Wow, it looks like someone is erasing history.. Let me see Tim McVeigh was a christian, so all christians are terrorists, the christians are trying to take over the country, the US will become a terrorist nation...   As long as infantile hatred is sprayed around, we can all look forward to a life filled with the same... How can such a non issue occupy so much space, easy, when hatred runs the minds of most.

Do Not Let Them Erase Our History

Ground Zero mosque imam a closet Islamist?
Friday May 28, 2010
So says Walid Shoebat, an Arabic speaker who says he found an Arabic-
language interview in which Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf -- the allegedly
liberal/moderate New York imam who wants to build a giant mosque near
Ground Zero to make a statement about religious tolerance and
reconciliation, and to spite radical Islam -- advocates turning
America into an Islamic state. Excerpt:
More recently -- in fact on May 26, one day after his Daily News
column - Abdul Rauf appeared on the popular Islamic website Hadiyul-
Islam with even more disturbing opinions. That's the same website
where, ironically enough, a fatwa was simultaneously being issued
forbidding a Muslim to sell land to a Christian, because the Christian
wanted to build a church on it.
In his interview on Hadiyul-Islam by Sa'da Abdul Maksoud, Abdul Rauf
was asked his views on Sharia (Islamic religious law) and the Islamic
state. He responded:
Throughout my discussions with contemporary Muslim theologians, it is
clear an Islamic state can be established in more than just a single
form or mold. It can be established through a kingdom or a democracy.
The important issue is to establish the general fundamentals of Sharia
that are required to govern. It is known that there are sets of
standards that are accepted by [Muslim] scholars to organize the
relationships between government and the governed. [emphasis added]
When questioned about this, Abdul Rauf continued: "Current governments
are unjust and do not follow Islamic laws." He added:
New laws were permitted after the death of Muhammad, so long of course
that these laws do not contradict the Quran or the Deeds of
Muhammad ... so they create institutions that assure no conflicts with
Sharia. [emphasis in translation]
In yet plainer English, forget the separation of church and state.
Abdul Rauf's goal is the imposition of Shariah law -- in every
country, even democratic ones like the U.S.
I said yesterday that I had no reason to doubt the imam's motives in
establishing this mosque. Let me retract that. It is absolutely par
for the course for American Muslim leaders to speak out of both sides
of their mouths on the question of peace, tolerance and their
intentions, and to get angry when anybody points that out (you really
should read this transcript), and tries to draw them out on what they
really believe. And many non-Muslim Americans, because they have an
emotional need to believe the words of duplicitous Islamic community
leaders, prefer to demonize those who raise perfectly legitimate
questions. I wouldn't say that what Shoebat has uncovered is
conclusive evidence that Rauf is a wolf in sheep's clothing, but I do
think it's enough evidence to be skeptical of him and his stated
intentions, and that he has some hard questions to answer -- among
them, the sources of his funding. If he receives any significant money
from the Muslim Brotherhood, he's radioactive, and here's why. I do
not expect The New York Times to put them to him, though. It could be
that Rauf is genuinely a religious liberal, in an Islamic context, and
was giving an Arabic audience the red meat they require. One way or
the other, he should be questioned hard about what he really believes,
and reporters should not be satisfied with bromides.
I thought just now, "Well, I'll see what Zuhdi Jasser says about this
mosque project and Imam Rauf. If he thinks it's a good idea, and if he
has confidence in this imam, then I'll feel a lot better about this."
Zuhdi is the Muslim-American physician who, with his American Islamic
Forum for Democracy, has taken a strong public stand against the
Muslim Brotherhood and its infiltration of the leadership class of
American Islam. He's suffered for his beliefs and his activism, and
for telling truths that many in the media don't want to hear; he has
credibility. So I just Googled do see if Zuhdi had made any comment
about this affair. Turns out he has published an op-ed about it, and
comes out against the project. Excerpt:
This is not about the building of a mosque or a religious facility. It
is not about religious freedom. This is about a deep, soulful
understanding of what happened to our country on 9/11.
When Americans are attacked, they come together as one, under one
flag, under one law against a common enemy that we are not afraid to
identify. Religious freedom is central to our nation - and that is why
the location of this project is so misguided. Ground Zero is purely
about being American. It can never be about being Muslim.
The World Trade Center site represents Ground Zero in America's war
against radical Islamists who seek to destroy the American way of
life. It is not ground zero of a cultural exchange.
By The Numbers
On September 11th, 2001 4 Flights were hijacked.
American Airlines Flight 11 which left Boston's Logan Airport bound
for Los Angeles before being piloted into the North Tower of the
World Trade Center.American Airlines Flight 77 which left
Washington's Dulles International Airport bound for Los Angeles
before being flown into the Pentagon.
United Airlines Flight 93 which left Newark, N.J., bound for San
Francisco before crashing in Stony Creek Township, Pa United
Airlines Flight 175 which left Boston's Logan Airport bound for Los
Angeles before being piloted into the South Tower of the World Trade
Center.
Why did the mastermind behind the attacks on America of September
11th, 2001 choose these particular flight numbers?
MY THEORY ABOUT THE CHOICE OF FLIGHT 93 WAS THAT 1993 WAS THE YEAR
IN WHICH SADDAM FIRST TRIED TO ASSASSINATE FORMER PRESIDENT BUSH IN
KUWAIT, IT WAS ALSO THE YEAR IN WHICH SADDAM HUSSEIN FIRST TRIED
TO DESTROY THE WORLD TRADE CENTER. IT TURNED OUT TO BE AN UNLUCKY
NUMBER FOR SADDAM HUSSEIN BECAUSE THE PASSENGERS ON FLIGHT 93 BECAME
HEROES AND STOPPED THE PLANE FROM GOING INTO THE WHITE HOUSE.
"White House Was Flight 93 Target

The San Francisco-bound jet had turned toward Washington and U.S.
fighter jets were flying to intercept it when it crashed. All 44
people aboard were killed.
(CBS) A high-ranking al Qaeda detainee told investigators the
intended target of United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed into a
Pennsylvania field on Sept. 11, was the White House.
Government sources said Abu Zubaydah, now in U.S. custody, is
believed to be the source of the information. He is being
interrogated by U.S. officials at an undisclosed location.
Investigators have linked Zubaydah directly to hijackers on board
Flight 93.
United Flight 93 took off from Newark, N.J., and crashed in Somerset
County, Pa.. A recorder on the plane and calls made to people on the
ground indicate passengers fought for control with the hijackers
before it went down.
The San Francisco-bound jet had turned toward Washington and U.S.
fighter jets were flying to intercept it when it crashed. All 44
people aboard were killed.
Officials previously had assumed the White House was a likely
target, but said the Capitol and CIA headquarters in McLean, Va.,
near Washington were other possibilities.Abu Zubaydah is believed to
have played a key role in organizing the Sept. 11 attacks, officials
said. As al Qaeda's top operational planner, he ran the Khalden camp
in Afghanistan, where U.S. investigators have learned many of the
Sept. 11 hijackers trained. This suggests Abu Zubaydah may have had
direct contact with the hijackers and chosen them for training.
He also had telephone contacts with at least one Arab student at
U.S. flight schools, according to a July 10, 2001, memo from a
Phoenix FBI agent.
The CIA, FBI and Pakistani authorities captured and wounded Abu
Zubaydah in a raid by in Faisalabad, Pakistan, in March. He is
believed to have masterminded the failed millennium bombing plots in
Los Angeles and Jordan, and has been linked to failed plots on the
U.S. embassies in Paris and Sarajevo.
Abu Zubaydah was also indirectly linked, through a web of
associations with other al Qaeda members in Europe, to lead Sept. 11
hijacker Mohammed Atta and his cell in Hamburg, Germany. Three
members of the Hamburg cell were suicide hijackers; three others are
still at large. Ziad Jarrah, believed to be the pilot-hijacker of
Flight 93, was a member of the Hamburg cell."

The first attack on the World Trade Center on February 26th, 1993.
The February 26th, 1993 attack marked the 11th anniversary to the
day of the declaration by the Reagan-Bush Administration of February
26th, 1982 that Iraq was no longer a state sponsor of terrorism and
as such was eligible for American loans and grants, which it
subsequently got.
The February 26th, 1993 attack also marked the 2nd anniversary to the
day of the liberation of Kuwait by the U.S. in the first Gulf War.
Remarks at the Commemoration of the Tenth Anniversary of the
Liberation of Kuwait Secretary Colin L. Powell Kuwait City, Kuwait
(US Embassy) February 26, 2001
The World Trade Center was attacked by terrorists associated with
Sheik Rahman on February 26th, 1993. It was Sheik Rahman's group
that murdered Egyptian President Anwar Sadat on the 8th anniversary
to the day of the 1973 Yom Kippur War, October 6th.
Sheik Rahman's son was subsequently found with bin Laden's group
in Afghanistan when the U.S. liberated Afghanistan.

7/7 is one way to write the date July 7th
On July 7th, 1994 Yasser Arafat, PLO chairman drove from Egypt into
Gaza, after 27 years in exile. What Arafat was doing was using the
date of July 7th to re-write a perceived wrong he had felt some
years earlier on another July 7th. It was on July 7th 1986 that the
government of Jordan closed the offices of Yasser Arafat's al-Fatah.
Because a bus bombing occurred in London on July 7th, 2005 it struck
me that the nation that has endured more bus bombings than any other
nation is Israel. There may be a connection between the July 7th,
2005 attacks in London and the terrorists who have targeted Israel
with bus bombings for years.
Recently terrorists in Iraq murdered Egypt's envoy to Iraq.
"Zarqawi group reportedly killed Egyptian ambassador in Iraq
Iraq-Egypt, Politics, 7/7/2005
News reports from al-Jazeera and al-Arabia satellite TV stations
said that Egypt's top diplomat in Iraq to Iraq, Eyhab al-Sharif, had
been executed.
Meantime, Al-Qaida organization in Iraq, led by Abu Musab al-
Zarqawi, had threatened in a statement on the Internet to execute
the chairman of the Egyptian diplomatic mission al-Sharif.
The threat to execute Sharif came a short time after al-Qaida
organization in Iraq issued pictures for the identity cards of the
Egyptian diplomat as an evidence that they are the ones which
kidnapped him.
The statement said the legitimate court of al-Qaida organization in
Mesopotamia decided to "send the ambassador of the state of Egypt to
the Mujahideen (indivduals from Egypt and other states that go to
Iraq to fight with the insurgents) to execute the death penalty
against him." The statement considered that "the embassies in
Baghdad are but monitoring sites to snipe the arriving Mujahideen
and preventing them from having access to their brothers in Jihad in
the land of Mesopotamia (Iraq) and in Afghanistan."
In an attempt to prove that the Egyptian ambassador is their
possession, al-Qaida organization published documents including a
driving Sharif's license and a work card for him at the foreign
ministry and another one for health insurance. On Tuesday the
organization claimed responsibility for kidnapping Sharif."
American Airlines Flight 11 which left Boston's Logan Airport bound
for Los Angeles before being piloted into the North Tower of the
World Trade Center.
Saddam Hussein assassinated his first victim when he was 11 years
old. Fixated on the number 11 ever since then he easily focused on
the World Trade Center as a target because it looked so much like a
number 11 that WPIX TV Channel 11 in New York City used the World
Trade Center in its logo for years.
The World Trade Center also housed an office of the Bank of Kuwait.
Saddam used Rahman's group to punish Sadat for failing to defeat
Israel in the attack on Israel of October 6th, 1973. Saddam also
used Sheik Rahman's group to hit the Speaker of the Egyptian
Parliament during the first Gulf War when Egypt sided with America
against Iraq.
Saddam, acting like a child who is deprived of a toy, who
subsequently
breaks that toy, set fire to the Kuwaiti oil fields as he was being
driven out of Kuwait during the first Gulf War in 1991.

Saddam tried to kill former President Bush in 1993.
Former President Bush's Speech to Congress September 11th 1990. 11
years to the day before September 11th 2001 "In the early morning
hours of August 2d,(1990),a powerful Iraqi army invaded Kuwait. The
crisis in the Persian Gulf also offers a rare opportunity to move
toward an historic period of cooperation. Out of these troubled
times, our fifth objective-a new world order-can emerge."
White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer: we have real and credible

target of United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed into a

source of the information."
Perhaps the following may explain how Saddam knew where former
President Bush might be spending the night of September 10th-11th
2001:
"Like everyone else in the United States, the group stood transfixed
as the events of September 11 unfolded. Present were former secretary
of defense Frank Carlucci, former secretary of state James Baker III,
and representatives of the bin Laden family. This was not some
underground presidential bunker or Central Intelligence Agency
interrogation room. It was the Ritz-Carlton in Washington, D.C., the
plush setting for the annual investor conference of one of the most
powerful, well-connected, and secretive companies in the world: the
Carlyle Group. And since September 11, this little-known company has
become unexpectedly important... there
is nothing accidental about the cast of characters that this
private-equity powerhouse has assembled in the 14 years since its
founding. Among those associated with Carlyle are former U.S.
President George Bush Sr., former U.K. Prime Minister John Major, and
former President of the Philippines Fidel Ramos. And Carlyle has
counted, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdul Aziz Alsaud of Saudi
Arabia, and Osama bin Laden's family among its high-profile
clientele."

and was in attendance at the Carlyle Group's
Washington, DC conference at the
Ritz-Carlton Hotel on September 11, 2001

"The White House is bordered on three sides by buildings that are as
tall or taller than itself. (OEOB, Treasury, and Blair House.) Beyond
these buildings there are still more buildings, that also are taller
than the White House. The only flight path that is relatively
unobstructed if making a controlled, straight-in approach, is from
the south, over the ellipse. Even the Marine helicopter the president
uses comes in from this direction and lands on the South Lawn. The
problem with flying a plane the size of a 757 or 767 in from this
direction is that there's a 555 ft tall structure in the way called
the Washington Monument. The Capitol, although a bigger target, is
similarly situated. There are buildings on all sides except for the
west side, which faces the Mall. Again, for a controlled, straight-in
approach, a pilot first would need to avoid the Washington Monument,
and then fly straight down the Mall. There is more room to do this,
but again, it would take considerable skill. Moreover, the buildings
in Roslyn, just across the river from and to the west of the Mall,
would have to be cleared, which means the plane's altitude would
probably be too high, or the angle of descent too steep to permit a
successful attack by anyone other than a skilled, experienced pilot."
To indicate September 1990 one might well write or type 9/90
It was in September of 1990 that President George Herbert Walker
Bush spoke to Congress on Iraq. On September 11th, 1990 in fact.
What of EgyptAir Flight 990?
Weeks after the last pile of debris from EgyptAir Flight 990 was
pulled from the sea, investigators say they are more
convinced than ever of their original theory: The jet was crashed
deliberately."
"The co-pilot under scrutiny in the crash of EgyptAir Flight 990

an Arabic prayer not once but as many as 10 times just

the current international
situation, especially the U.S aggression on Afghanistan. The Cabinet
brought back a historic
stance Iraq had taken in 1979 when it condemned the military Soviet
invasion of Afghanistan though Iraq had then deep relations with the
Soviet Union and there was a
friendship and cooperation agreement between Iraq and the Soviet
Union, yet this had not prevented Iraq from taking the national
independent stand rejecting Soviet's behavior. History repeats itself
once again in 2001 as Iraq takes the same stance and condemns the US
aggression on Afghanistan....this confirms Iraq's principled stance
rejecting all forms of foreign intervention and aggressions. The
Cabinet discussed issues listed on its agenda and made necessary
decisions and recommendations."
Saddam loves 11th anniversaries, for instance " Saddam Hussein's

was presaged by the attack on the U.S.S. Cole on 10/12/2000. The
terrorists were
engaging in what to them was a private joke regarding their plans
for 9/11/2001.
"Iraq has the motivation and the means to actively support the
Islamist networks of the region*** In the past, there have been
intelligence reports of possible cooperation between Iraq and Osama
bin Laden. Iraq has already tried to assassinate President Bush
Senior in 1993, when he visited Kuwait as a private citizen. In the
attack

been an
Iraqi connection. Iraq has excellent relations with the anti-Western
Yemeni Islamists of the Army of Aden-Abyan, whose militants have been
arrested by the Yemenite authorities in connection with the attack.
Such an attack required long preparations, technical and military
skills and good operational intelligence. In addition, the explosive
used in the attack was sophisticated, a "shaped charge" like a
torpedo or a missile, a device not in use by terrorist
organizations, and
which may have come from a military stockpile."

The shocking news that narco-terrorists in Colombia plotted to
assassinate current President George W. Bush on Monday November
22nd, 2004,
the 41st anniversary of the JFK assassination, needs some
examination.
BCCI, the infamous drug-terror-arms bank that allegedly gave former
President Jimmy Carter $10 million for the Carter Library,had
offices in Peru, where
coca leaves are grown, in Colombia, where the coca leaves are
processed into cocaine, and in Castro's Cuba, and Baathist Syria and
Baathist Iraq. Banks
did not get offices in any of those 3 tyrannies without the approval
of the tyrant.
"Colombian Rebels Planned to Kill President Bush
November 27th, 2004 U.S. National - Reuters
By Hugh Bronstein BOGOTA, Colombia (Reuters) - President Bush was
targeted for assassination by Colombia's biggest Marxist rebel group
this week when he visited the Caribbean port city of Cartagena, a
top Colombian official said on Saturday. "According to informants
and various sources, we had information indicating that various
members of the FARC had been instructed by their leaders to make an
attempt against President Bush," Defense Secretary Jorge Alberto
Uribe told reporters. He would not be drawn out on the details of
the threat. The White House had no immediate comment.
The U.S. Secret Service, which protects the president, said it "does
not comment or release information regarding our protective
intelligence and protective methods." "We do not discuss any alleged
threats to our protectees," said Jonathan Cherry, a Secret Service
spokesman.
There was heavy security in Cartagena when Bush visited the city on
Monday(November 22nd, 2004)on his way back from the APEC forum in
Chile. Military helicopters packed with armed soldiers flew over

The Formation of the Clark Panel: More of the Secret Team at Work? By
Lisa Pease The Clark Panel was the medical panel convened almost
immediately after Ramsey Clark had been approved for his appointment
as Attorney General in 1967. The panel was clearly convened to put to
rest the growing doubts caused by the exposures of Mark Lane, Harold
Weisberg, other researchers and even in late 1966, LIFE magazine
itself. All of the above talked about the evidence of conspiracy, and
the implication is that the medical evidence would either show
conspiracy, or else, signs of tampering. What brought it to a crux
was
Jim Garrison's all-out investigation of the assassination, which, in
1967, was making official story proponents very nervous. One of the
key questions raised by the New Orleans DA was this: Why hadn't the
Warren Commission members examined the autopsy photographs and
X-rays?"
Ramsey Clark also dutifully backed the official findings that Lee
Harvey Oswald and Sirhan Sirhan each acted alone in the
assassinations

Saddam Hussein and Ramsey Clark
Iraq's Hussein won't offer condolences to Bush
September 26, 2001
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Iraqi President
Saddam Hussein said Wednesday
he will not offer condolences to U.S.
President George W. Bush for
those
killed in terror attacks because the
United States is "launching a war
on us"
and his condolences would be
hypocritical.
In a meeting with a representative of
Russian President Vladimir
Putin, Hussein
said, "Bush wants us to pay our condolences, but if I were to do that
I would not be respecting my people. Bush is the president of a state
that is launching a war on us ... in a mean, terroristic manner.
"And if I offered condolences to its president, this would be
hypocrisy, and we are not hypocrites. Since offering condolences is a
kind of courtesy between states, but we offered condolences to small
organizations in America and to an American personality [Ramsey
Clark]
who came to extend condolences for America's calamities against us."
Hussein's remarks were reported by the Iraqi News Agency.

"An Afghani tends to a field of heroin poppies, the sale of which
provides much of the financing for the Taliban and Osama bin Laden.
Afghanistan is the world's No. 1 producer and distributor of heroin,
and illicit drug trafficking is the biggest funding source for
By Rachel Ehrenfeld / Special to The Detroit News About the author
Rachel Ehrenfeld is director of the New York-based Center for the
Study of Corruption and the author of "Evil Money" (HarperBusiness)
and "Narco-Terrorism" (Basic Books).
Moving the money...
In the welter of events following the bombing of the World Trade
Center in Feb. 26, 1993, few noticed that the first man arrested,
Mohammed Salameh—the poor, unemployed illegal immigrant—
offered $5 million for bail. Where could he get this kind of money?
The judge refused bail. But was the source of Salameh's offer the
same as the one that funded the eight men—arrested shortly
afterward—who planned to blow up Manhattan's tunnels and bridges
and to assassinate public officials?
Were the same money sources behind the final attack on the World
Trade Center on Sept. 11?
... For a long time, there has been evidence that terrorist,
international drug trafficking and criminal organizations use the
same fund-raising methods to enrich themselves.
Yet no one seemed to connect the dots. And no one seriously tried to
crack down on their financing.
Bin Laden's is only one among many hostile international criminal
organizations, often state-sponsored, that will do whatever they can
to diminish the status of the United States as the only superpower.
According to a State Department report, the Taliban, who are at bin
Laden's service, has the advantage of controlling the world's
largest heroin production and distribution in the world.
Since the Taliban took over Afghanistan, the heroin production
soared to hundreds of tons each year. In 1999 alone, the world
production of heroin was estimated at 500 metric tons; 400 were
produced by the Taliban and available to fund bin Laden and his
associates worldwide. First warning
The writing was on the wall on July 5, 1991, when the Bank of
England shut down what was the most important Islamic bank in the
world, the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI). This
criminal entity was created by the Pakistani Aaga Hassan Abedi "to
fight the evil influence of the West"; to help with the creation of
the "Islamic Bomb"; to finance all Muslim terrorist organizations;
and to launder the money that was generated mostly by illicit drug
trafficking and other illegal activities, including arms
trafficking.
When BCCI went belly up, we learned from thousands of documents that
Abu Nidal—the notorious Palestinian terrorist organization that
now enjoys the hospitality of Iraq's Saddam Hussein, the Palestine
Liberation Organization (PLO), Hezbollah and bin Laden—had
accounts in the bank. By the end of the 1980s, the "special
services" provided by BCCI included access to Western humanitarian
and international development funds, as well as drug money
laundering, secret transfers of cash and bribes.
A "Black Network," a special enforcement unit supported by Abu Nidal
and other terrorist organizations, operated from Pakistan. The same
Pakistan that harbored bin Laden for many years while its officials
told the United States that they didn't know his whereabouts. And
the same Pakistan that for decades, even according to the State
Department's annual report, had been a major drug trafficking and
money laundering center.
Western blindness
Yet, now more importantly, we also discovered that the American and
British governments knew and kept the bank open for a long time. The
bank "that would bribe God" was able to get away with its criminal
activities for decades due to Abedi's clever portrayal of the Muslim
nations as victims of Western—and particularly U.S.—
"imperialism." And when the bank was shuttered, the accusation in
the Muslim/Arab and Third World countries was that the U.S. and the
United Kingdom governments closed the bank to curtail the growing
fiscal power of Muslim countries.
Like Abedi, anti-American, anti-Western terrorist and radical Muslim
states and organizations, such as the Taliban, Al Qaeda, Hamas,
Hezbollah, the PLO, Iraq and Iran, use Western democratic rhetoric
to their advantage. But it is the willful blindness, mainly toward
the growing volume of drug money laundering, exercised by Western
bankers on the one hand and Western politicians on the other, that
makes money laundering possible, despite the many laws and
international conventions to control this phenomenon.
The BCCI was the first warning to the West. The second warning about
the abuse of European and American financial markets by terrorist
organizations, as well as their involvement in the illicit arms and
drug trade, was made in February 1994 by the British National
Criminal Intelligence Service (NCIS).
The Organized Crime Unit of the NCIS warned that Middle East
terrorist groups and states were targeting the financial centers of
London, Frankfurt and other Western countries, and that they favor
illegal drug trafficking, money laundering and fraud....
Clinton appeasement
Despite its stated policy of not negotiating with terrorists, the
Clinton administration went out of its way to appease a few of the
20th century's most notorious terror groups: the Revolutionary Armed
Forces of Colombia (FARC), the PLO and the Irish Republican Army.
All are heavily involved in the drug trade.
On the eve of the 1993 handshake on the White House lawn between
Israeli Prime Minister Yitzak Rabin and PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat,
Britain's National Criminal Intelligence Service estimated the PLO's
ill-gotten gains to total between $8 billion to $10 billion, with an
annual income of about $1.5 billion to $2 billion from "donations,
extortion, payoffs, illegal arms dealing, drug trafficking, money
laundering, fraud, etc."
Since then, Washington has only aided and abetted the PLO. Since the
start of the Oslo process, Arafat has received at least $3 billion
more from the United States and the international community, without
any serious demand for accountability, according to a report this
year to Congress. Arafat, in well-documented instances, has been
systematically skimming off portions of these funds, as he has with
monies given to him on behalf of the refugees in the camps.
The PLO was in the drug trafficking business almost from the
beginning. Operating from Lebanon, under Habash's able leadership
and assisted by a PLO-owned shipping company SUMUD, the organization
exported hashish, opium, heroin and cocaine, first to Europe and
later even to the United States and Australia. In return, it
obtained weapons for their war against Israel and the West, and
amassed a massive treasure trove. In addition, the PLO and Arafat,
who enjoy the financial and strategic support of Hussein and bin
Laden, have the distinction of being the organization that
promoted "suicide bombers" as a weapon.
Yet the Clinton administration subsidized a multitude of radical
Palestinian groups, ranging from Arafat's Fatah branch of the PLO
and its military wing, the Tanzim, to the socialist-nationalist
Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), headed by
George Habash, all with close ties to bin Laden, Iraq and Iran.
...It was the Clinton White House that, despite evidence to the
contrary, removed Syria from its list of the drug trafficking
countries, to entice Syria to join the "peace process" in the Middle
East.
The failure of that process and the compromises the United States
has made to maintain an illusion of peaceful prospects had no doubt
added to the Muslim radical terrorists' resolve to attack what they
see as a naive and vulnerable America.
In another example of self-delusion, in 1999, then Secretary of
State Madeleine Albright suggested a U.S.-led coalition to negotiate
with the FARC and supported Colombia President Pastrana's "land for
peace" initiative, despite a report from the General Accounting
Office that the FARC is running a major international criminal
enterprise that, among other things, supplies hundreds of tons of
cocaine and heroin to the U.S. black market.
This second Clinton "land for peace" initiative gave half of
Colombia to the narco-terrorist FARC, while doing nothing to
diminish its violence or appetite to control the rest of the
country...."

"The White House is bordered on three sides by buildings that are as
tall or taller than itself. (OEOB, Treasury, and Blair House.) Beyond
these buildings there are still more buildings, that also are taller
than the White House. The only flight path that is relatively
unobstructed if making a controlled, straight-in approach, is from
the
south, over the ellipse. Even the Marine helicopter the president
uses comes in from this direction and lands on the South Lawn. The
problem with flying a plane the size of a 757 or 767 in from this
direction is that there's a 555 ft tall structure in the way called
the Washington Monument. The Capitol, although a bigger target, is
similarly situated. There are buildings on all sides except for the
west side, which faces the Mall. Again, for a controlled, straight-in
approach, a pilot first would need to avoid the Washington Monument,
and then fly straight down the Mall. There is more room to do this,
but again, it would take considerable skill. Moreover, the buildings
in Roslyn, just across the river from and to the west of the Mall,
would have to be cleared, which means the plane's altitude would
probably be too high, or the angle of descent too steep to permit a
successful attack by anyone other than a skilled, experienced pilot."

liberation of Kuwait City, and the 11th anniversary of the event
described above, and that he would launch his 2nd attack on the World

Saddam took credit for the September 11th attacks on America on
Baghdad Republic of Iraq Television. Saddam sent his henchman Osama
bin Laden to attack America and to assassinate former President
Bush, who was at the White House on the morning of September 11th,
2001,just as he had tried to assassinate former President Bush in
Kuwait in 1993. That is why Flight 93 was selected to hit the White
House on the morning of September 11th, 2001. Fortunately the heroes
of Flight 93 stopped that from happening and the plane went down in
Pennsylvania.
Second Attempt to Assassinate President Bush.
We all know that Saddam Hussein attempted to assassinate former
President
Bush in Kuwait in 1993. Laura Bush, wife of the current President
Bush,
along with the current President Bush's brothers, his parents, and
former Secretary of State Baker were actually in the air enroute to
Kuwait when the intelligence came in and their plane was turned back.
Then President Clinton later bombed an empty Iraqi intelligence
building
in retaliation for that attempt in which Saddam's homicide bombers
were
caught in Kuwait.
We believe that the Second Attempt to assassinate former President
George Herbert Walker Bush was made by Saddam Hussein using his
henchman Osama bin Laden on September 11th, 2001.

massive explosions in the centers of power in America, notably the
Pentagon, is a painful slap in the face of US politicians to stop
their illegitimate hegemony and attempts to impose custodianship on
peoples. It was no coincidence that the World Trade Center was
destroyed in suicidal operations involving two planes that have
broken
through all US security barriers to carry the operation of the

and to express rejection of the reckless US policy. Panic has spread
among US official circles, which evacuated the White House following
a
series of explosions. They also evacuated the Pentagon, the State
Department, and Congress and closed down the airports and government
institutions. The collapse of US centers of power is a collapse of
the

Zionism at all international forums to continue to slaughter the

Imagine that you lost a loved one on September 11th, 2001
and you have gone to the Ground Zero area. What
will you hear.
Ground Zero is not Hevron. There will be no one
there to play music to drown out the sounds of
the Mosque's Loudspeakers.

Hevron's Noisy War: Mosque Loudspeakers vs. Jewish Music

by Maayana Miskin
Follow Israel news on  and .
Hevron resident Baruch Marzel is sick of being disturbed by Muslim
prayers, which are broadcast through loudspeakers atop the Tomb of the
Patriarchs (Maarat Hamachpelah) and other local mosques five times a
day. So the veteran Land of Israel activist has rented his own sound
system and says he will play chassidic music 24 hours a day until his
Muslim neighbors agree to turn down the volume while praying.
"They got money from Saudi Arabia to get a loudspeaker system just to
make us miserable. I rented a powerful system and put on Carlebach
every hour of the day. The [IDF] Civil Administration asked me to
stop, I told them that when they stop I'll stop – and believe me,
they'll stop," Marzel explained.
Local Arabs have filed a complaint over Marzel's music, with help from
the pro-Arab organization Yesh Din.
Marzel said he welcomed the complaint. "I'm waiting for them to bring
this complaint forward, to bring this up for public debate." However,
he criticized Yesh Din for taking up the cause, calling members of the
group "anti-Semites and traitors."
Loud chassidic music is an appropriate response to the Muslim muezzin,
said Marzel, who said he was acting "measure for measure," a synomyn
to the concept of an "eye for an eye." Marzel also complained about
Muslim weddings in the Tomb of the Patriarchs, which he said often
continue until 3 a.m., while Jews are asked to end their ceremonies by
11 p.m.
"This is the only way to put an end to Arab abuse of Jews. And it
isn't just here – the muezzin bothers residents of Ramat Shlomo as
well," Marzel said. Even residents of Tel Aviv hear the call to prayer
blasting from the Hassan Bek mosque, he added, "but in Tel Aviv they
don't want to impinge on the sanctity of Islam. So let them keep
suffering."
"We will not suffer. We will fight back," he concluded.
A similar battle took place earlier in the year in the town of Kfar
Veradim in the Galilee. Residents of the town took to playing loud
classical music in response to noisy weddings in the nearby Arab
village of Tarshiha.

Injured officer: Terrorists shouted Allahu Akbar

Border Guard officer recovering from Saturday's shooting attack in
Jerusalem receives visit from internal security minister, says
experience 'was just like watching a movie'

Isam Abu-Rish, the Border Guard officer wounded in Saturday's shooting
attack in Jerusalem, knows things could have been much worse.
"I was at the checkpoint with a few of the other guards when two
ordinary looking guys showed up," he recalled from his hospital bed on
Sunday. "There was nothing suspicious about them, and then all of a
sudden one of them shot me in the back, from point-blank range.

"I pulled away, and I saw he was trying to take another shot, but his
gun jammed, and I shot him. The other terrorist started running at me,
so I shot him too.
"It was like something out of a movie," he added. "They were even
shouting 'Allahu Akbar'."
Rish said he has every intention of returning to full service as a
Border Guard offices when he recovers.
Security forces continued their investigation into Saturday's
shooting, finding that both terrorists were from the village of Jabel
Mukaber near Jerusalem.
Both were 23, and carrying Israeli IDs. The death of a third
Palestinian, believed a bystander, is still under investigation.

Internal Security Minister Avi Dichter visited the two wounded
security personnel at Hadassah Ein Kerem Sunday, accompanied by top
police brass.
"The fact that the attack was carried out by Arabs carrying Israeli
IDs makes last night's event that more serious," said Dichter.
"Unfortunately, this isn't an unusual event, we must prevent such
things from reoccurring," he added.

After 9/11, the FBI released a handwritten hijackers' letter found in
three separate copies—at Dulles, at the Pennsylvania crash site, and
in Mohamed Atta's suitcase. It included a checklist of final reminders
for the 9/11 hijackers. An excerpt reads: "When the confrontation
begins, strike like champions who do not want to go back to this
world. Shout, 'Allahu Akbar,' because this strikes fear in the hearts
of the non-believers." Also, in the cockpit voice recorders found at
the crash site of Flight 93, the hijackers are heard to be reciting
the Takbir as the plane plummeted toward the ground. [3] [4] [5] [6]

Violence Shocking!
Five-year-old Ukrainian boy slaughtered by Muslim shouting "Allahu

And authorities are worried that this horrific slaughter will "ignite
tension" -- instead of calling upon the Muslim community to renounce
once and for all any and all teachings involving any kind of violence
against Infidels. "Ukrainian Boy, 5, Slaughtered 'Like a Goat' by
Religious Fanatic," from NewsCore, June 22 (thanks to DJM):
A 5-year-old Ukrainian boy was slaughtered by an alleged religious
fanatic as he played in a sandpit with his friends, Pravda reported
Tuesday.
The stranger strolled up to little Viktor Shemyakin before pointing to
a tree and saying: "Look, there is a bird up there."
When the youngster glanced upward the maniac plunged a knife into his
throat, Pravda said.
The June 18 killing has threatened to ignite tension in the town of
Dneprovka, in Ukraine's Crimea region, after it emerged that the 27-
year-old knifeman was a suspected Muslim fanatic, the Russian online
newspaper reported.
The victim's three-year-old sister Lena Shemyakina and her five-year-
old friend were among a group of young children who witnessed the
horrifying attack.
Viktor's mother, named only as Angelina, heard their screams and ran
out of the house to find her child lying in a pool of blood.
Police arrested Server Ibragimov, three hours later at his parents'
house, where he was reportedly hiding in the loft.
"The man screamed Allahu Akbar (Arabic for 'God is great') when
killing the boy, "said a shocked local. "The kid was slaughtered like
a goat."

One of the most tragic elements involved in the Ground Zero Mosque
controversy is the polarization the controversy is creating.

We need always to love the actors even though we may
despise their actions. We need to act in ways that can heal
the actors. We are, sadly, at war against some very evil people.
Not all Moslems are evil. Nor were all Germans in Nazi Germany
evil. But there were far too few "Good Germans" then who were
willing to stand up to Hitler and there are far too few "Good Moslems"
now who are willing to stand up to the murderers who are slaughtering
people around the world.  Islam is not, ipso facto, an evil religion,
but
it is being used for evil purposes by some, not all, Moslems.

Sometimes we act as individuals or in groups, out of anger.
I always seek to put a D in front of the word anger to spell
Danger. Our anger, either individually or collectively can be
dangerous
to others or to ourselves as indivudals or as groups, or both.

A very angry video and the link to it is below.
We have titled it IS AMERICA LOSING ITS MIND.
We do not by any means agree with every word of the
video but much of it is thoughtful and much of it is though provoking,
or should be. We need also to remember that we all need to reach
out to one another with love. We all also need to stand up to the
murderers. We are at war. We hope one day to live in a world
at peace. Building a Mosque at Ground Zero is unfortunately
not a pathway to peace. It is instead another act of war against
the civilized world. Such acts of war do not lead to peace.
They only lead to more war. No thoughtful person, be she or he Moslem,
or of any other faith, or no faith, should support the act of war
that building a Mosque at Ground Zero is.

Why terrorists do what they do... in their own words.

I am one of the servants of Allah.  We do our duty of fighting for the
sake of the religion of Allah.  It is also our duty to send a call to
all the people of the world to enjoy this great light and to embrace
Islam and experience the happiness in Islam.  Our primary mission is
nothing but the furthering of this religion.
Osama bin Laden, May 1998

Aside from pursuing mass murder plots against innocent populations in
every corner of the planet, Islamic terrorists have one other thing in
common:
They credit their motivation and success to religion.
This distinguishes Islamic terrorism from mere criminal activity, and
it is part of what makes Islam so very, very different from other
religions.
Many people would prefer to bury their heads in the sand or look for
ways to recast Islamic terror to fit their own political agenda, but
the fact is that violent Muslims are quite explicit about the
religious certainty that compels and justifies their actions.
The teachings and history of Islam that explain the violence are
discussed elsewhere on this site.  Here we just want to show that, as
far as Islamic terrorists are concerned, their acts are done
specifically in the name of Allah and for the cause of Islam and
Islamic rule... across the globe.

necessary to strike the active unbeliever combatants for the purpose
of killing them, snatch their souls from their body, cleanse the earth
from their abomination, and lift their trial and persecution of the

ZOA Criticizes Obama & Clinton For Sending Israel-Hater,
Terror Apologist Salam Al-Marayati To Speak For U.S. Overseas
February 4, 2010
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Morton A. Klein
Phone: 212-481-1500
Marayati condemned pre-9/11 U.S. strikes on Al-Qaeda
The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) has criticized the Obama
Administration and Secretary Clinton's State Department for sending
the director
the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), Salam Al-Marayati, overseas
to speak
on behalf of the United States. Al-Marayati is a vocal Israel-hater
and
apologist for Islamist terrorism who has who has called for Israel's
destruction; suggested Israel be placed on a suspect list as the
possible
perpetrator of the 9/11 acts of terrorism; condemned already in the
1990s
American air strikes of Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and Sudan; and
defended the
rights of Holocaust deniers.
According to MPAC, "Executive Director Salam Al-Marayati traveled to
Europe at
the invitation of the State Department to speak about religious
freedom and free
speech. He spoke at UNESCO in Paris and at the U.S. mission to the
United
Nations in Geneva" (`Al-Marayati Explores Religious Freedom & Free
Speech in
Paris & Geneva,' MPAC News release, January 28, 2010).
MPAC was established initially in 1986 as the Political Action
Committee of the
Islamic Center of Southern California whose key leaders are believed
to have had
their origins in the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim
Brotherhood has
been a leading intellectual force behind the Islamist phenomenon and
its leading
figures, like Sayyid Qutb, inspired Al Qaeda figures like Ayman al-
Zawahiri,
Osama Bin Laden's second-in-command.
MPAC has opposed virtually every counter-terrorist initiative
undertaken or
proposed by the U.S. government, claiming often that U.S. counter-
terror efforts
were aimed at the U.S. Muslim community. MPAC has developed extensive
relationships with the U.S. government which have included numerous
meetings
with the Department of Justice and the FBI.
Renowned terrorism expert Steven Emerson has published long essays
about the
deeply troubling statements and actions of MPAC and Al-Marayati
himself.
Salaam Al-Marayati's record:
· Calls for Israel's destruction: "the establishment by force,
violence
and terrorism of a Jewish state in Palestine in 1948" was "unjust" and
"a crime"
and vowed to "work to overturn the injustice" (MPAC co-signed public
statement,
Sep. 17, 1993).
· Condemns pre-9/11 American military strikes upon Al-Qaeda in
Afghanistan and Sudan: Said these strikes, following the al-Qaeda
bombings of
U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were "illegal, immoral and
illogical" (MPAC
press release, August 24, 1998).
· Israel might be perpetrator of 9/11: "If we're going to look at
suspects, we should look to the groups that benefit the most from
these kind of
incidents, and I think we should put the state of Israel on the
suspect list,
because I think this [the 9/11 attacks] diverts attention from what's
happening
in the Palestinian territories so that they can go on with their
aggression and
occupation and apartheid policies" (David Firestone, `A NATION
CHALLENGED:
RELIGION; For Some Jewish Leaders, Partnership With Muslims Is a
Casualty of
Sept. 11 Attacks,' New York Times, October 22, 2001).

· Calls Israel's supporters Nazis: comparing Israel's supporters to
Hitler; MPAC displayed a campus exhibit stating that "Zionism is
Nazism"
(Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, June 1994; L.A. Jewish
Journal,
November 2, 2001).

· Defends French Holocaust denier Roger Garaudy: Described France's
fining of Garaudy for Holocaust denial as "persecution of his right to
express
an opinion" (The Minaret, Vol.20, No.3, 1998).

· Gives anticipatory justification of Islamist terrorist assaults on
America: "Where Israel goes, our government follows ... What is
important is
whether the American people are aware of and ready for the
consequences" (MPAC
article, `What Do We Expect?,' Apr. 5 1997).

· Blames Palestinian terrorism on Israel: Jews murdered by
Palestinians
are "the expected bitter result of [Israel's] reckless policy" (Jewish
Exponent
[Philadelphia], October 18, 2001).

· Calls for extradition of Israelis who killed a rampaging Muslim
terrorist in Jerusalem: When in February 1996 a Palestinian, Muhammad
Hamida
shouted the war cry, `Allahu Akbar' (Allah is Great), drove his car
intentionally into a crowded bus stop in Jerusalem, killing one
Israeli and
injuring 23 others and was shot dead, Marayati said not a word about
Hamida's
murderous attack while calling his killing "a provocative act," and
demanded the
extradition of his executors to America "to be tried in a U.S. court
on
terrorism charges."

So extreme is Al-Marayati's record that some of these statements
caused
Marayati's 1999 appointment to a U.S. congressional committee on
terrorism to be
rescinded.

ZOA National President Morton A. Klein said, "It is deeply disturbing
and
offensive that the Obama Administration and Hillary Clinton's State
Department
would go out of its way to select a man with long record of Israel-
bashing and
apologetics for terrorism, who even called for Israel's destruction
and
described its creation a "crime," to go overseas speaking on behalf of
the
United States.
"Back in 1999, when the U.S. Congress become aware of Al-Marayati's
record,
after reviewing information about him released by Steve Emerson and
the ZOA, his
appointment as a member of the U.S. Congress Committee on Terrorism
was
rescinded.
"Such an ill-conceived decision calls into question the Obama
Administration's
commitment to combating Islamist extremists. Indeed, in the
Administration's
refusal to even refer to Islamist extremists and its tendency to refer
to
terrorist acts perpetrated by Islamists as `man-made disasters,' we
see a deeply
concerning blindness to the threat. In the invitation to Al-Marayati
to speak
overseas, we see further lack of seriousness about dealing with the
problem.
Such spokesmen and organizations should be shunned, not courted and
never given
the credibility of the imprimatur of the U.S. government."
http://www.zoa.org/sitedocuments/pressrelease_view.asp?pressreleaseID=1810

The Muslim Public Affairs Council is a group
founded and
headed by Salam Al-Marayati.
He's the man whose views on terrorism were so problematic that, after
an outcry, Rep. Richard Gephardt withdrew his support for Mr.
Al-Marayiti as a nominee to a federal anti-terrorism commission.
According to an article in the August 22, 1998, Los Angeles Times,
the Muslim
Public Affairs Council called America's 1998 missile strikes on
Osama Bin
Laden's training camps in Afghanistan "illegal" and "immoral."
Again, Daniel
Pipes, in an article posted on
DanielPipes.org, is instructive.
Mr. Pipes writes of Mr. Al-Marayati:
"Here are three elements of his radicalism: First, he wraps the
American flag around some of the least attractive features of Middle
Eastern life. In 1993, he memorably asserted that 'When Patrick Henry
said, "Give me liberty or give me death," that statement epitomized
jihad [Islamic holy war].'
In 1996, he made the silly and inaccurate
observation that 'American freedom fighters hundreds of years ago
were also
regarded as terrorists by the British.' Mr. Al-Marayati's intent
here is
obvious: to render jihad and terrorism acceptable to
Americans." Mr. Pipes continued: "Second, Mr. Al-Marayati apologizes
for the most ghastly Middle Eastern regimes and draws moral
equivalencies between them and America. In his view, Iraq is no
better or worse
than America: 'Saddam Hussein's behavior in and around Iraq has been
characterized as reckless. The same can be said about U.S. policy as
a result of
its reactionary mode.' . . .
Third, Mr. Al-Marayati turns a blind eye to terrorism if it is of a
fundamentalist Muslim persuasion (not a great credential for someone
hoping to serve on a counter-terrorism commission).
Take the February
1996 incident when a Palestinian named Muhammad Hamida shouted the
fundamentalist war cry, Allahu Akbar (Allah is Great), as he drove
his car
intentionally into a crowded bus stop in Jerusalem, killing one
Israeli and
injuring 23 others. Before he could escape or hurt anyone else,
Hamida was shot
dead. Commenting on the affair, Mr. Al-Marayati said not a word
about Hamida's
murderous rampage but instead focused on Hamida's death, which he
called 'a
provocative act,' and demanded the extradition of his executors to
America 'to
be tried in a U.S. court' on terrorism charges."



Who Is Really Politicizing Ground Zero

by Daniel Greenfield

After crunching the numbers and realizing that backing a mosque near
Ground Zero, plays to average Americans about as well as flag burning
on 4th of July, the Dems have emerged with a new talking point. The
Republicans are "politicizing" Ground Zero.

Thanks to the exposure of Journolist, we've already seen how liberal
media pundits and Democratic campaign strategists collaborate to
develop and distribute talking points in response to a setback. Now
we're seeing the same thing at work as Time's Mark Halperin goes
around promoting the "politicizing Ground Zero" talking point.

It's already been picked up by Senator Robert Menendez and Governor
Christie, who worked to help Hamas linked Imam, Mohammad Qatanani,
stay in America.

But let's talk about who's really been politicizing Ground Zero. The
mosque's biggest supporter, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, had aggressively
tried to politicize Ground Zero back in 2005 with the International
Freedom Center, with George Soros and the ACLU pushing exhibits on
Islamophobia and the loss of civil liberties in America.

Governor Pataki shut down the IFC's plans to politicize Ground Zero
over Bloomberg's loud protests. Meanwhile the current plans for
exhibits commemorating 9/11 at the site are being attacked by liberals
complaining about a "lack of context", which is their way of saying
that they want to politicize the site by suggesting that America was
to blame.

The New York Times has added its voice to the chorus of complaints
about "politicizing Ground Zero". But in 2005, the Times editorial
complained that Campaign America's call to refrain from politicizing
Ground Zero is Un-American. The cynicism here is virtually
unbelievable.

The entire "Politicizing Ground Zero" talking point is a response to
the fallout from Obama's own attempt to politicize Ground Zero by
pandering to a Muslim crowd. When the polls number turned red, the
media rushed to attack Republicans for politicizing Obama's own
politicization of the issue. They claimed that Obama had just been
functioning as a Constitutional law professor, delivering an abstract
lecture on law at a White House event aimed at pandering to Muslims.

The transparent ridiculousness of this excuse is almost lost in the
clamor of self-righteousness, as the biggest supporters of the IFC
suddenly discover a heartfelt desire not to allow politics to intrude
on Ground Zero.

But just as with the IFC, the real politicization comes from Islam and
the Left. It was Imam Rauf's plan for a Cordoba House mosque near
Ground Zero that was a deliberate attempt to politicize the site, with
an Islamic message. Rauf himself emphasized the location, "New York is
the capital of the world, and this location close to 9/11 is iconic."

In response to Governor Patterson's suggestion that he move the mosque
elsewhere, Rauf backtracked claiming that, "this has always been about
serving Lower Manhattan". But there is no actual Muslim community in
Lower Manhattan, certainly not one that requires a 100 million dollar
mosque.

Rauf himself had previously admitted that his mosque does not cater to
any Lower Manhattan community:

"The people who come here for jum'a [prayer] come from within the New
York tri-state area. Of course, the majority work around here, but a
number of them come from Uptown, Brooklyn or New Jersey, specifically
to participate in the Friday prayer here and to hear my sermon."

The mosque he has now serves Muslims who work in the area. Commuters.
This isn't about serving a phantom Muslim community in Lower
Manhattan. And commuters don't need a 100 million dollar mosque and
community center. Based on the likely number of his worshipers, Rauf
would be spending roughly a million dollars per Muslim for a facility
that very few of them even live near to.

Imam Rauf and his media defenders have compared this to building a
Jewish community center.

But there are over 25,000 Jewish households in Lower Manhattan, or
almost 20 percent of the population. There is no statistically
significant Muslim population in the area. The 2000 census showed
3,522 people living in the Ground Zero mosque zip code, 375 of whom
identified as Asian.

Considering the proximity of Chinatown, it's likely that they actually
are Asian, as opposed to Pakistani or Bangladeshi. (And the director
of Al Arabiya has confirmed that: "there are no practicing Muslims in
the area who need a place to worship".) What the census numbers also
show is that the mosque is being built in an area with a small
residential population, that is heavily commercial, with far more
offices than homes.

Even if everyone living in that zip code were a Muslim, Rauf would
still be proposing to spend nearly 30,000 dollars per Muslim on the
mosque. But since they are not Muslims, what Rauf is proposing is a
100 million dollar expansion in an area whose Muslims are outside
commuters and generally use basement and storefront mosques.

Building a 100 million dollar facility for Muslims that most of them
can only use on their lunch break or briefly after work, before they
go home to Brooklyn or New Jersey, is not about serving the community.
It's about making a statement. There would be no way to raise that
kind of money otherwise.

Rauf is not building a facility that local Muslims need. His flock
comes from different boroughs and states entirely. They hang around
Lower Manhattan as part of the Hallal Mafia, peddling unhygienic
burned food from carts, or in storefronts selling cheap knockoffs of
brand name merchandise, pirated DVDs and used clothes below Broadway.
Some of them work as financial analysts helping Wall Street get the
whole Sharia Finance thing right.

There might be a call for a 100 million dollar facility aimed at
Muslims in Jersey City or off Atlantic Avenue, but no need or use for
it near Ground Zero.

There is no reason to build a Mosque there, except to make a
statement. Rauf admitted as much early on, billing the mosque as part
of a campaign of tolerance or healing, knowing that most liberals
would not look past such euphemisms and enthusiastically embrace the
project to showcase their vaunted tolerance, and rejection of "right
wing extremists".

That Rauf himself is quite the extremist has not interested them at
all. The same Time Magazine which wrings its hands over the
"politicization" of Ground Zero has whitewashed Rauf and his own plans
to politicize the site. Just as the rest of the media has ignored the
inconsistencies in Rauf's changing story, questions about where the
money is coming from, and the most elementary question—who actually
needs the Ground Zero Mosque.

But the media's endorsement for the Ground Zero Mosque is radically
out of step with most Americans and with most New Yorkers. When the
ADL and the Simon Wiesenthal Center both rejected the mosque, they
were in line with the 66 percent of Jewish New Yorkers who oppose the
mosque.

Their leftist critics on the other hand were out of step and wrong.
And as a sign that Jewish New Yorkers are ahead of the curve in
recognizing what Islam is, a higher percent of Jews, than Catholics or
Protestants, said that Islam encourages violence. Despite the leading
questions, nearly a tie at 41 to 42 percent. Catholics were not very
far behind at 31- 48. New York City Protestants on the other hand
insisted that Islam was peaceful at a ratio of 68 to 12.

Latinos oppose the Ground Zero Mosque in higher numbers than even
whites at 60 percent to 56 percent. Jews oppose it by 66 percent. 49
percent of them have an unfavorable view of Islam.

New York Women were more likely to have an unfavorable view of Islam
than men. Women were more likely to think that Islam encourages
violence, and less likely to see it as a peaceful religion. And they
were more likely to oppose the mosque than men, 54 to 50. Statistics
that can probably be explained by Muslim gendered violence and attacks
on women. But what these numbers mean is that even Democrats in one of
the more liberal cities in America, can't win on this issue with
Latino, Jewish, Catholic or Women voters. And without those votes,
their only base of support is located on the Upper East Side.

This is why Congressional Democrats and their media defenders are
running scared. Because they can't win on this, and they know it. And
so after endorsing Rauf's politicization of Ground Zero, they're now
claiming that it's Republicans who oppose his Islamist politicization
of Ground Zero that are the ones politicizing it.

It's a repeat of the same cynical game they played 5 years ago with
the IFC. The only right answer is to stand up to the Cordoba House's
attempt to politicize Ground Zero. But instead of doing that, they've
tried to take the issue off the table. Which just means silencing
anyone who dares speak out against the Ground Zero Mosque.

The facts are in. We know Imam Rauf's support for Islamic law, which
treats Christians, Jews and Women as inferior. We know that the Ground
Zero Mosque has no legitimate purpose. That it does not exist to serve
a local community. We know that the money is coming from the same
countries that financed Al Queda.

We know. And we know who's really politicizing Ground Zero. It's the
Left and Islam who refuse to let the dead rest, without shoving in
their revisionist history into the mix. Without trying to hijack the
site to suit their own agenda.

Enough is enough. We know the truth. And we will not be silenced.

OBAMAS RADICAL GUESTS

by Joseph Klein

With all of the hubbub surrounding President Obama's apparent
endorsement of the Ground Zero mega mosque and community center
complex at last week's White House Ramadan dinner, none of the cable
talk shows that I have watched have bothered to examine the guest
list. I think that is a mistake because the guest list gives some
insight into what Obama really believes.

Amongst all of the ambassadors and other dignitaries, two "community"
leaders with a radical Islamic agenda stand out.

The first was Dr. Ingrid Mattson, president of the Islamic Society of
North America (ISNA).

ISNA was named as an unindicted co-conspirator of the Holy Land
Foundation for Relief and Development, an Islamic "charity" which was
convicted in 2008 by a federal jury for giving more than $12 million
to the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas.

One month after 9/11, Dr. Mattson described the extremist Wahhabism
ideology that inspired the 9/11 terrorists this way:

    It is the name of a reform movement that began 200 years ago to
rid Islamic societies of cultural practices and rigid interpretation
that had acquired over the centuries. It really was analogous to the
European Protestant Reformation.

In a September 2002 interview with PBS, Mattson stated that she did
not see "any difference" between Christian leaders criticizing Islam
or al Qaeda on the one hand, and Osama bin Laden citing "Islamic
theology to justify violence against Americans" on the other.

And apparently, President Obama is following Mattson's advice in
purging the phrase "Islamic terrorism" from his administration's
lexicon. Is it any wonder that she was on Obama's guest list for the
Ramadan dinner?

Salam Al-Marayati, a co-founder and director of the Muslim Public
Affairs Council.

This is an individual who likes to speak about building bridges and
inter-faith dialogue, but only as a cover for his more radical views.
What Islamists such as Al-Marayati like to do is invert the meaning of
American ideals and history to suit sharia (Islamic law) and the
Islamic narrative of the oppressed victim. For example, he said that:

    When Patrick Henry said, 'Give me liberty or give me death,' that
statement epitomized jihad [Islamic holy war].

Al-Marayati has also excused Palestinian terrorism and condemned
Israeli acts of self-defense. Back in 1996, for example, a Palestinian
named Muhammad Hamida shouted Allahu Akbar (Allah is Great) as he
drove his car intentionally into a crowded bus stop in Jerusalem,
killing one Israeli and injuring 23 others. He was shot dead before he
could wreak any further mayhem.

Who did Al-Marayati choose to condemn? Not the terrorist, but rather
the person or persons who ended his rampage, whom Al-Marayati demanded
be extradited to the United States for trial in an American court on
terrorism charges!

This so-called "moderate" was so bad that in 1999 then-House
Democratic Leader Richard Gephardt of Missouri decided to withdraw his
nomination of Salam Al-Marayati to the 10-member National Commission
on Terrorism that was being formed.
It gets even worse. Al-Marayati's Muslim Public Affairs Council has
issued policy papers which argue for the removal of Hezbollah and
Hamas from U.S. terrorist designations.
And on the very day of the horrific 9/11 attacks, on a Los Angeles
radio program al-Marayati said

    If we're going to look at suspects, we should look to the groups
that benefit the most from these kinds of incidents, and I think we
should put the state of Israel on the suspect list because I think
this diverts attention from what's happening in the Palestinian
territories so that they can go on with their aggression and
occupation and apartheid policies.

Now, this same Salam Al-Marayati is a guest in President Obama's White
House along with his fellow radical Islamist Dr. Ingrid Mattson.

You can learn a lot about someone by the company he keeps – or, in
President Obama's case, the people he invites to dinner at the White
House.

Ground Zero Mosques Hidden Websites Follow the Shariah
by Christine Brim

Do the math. The 15 floors planned for the Ground Zero Mosque just
don't add up.

What's the goal?

Maybe the Imam's goal is not simply to force a provocative
"insensitivity" about 9-11 on the American public, with the help of
America's elites. Maybe the Imam's long-term goal is to force Shariah
law on the American public – of course, again, with the help of
America's elites.

Why don't the 15 floors add up?

How many floors does Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf need for the mosque
portion of this triumphal Islamic command center planned for the two
building sites at 45-47 Park Place in New York City? Think about it:
maybe 2 floors for the mosque itself and related offices. A 3rd floor
for the swimming pool, a 4th for the 500 seat auditorium, a 5th for
the halal restaurant and halal culinary school, a 6th for the art
studios, the childcare center and library, a 7th for the gym and
basketball court. Add an 8th floor for miscellaneous storage and
offices. And then add a 9th floor for the September 11 memorial, an
after-thought that was recently added to the Imam's plan, although
that may in fact be more of a room off to one side than a whole floor.

That leaves six mystery floors empty – or dedicated to other
activities. Six floors – that's a lot of offices, a lot of employees,
maybe more than half of the 150 full-time and 500 part-time jobs the
Imam says he'll bring to Lower Manhattan. What are Imam Feisal Abdul
Rauf's plans for those six mystery floors?

Follow the Shariah Index Project to solve the puzzle of the 6 mystery
floors:

We found two hidden websites with copiously deleted information, all
about the Imam's Cordoba Institute Shariah Index Project. For
reference, here's the Imam's most recent hidden website (also
available here as a pdf). And here's the Imam's earlier hidden website
(also available here http://bigpeace.com/files/2010/08/http___174.132.114.190_arkdev__qcontent_shariah-index-project.pdf
as a pdf). The information on those websites – information that the
Imam tried to hide with a new whitewashed version – suggests that the
six mystery floors of the Ground Zero Mosque will be dedicated to the
Imam's long-term goal: the Shariah Index Project, designed to
benchmark Shariah compliance, to distribute Shariah propaganda, and to
enforce Shariah law in America and worldwide.

Drawing from those hidden webpages and other sites, we've constructed
a timeline for the Shariah Index Project and a partial list of Rauf's
partners in the Project. In Part 2, we'll reveal the disturbing
background and views of those partners. And in Part 3, we'll present
the bottom line – how this all ties together as a historic Islamist
effort to market and to enforce Shariah in America, starting from
Ground Zero.

Numbered Documents, for everyone's convenience!

Below, from the hidden websites, is the evidence Rauf tried to cover-
up. We've even numbered the Shariah Index Project documents he
mentioned, to make it easy for the Imam and his staff – for example,
Courtney Erwin, attorney and director of the Shariah Index Project and
corporate contact for the Cordoba Institute - to provide copies to the
American public.

Courtney Erwin could end the cover-up of these documents today, given
her leading role in the Shariah Index Project since its inception.
Erwin, by the way, has been working in Doha (Qatar, home of jihad-
supporter Sheik Qaradawi, so admired by Imam Rauf) for the past three
months. She states that her team includes a "Qatari legal researcher,"
presumably for ongoing work on the Shariah Index Project.

She may also be working with one of the core Shariah experts
partnering in the Shariah Index Project, Dr. Jasser Auda, since
January 2010 an Associate Professor in the Public Policy Program,
Faculty of Islamic Studies, Qatar Foundation in Qatar. (Qatar is also
one of the countries Imam Rauf is scheduled to visit on his State
Department-funded trip this summer.) Look for much more on Erwin and
Auda in Part 2.

American citizens and their elected officials should ask Rauf, Erwin
and their associates to end the Shariah Index Project cover-up, and to
disclose all documents, meeting notes, emails and attendee lists from
2006 to the present day. You don't ask, you don't get.

August 2006 – The Planning Meeting – Meeting #1

We know from the first hidden website that the Shariah Index Project
(SIP) had its initial meeting in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in August
2006. Attendees explored the idea of creating an "index" to measure
the degree of Shariah governance for ALL nations, and deliverables
from the meeting were (1) a "vision" statement and (2) a roadmap for
the project. Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf convened and chaired this meeting,
which included "four scholars from India, Malaysia, and Pakistan."
From the second hidden website, we know that these first four
participants Rauf recruited were international leaders affiliated with
the Muslim Brotherhood - and on key advisory boards in Shariah
Compliant Finance:

Professor Dr. Mahmood Ahmad Ghazi, Pakistan, (Chairman of the Shariah
Board for the State Bank of Pakistan and former president of
International Islamic University);

Professor Dr. Mohammad Hashim Kamali, Malaysia (Dean of the
International Institute of Islamic Thought & Civilization and Former
Interim Chairman, Constitutional Review Committee, Afghanistan);

Professor Dr. Tahir Mahmood, India (Founder/Chairman, Amity University
Institute for Advanced Legal Studies, New Delhi, and former Dean of
the Faculty of Law, Delhi University);

Dato' Abdul Hamid Mohamad, Malaysia (Judge, Federal Court of Malaysia
… Malaysian Supreme Court). [Such a small world here at Big Peace -
this is the same judge honored by Elena Kagan in the Al-Sanhuri
lecture series at Harvard on November 11, 2008, as we reported here a
couple weeks ago.]

February, 2007 - Expanding the Core Group – Meeting #2

The original five Shariah authorities (1 from Pakistan, 3 including
Rauf from Malaysia, 1 from India) met again, adding five more members
from Indonesia, Iran (to "represent the Shi'a perspective," possibly
Mohammad Javad Larijani – see Bayefsky's research below for August
2008), Turkey, Pakistan and Malaysia. This new Group of Ten Shariah
Index Authorities created a new (3) Roadmap (2.0), and a new (4) Basis
for Evaluation Document,which sets out an initial list of Islamic
legal principles relating to governance. The group also distributed
(5) Research Assignments, which would support the project and which
they would present at the next meeting.

May 2007 – The First Draft of the Shariah Index – Meeting #3

This was a very productive session, involving the same ten Shariah
experts. They refined the Basis for Evaluation document, resulting in
the "creation of two new documents: (6) Essential Features of Shariah-
Compliant Governance and the first iteration of the (7) Shariah Index
(1.0), inclusive of seventy-four principles of Islamic governance
derived from Islamic law."

"Additionally, the group developed a (8) Strategic Plan for the
project, which highlighted key dates and tasks. They also identified a
(9) short and long-list of scholars to approach for support."

October 2007 - Expansion and Operations Plans – Meeting #4

The Core Group of Ten grew to at least 14 members, with new Shariah
authorities from Bahrain, England (possibly Dr. Jasser Auda who may
have been in the UK at the time?), Morocco, and Lebanon (to "include
the Arab Shi'a perspective"). Interestingly, it also included three
ratings experts – identified later as unnamed representatives from
Gallup Organization, Pew Research Center, and Dr. Robert Rotberg of
Harvard University. The meeting's deliverables were closing in on the
final product:

"the group further refined the (10) Index [ie, Shariah Index 2.0],
which they organized into four major sections—1)Normative
Declarations, 2) Qualifications ofLeaders, 3) Governance, and 4)
Maqasid al Shariah—with each of these sections broken down into a
number of measurable principles derived from Shariah. "

The group also revisited and refined their (11) strategic plan [2.0]
and committed to (12) three detailed research and writing tasks: 1)
long articles, 2) sourcing and citing principles, 3) proxy questions
for each principle.

November 2007 – July 2008 – Building the Shariah Index Apparatus –
Individual Meetings #5

Over the next eight months, the Cordoba Initiative staff worked with
the 14 Shariah experts – and the 3 "ratings experts" from Gallup, Pew
and Harvard – to write the (13) Preamble to the Project and "further
refine the philosophy, overall structure, and organization of the (14)
Index [ie, Shariah Index 3.0] as well as each of the principles."

August 2008 - Final Publication Plans – Meeting #6

Anne Bayefsky identified the Iranian participant in Shariah Index
Project from this photo from the August 2008 meeting: Iranian Mohammad
Javad Larijani, who has justified torture of Iranian dissidents as
legal punishments under Shariah law. This August 2008 meeting planned
the publication of the Shariah Index Project book – and associated
polls done by Gallup and Pew – for March 2009:

At the most recent meeting in August 2008, the scholars agreed that
the index would be a Maqasid al Shariah Index [the influence of Jasser
Auda who had possibly joined in October 2007], measuring a state's
Islamicity through both its governance and society. Representatives
from the Gallup Organization governance index pioneer, Dr. Robert
Rotberg, joined the discussion by phone on the second day.

Following these conversations with rating and indexing specialists,
the scholars worked to (15) finalize the index, including its
methodology and measurable indicators [ie, Shariah Index 4.0].

The scholars also finalized preparations for the book to be published
concurrently with the Index and findings. After the formal meetings
concluded, Cordoba staff worked one-on-one with a number of the
scholars, soliciting additional information requested by the ratings
experts prior to their formal work on the Index as well about the
Indexing methodology and the book, with significant work with Gallup
and Dr. Rotberg as well as production of the book scheduled for the
upcoming 6 months. The target date for the (16) Index results and book
is March 2009, with the public launch to follow.

November 21, 2008 – The Book Launch Celebration with the Muslim
Brotherhood's IIIT- Meeting #7

The International Institute of Islamist Thought (IIIT), a Muslim
Brotherhood-affiliated organization in Northern Virginia, met to
launch the publication (pdf here) of an abridged edition of Rauf's
"What is Right with Islam is what is Right for America." The meeting
was chaired by IIIT Vice President Jamal Barzinji, and the publisher
of the abridged edition is a group called American Muslims for
Constructive Engagement (AMCE).

Also promoted in that series of "Reader's Digest Condensed Islamism":
Harvard's Noah Feldman's "Fall and Rise of the Islamic State," "1) Who
Speaks for Islam: By John Esposito and Dalia Mogahed. Dalia Mogahed is
head of the Gallup project on Muslim public opinion, the most likely
contact at Gallup for the earlier meetings on the Shariah Index
Project (more on that relationship, and on the AMCE and their U.S.
government backers in Part 2).

The book series, by the way, was funded by the Kingdom Foundation – as
in the Alwaleed Bin Talal Kingdom Foundation of Saudi Arabia.

December 19, 2008 – Final Coordination with the Muslim Brotherhood's
IIIT – Meeting #8

Rauf met with Muslim Brotherhood's IIIT leadership to discuss the
Shariah Index Project (here as pdf). A key figure, Dr. Jasser Auda,
met with Rauf at IIIT Headquarters in Northern Virginia. Auda has the
background and the brains to be coordinating the Shariah Index Project
behind the scenes from Qatar, making Rauf simply a U.S. salesman for
an effort that may actually be directed by others. More on Auda in
Part 2.

Let's Review. All those numbers begin to add up:

The Ground Zero Mosque has at least 6 mystery floors. We suggest that
they'll be used by the Shariah Index Project.

The Shariah Index Project was built by at least 14 Shariah experts. We
have the identities probably of 7 of them, and Rauf should reveal the
other 7 right away.

The Shariah Index Project generated at least 16 documents and maybe a
final book, and Rauf should release all of these – right away.

The issues at stake in the Ground Zero Mosque and the Shariah Index
Project are not about Americans supporting the Constitution's
protection of religious freedom. Americans support that protection.

The issues at stake here are about Americans protecting the
Constitution from Shariah-adherent groups using the protective guise
of religious freedom to attack the Constitution itself – using a
triumphal Ground Zero mosque as "the base" for a project to
institutionalize Shariah in America.
