood. they would be teaching american muslim youth to reach out by joining our military and homeland security efforts en masse rather than allowing islamist organizations in d.c. like cair to brainwash young muslims that our military and fbi are anti-muslim and the u.s. is anti-islam.? jasser iterates that he believes the most effective method possible for muslims to reach out to americans would be to organize a movement to hold the 57 organization of the islamic conference nations accountable for all their violations of human rights as well as demand they shift from islamism and state sponsored sharia towards more liberty-minded governments that allow more freedoms to their citizens. ?on? let the islamists set the agenda,?dr. jasser says. ?es, we will not let up against their agenda. but that? defense. we need to generate an offense to preempt the islamists within muslim communities domestically and abroad. ?t aifd our offense in countering the muslim brotherhood project is our muslim liberty project,?jasser goes on. ?e will be rolling that out over the next year and it is patterned after jeffersonian principles of universal religious freedom and principles of liberty targeted to devout muslims. we target muslim youth and young adults in giving them an alternative framework for government and society that is based on our u.s. constitutional principles and the establishment clause. ?[our goal is to] inoculate them against the potent ideas of political islam.?

behind the ground zero mosque, and the radical muslim brotherhood is coming into view. while a couple of u.s. nonprofits ?the cordoba initiative and its sister, the american society for muslim advancement ?are coordinating the new york project, they hardly give the full picture. a saudi charity has sunk more than $300,000 into asma. it? called the kingdom foundation ?headed by alwaleed bin talal, the saudi prince whose 9/11 relief check was rejected after he blamed the attacks on u.s. foreign policy. bin talal is a major financier of muslim brotherhood fronts in the u.s. his foundation is run by saudi hijabi muna abu sulayman, who appears on asma? web site as one of its ?uslim leaders of tomorrow.? ?er work,?according to her official bio, ?ocuses on increasing understanding between islam and the west through establishment of academic centers and programs, both in the middle east and the united states.? sulayman, who spends much of her time in the u.s., happens to be the daughter of dr. abdulhamid abu sulayman, ?ne of the most important figures in the history of the global muslim brotherhood,?according to the global muslim brotherhood daily report. so? the egypt-based brotherhood is the parent of hamas and al-qaida and the source of most of the jihadi ideology and related terror throughout the world today. citing its secret u.s. archives, prosecutors say the brotherhood has a plan to ?estroy?america ?rom within,?and is using its agents and front groups in the u.s. to carry out that strategy. like the mafia, it? highly organized, and uses shells and cutouts to launder money. dr. sulayman? u.s. offices were raided by the feds after 9/11 on suspicion of providing material support to terror groups. an unsealed federal search warrant lists him as chairman and president of the international institute of islamic thought, or iiit, the brotherhood? u.s. think tank. in december 2008, iiit hosted ground zero mosque imam feisal rauf to discuss his shariah index project, which will be housed in the planned 15-story structure. the index will formally rate which governments best follow islamic law, as practiced by saudi. sulayman succeeded rauf? late father, muhammad, as rector of the international islamic university in malaysia. rauf keeps an office in malaysia, and he? held shariah project meetings there. moreover, rauf? 2004 book on islam was published in malaysia under the title, ? call to prayer from the world trade center rubble: islamic dawa in the heart of america post-9/11.?dawa is arabic for proselytizing. in the book, the new york imam calls for a ?ubsidiary entity within the judiciary?in america that adjudicates on shariah compliance. rauf? father was born in egypt. both he and sulayman studied islam in cairo, brotherhood headquarters. sulayman is also listed by the feds as secretary of an islamic school in virginia called gsiss ?at least that? what it used to be called, before it was raided. now it goes by ?ordoba university.? rauf insists he? a ?ealer?trying to build ?ridges?between islam and the west. but these radical brotherhood connections raise new suspicions./////////// ========================================/////////// wall street journal, review & outlook, september 1, 2010///////// letters from the imam//////////// feisel abdul rauf on israel and iran. it isn? often that a 1,400-year-old treaty and letters from the 1970s tell us something about current events. but since imam feisel abdul rauf, the force behind the so-called ground zero mosque, has staked a political claim as a ?oderate muslim,?it? worth taking note of some of his past writings. much has already been made of the imam? comments on ?0 minutes?following 9/11, when he called america an ?ccessory to the crime?and announced that ?sama bin laden is made in the usa.?he has also refused to call hamas a terrorist organization. we?e now come across two letters to the new york times that reveal more about the imam? worldview. in a letter published on november 27, 1977, mr. rauf commented on egyptian president anwar sadat? historic trip to israel and encouraged his fellow muslims to ?ive peace a chance.?that john lennon lyric sounds good. but he added: ?or my fellow arabs i have the following special message: learn from the example of the prophet mohammed, your greatest historical personality. after a state of war with the meccan unbelievers that lasted for many years, he acceded, in the treaty of hudaybiyah, to demands that his closest companions considered utterly humiliating. yet peace turned out to be a most effective weapon against the unbelievers.? he? referring to a treaty in the year 628 that established a 10-year truce between the prophet muhammad and meccan leaders and was viewed by muslims at the time as a defeat. but muhammad used that period to consolidate his ranks and re-arm, eventually leading to his conquest of mecca. imam rauf seems to be saying that muslims should understand sadat? olive branch in the same way, as a short-term respite leading to ultimate conquest.* to drive that point home, he added in the same letter that ?n a true peace it is impossible that a purely jewish state of palestine can endure. . . . in a true peace, israel will, in our lifetimes, become one more arab country, with a jewish minority.? two years later, the imam weighed in on the iranian revolution. in a february 27, 1979 letter, in which he scores americans for failing to apologize to iran for past misdeeds, he wrote, ?he revolution in iran was inspired by the very principles of individual rights and freedom that americans ardently believe in.? at the time, iran? revolution hadn? revealed all of its violent, messianic character. thirty years later it has, yet mr. rauf? views seem little changed. following iran? sham presidential election last year and the crackdown that followed, the imam urged president obama to ?ay his administration respects many of the guiding principles of the 1979 revolution?o establish a government that expresses the will of the people; a just government, based on the idea of vilayet-i-faquih, that establishes the rule of law.? that persian phrase means guardianship of the jurist, which in practice means that all power resides with the mullahs. vilayet-i-faquih is the religious justification for arresting protestors, forcing their confessions and letting them rot in jail. imam rauf has said more moderate things, notably at a memorial service for our former colleague daniel pearl. but his calls for interfaith understanding are hard to square with his support for a strategy of ?eace?in the service of israel? long-term destruction. we asked imam rauf if his views had changed since the 1970s. his complete response: ?t is amusing that journalists are combing through letters-to-the-editor that i wrote more than 30 years ago, when i was a young man, for clues to my evolution. as i re-read those letters now, i see that they express the same concerns? desire for peaceful solutions in israel, and for a humane understanding of iran?hat i have maintained, and worked hard on, in the years since those letters were published.? ###/////////////////// *hudna, a foundational tenet of islam that stipulates the duplicity permissible when muslims war with non-muslims (infidels). the period between the 1st intifada (rocks) and 2nd intifada (guns, bombs) is a text book example, as is the current rearming and reorganizing of the plo, hamas and hezbollah after israel agreed to ceasefires with these muslim enemies.
