[ April 24, 2024 ]
One might think that Imam Feisal was merely showing off to the Arab media: the braggadocio of a conceited megalomaniacal man with delusions of grandeur — so grand, in fact, that he intends to build of mega mosque on the thousands of graves of innocent Americans slaughtered in the largest Islamic attack (or any attack for that matter) on American soil.
But it is not braggadocio. In audio tapes I am currently reviewing, Imam Rauf's power reach is at the highest levels imaginable. He is a grand jihadist, a master classman, operating at the apex of power. The "blueprint" Imam Rauf refers to, is essentially the US MUSLIM ENGAGEMENT — Changing the Course", This is a large-scale effort by the US government to open areas of cooperation (dhimmitude) with the Islamic world in the political, cultural and economic spheres.
Bat Ye'or said of Obama's speech at the time:
Story continues below advertisement
Obama’s Cairo discourse fits perfectly into his agenda. It flatters Muslim sensibilities and expresses the Muslim view of historical tolerance and cultural superiority over infidel civilizations. When Obama mentioned the “Isra” event, he referred to Muhammad’s ascension to heaven and his return in one night on a winged mule named Buraq. There he greets two Muslim prophets, Moses and Jesus/Isa, who are not the biblical figures. The image used here by the American president as a symbolic interfaith reconciliation between the three faiths is a meeting between three Muslim prophets and not the figureheads of the three monotheistic religions. Besides, the Isra event is not recognised by non-Muslims, and it didn’t happen in Jerusalem, as this name does not appear once in the Koran.
The president’s speech is similar to many such declarations by European leaders. The question it raises is how much the West is ready to forgo truth and its basic principles in its supplication for obtaining peace with Islam. Clearly, the full Islamization of the West is the quickest way to obtain it. Obama’s political program in connection with the Alliance of Civilizations conforms to an OIC strategy that has already been accepted by the EU. In history, this policy has a name: the dhimmitude syndrome.
— Bat Ye’or’s latest book was published in Italy: Verso il Califfato Universale, Come l’Europa è diventata complice dell’espansionismo musulmano, Lindau, Torino: (Toward the Universal Caliphate: How Europe Became an Accomplice of Muslim Expansionism.)
WEBTODAY EXCLUSIVE (August 24, 2010)– QUESTION: Who really was speaking on that historic day of June 4th 2009 in Cairo, Egypt? President Obama or the Imam of the proposed Ground Zero Mosque, Feisal Abdul Rauf?
ANSWER: Feisal Abdul Rauf! Link to audio of Rauf's admission
The Shoebat Foundation obtained this shocking audio recording of Rauf's own voice boasting in Arabic that Obama’s historic Cairo speech was provided by the Imam and the Cordova Initiative in what the Imam called “The Blue Print” which he said was the solution to the Islamic-American divide. Rauf claimed Chapter 6 of the Imam’s work engineered by the Cordova Initiative was the construct for the entire speech:
“This is an example of the impact of our work in a positive way to be used by the President.”
"The blue print," Rauf elaborated, included everything from U.S. policy to Jewish and Christian relations with Muslims.
For an Imam in New York to be involved in the orchestrating U.S. foreign policy is quite the claim. In the recording dated February 5th, 2010 Rauf boasted that:
“We have to look at it [as] how to engineer solutions. At the Cordova Initiative we think of ourselves as an engineering shop. Yes. We have an analytical approach. Our work has been that. IN THE BOOK CHAPTER 6, I WROTE ABOUT THIS BLUE PRINT as to WHAT HAS TO BE DONE BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT, what has to be done by the Jewish community, what has to be done by the Christian community, what has to be done by the Muslim community, what has to be done by educators, what has to be done by the media. For example, IN MY BOOK IN THE ARABIC VERSION page 293, what did I write? WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT THE UNITED STATES NEEDS TO DO. IF YOU EXAMINE THIS CHAPTER YOU WILL FIND THAT THE OBAMA SPEECH IN CAIRO WAS ALL TAKEN FROM THIS SECTION [Section 6]. When you do a job that is very complicated. You ask yourself, what have you accomplished. All these problems can be solved but requires the will to solve it. It requires political will, resources and the right focus. The signs of how to go to the moon was known 200 years ago, but the political will and financial will for it happened during 1960-1961. When John Kennedy said that we will send an American to the moon before the end of the 60’s, he established the financial resources and the political will.”
The story was even collaborated in a written article in an interview with Hani Al-Waziri of Egypt. The clue was revealed while Rauf was answering a question regarding President Barack Obama’s speech in which Rauf replied:
“The speech was wonderful and wise in his choice of words, the Prime Minister of Malaysia after the speech disclosed to me that it is now easy for any president of a Muslim country to establish good relations with America, and I AM NOT GOING TO HIDE FROM YOU THAT ONE OF THOSE WHO PARTICIPATED IN WRITING THE SPEECH, TRANSFERRED ENTIRE PARTS OF MY BOOK ‘A NEW VISION FOR MUSLIMS AND THE WEST’, which he referred to U.S. interests being compatible with top interests of the Muslim world”.
Rauf did not disclose the name of this speechwriter that included Rauf’s work in president Obama’s historic address to the Muslim world. It is crucial to note that the Arabic version of Feisal Abdul Rauf’s book was published in Malaysia titled “A CALL TO PRAYER, FROM THE WORLD TRADE CENTER RUBBLE: ISLAMIC DAWA (SUMMONS TO ISLAM) IN THE HEART OF AMERICA POST-9/11."
The interview with Hani Alwaziri dated February 7th, 2010 intended to discuss Rauf’s plans for what he terms “American Style Islam” and the Cordova Initiative goals for the U.S. Rauf later stated that his goal was “To establish an American style Islam in the United States” in which he explains his aspiration of spreading Islam in America by using flexibility and molding Islam to become palatable to the American culture while preserving the integrity of Islamic ideology:
“If we look how Islam was spread from Hijaz (Arabia) to Morocco then Turkey, we note that Islam was shaped by the culture and society, hence showing a Muslim version of the architecture and culture and the arts, but with preservation of the framework of belief and worship. We need to provide a GLOBAL ISLAM in accordance with the nature of each society.”
Rauf boasted about his towering structure by Ground Zero as:
“an icon that will make Muslims proud, not only locally but globally.”
His suggestion to Muslims on how to deal with western Christians and Jews was:
“deal with them as one courts a pretty girl he wants to date; stop thinking like a typical Muslim. Then you can engage.”
He also discussed how he courted Bloomberg and the Jewish Community boards that “we have inroads with the Jewish Community Center”. It is interesting that Rauf stated in Arabic to Hadielislam, another prominent Muslim think tank that:
“people need to use peaceful means to advise the governors and government institutions…we also suggest to the governors and political institutions to CONSULT [MUSLIM] RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS AND [MUSLIM] PERSONALITIES IN THE FIELD SO AS TO ASSURE THEIR DECISION MAKING TO REFLECT THE SPIRIT OF SHARIAH.”
In previous reports researched by the Walid Shoebat Foundation, it was revealed that Imam Rauf has made statements in the Arabic language – while appearing on Arabic media outlets – that completely contradict his moderate tone when speaking English, exposing him as a direct supporter of terrorism, both financially and verbally.

Rauf sounds like a first-class liar if he is saying that he wrong Obama’s Cairo speech. There is chutzpah, and then there is chutzpah.

Totally belive this. Obama and his “collective salvation” are just evil and it’s clear that he and his crew are out to destory this nation. I don’t know if people will ever wake up but I pray they do when these elections come around b/c tossing this sick ideology out is the last hope for us all and probably for Western civilization. When they are asking kids “put-down” questions about all religions other than Islam (and falsely rewriting history to bolster Islam) why is it not probable that this scary, dubious Imam is writing speeches for horrible POTUS Obama? Makes perfect sense.

In these tapes Rauf is explaining how they are PRESENTLY engineering an infiltration of American government. Rauf is essentially bragging that he has written the “Blue Print” and executing it as planned, and is instructing others on how to follow the plan. He sees himself as the leader of this grand design, and is admitting that we have a willing President at the helm.
Thank God Pamela is doing the hard work the mainstream media won’t. We are getting closer and closer to the REAL meaning behind this mosque and all the other so-called “work” Rauf does in our government and for the President. It’s all part of the larger Blue Print, don’t ya know. The question now is, why is the 0bama administration hiding Rauf by having him conveniently be out of the country during this firestorm? HE NEEDS TO ANSWER QUESTIONS instead of hiding behind his wife’s skirt! And then the 0BAMA administration needs to answer some questions. Does 0bama realize he is being used as part of a “Blue Print”??

The Huffington Post is a joke. They are the most uninformed members of the community. Even if I were to disagree with their positions, their lack of information (or purposeful delete of information)is astonishing. There is no hope for that crowd. I must say, I am finding it so humorous to watch the left step all over themselves in favor of religious freedom all of a sudden. They would not know religious freedom if it walked up and bit them on the ass. That group cannot even get the argument straight.

Is it possible for us to now shift the emphasis of the protest against CordobaHouse/Park51 from the insensitivity of the mosque’s placement 600 feet from GZ to the need to expose Rauf, Khan, Gamal and their associates as enemy agents acting to establish a command center in the heart of lower Manhattan? It’s not like this is even speculation any more. Pam has posted the proof. We have the evidence in Rauf’s own words. He advocates a totalitarian form of government to replace our constitutional republic. Our president’s speechwriters have contaminated his words with Rauf’s Islamist propaganda. We have the proof that what is needed in dealing with these people is not negotiation but deportation ASAP before they can do any more damage.
The likelihood of that is, of course, about as high as it is for impeaching that dhimmi stooge in the White House.
But people are finally starting to listen, and they need to hear all the truth before November. Rauf’s “blueprint” is there for them to see, but they can’t get it from the MSM. Even most of the talk radio hosts in my area are presenting this information days after we see it on Atlas and JihadWatch and elsewhere on the net. There is nothing out there to equal the sort of coverage Pam, Robert and others are doing and it must reach as many Americans as possible.

Reading it, that seems like coincidence. Any country with a dictator would do that—regardless of religion. In this case, it was an rebellion. And that was was not started by the Ottoman Empire, but by Serbia looking to secede from the Ottoman Empire, by that point crumbling.
That battle would go on (two actually) for another 8 years, and had been going on for five years to that point. If it were a peacetime action, it might have been relevant.

That has nothing to do with Islam, however…absolutely nothing.

Yes, charm and gull them, rather than bullying them as a “typical Muslim” would. Seduction rather than rape — but the object of the exercise still ends up getting f**ked.

pamela:
a very important post.
rauf has mentioned madeline albright before. it is entirely logical that rauf had tremendous influence in the fabrication of “changing course:….”, the 2007/2008 pamphlet that defined obama’s mid-east policy. this pamphlet, of course, published by the soros front “the u.s. — muslim engagement comittee” headed by albright.
this post should stay at the top of the page a couple days, to garner the readership it deserves. it is a marvelous post. any chance of anyone asking the white house who penned the obama speach, and then seeing if the rauf/speech writer connection can be exactly established?

The person(s) most likely to have inserted Rauf’s ‘blueprint’ into Obama’s Cairo speech would be Ingrid Mattison and/or Dalia Mogahed, both Muslims, both ‘Muslim Advisers’ to BHO and I believe Mogahed was recorded on a Muslim-operated TV station in Britain praising Sharia Law and saying how beneficial it was to Muslim women. Mogahed works with John Esposito on those dubious ‘polls’ of the Muslim ‘world’ and either Mattison or Mogahed helped to draft the 2008 ‘US – Muslim Engagement’ document, whose recommendations to the future POTUS BHO has faithfully carried out so far (apologies to the Muslim ‘world’ for US ‘sins’; exchange programs of professionals; plenty of Jizya paid over to Muslim countries). I wouldn’t call BHO a dhimmi, just a faithful abdullah (‘slave of allah’).

The historical context of the time doesn’t seem to agree with you. Islam here is pure coincidence.
13 years ago
Muslim apologists like you revise history as easily as you practice taqqiya.
There is nothing coincidental or incidental about Islam, it is always central not just as a part of a muslim’s daily life, but in his/her interaction with non-muslims.
This is especially relevant whenever conflicts and battles arise between muslims and non-muslims.
The Islamic Ottoman Empire was crushing an infidel Serbian uprising that is the proper context of this historical incident and none of your lies or spin will change that.

While Rauf probably does support terrorism and most assuredly has a world view contrary to my own, I am convinced that Islam need not fire another single round to irrevocably change the face of America forever. I believe this just as I believe it is possible for Ahmadinejad to “wipe” Israel off the face of the map with nary a rocket blast.
We in the west are so damned scared of what Islam will do (based on what they have already done) we will willingly bend to any demand just so long as they put their guns down. How silly of us! I’m beginning to think it all a brilliant ruse, but perhaps that’s giving them too much credit.

He is the non violent Islamic supremacist. They exist and there is more of them than the terrorists who use violent means.
Their goal is the same. Islamic domination and Sharia for all of us.
The problem is that he is tying himself to a violent act (911) by finishing the job Bin Laden started. That is to humiliate NYC and America by building a mosque @ GZ

Everyone keeps asking where Rauf is getting the money. The money according to Fox News is coming from the Kingdom Foundation. But what Fox never would say is who runs the kingdom foundation. Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal, who is the biggest share holder in Fox News (News Corp) outside of Rupert Murdoch. Ohhh and one other thing. There’s already a mosque two blocks away from the proposed location of the new mosque. Where did i hear this? On Fox News.

Saddam Hussein was an enemy of the Saudi nation, Saddam was unrelated to 9/11 and wasn’t capable or willing to attack the United States. The 9/11 attackers were Saudis. Osama is a Saudi noble. The jihad in Afghanistan against the Russians was financed by Saudi money. Saudis also are responsible to the renaissance of strict Islamic thought by Saudi funding of radical islam culture centers all across the arab world. Oh, and the holy center of the muslim world, it is mekka and medina, which nation, Saudi Arabia. Not to mention that Saudi Arabia is no democracy, not even close. American blood for the Saudi Arab sheiks. The Saudis are smart, they even tricked the muslims into worshipping a stone, that is why islam is a pagan religion, a religion of war, hat and suppression. Fox won’t tell you the real story.

Orwell famously said that “the great enemy of clear language is insincerity.” To the blogger and most posters: You may be sincere in what you believe, but your written communication here of that belief is terribly difficult to follow, and the design of the website is cluttered, cluttering the messages it is attempting to transmit. It seems that “literacy” hear means reading everything already having already made up your mind politically, so that no matter how fuzzy or confusing the language and layout are you arrive at the end of a post feeling that you have had your preconcieved ideas confirmed. If you want more people to take you seriously, “connect the dots” (as one commenter put it) and say what it is you really are trying to argue, in this post and in these comments, simply, in clear writing that any American can immediately grasp. I see no dots connected here, just a string of innuendo.
And, c’mon, with language like this — “the braggadocio of a conceited megalomaniacal man with delusions of grandeur” — isn’t it more than likely that the author is also describing herself?

We all know from Obama’s generally abysmal overall performance as our (pseudo-)president that he is functionally illiterate and that someone had to write his speeches for him. It is also quite clear that Obama’s speech in Cairo could NEVER have been written by anyone who remotely held Christian values (and was almost certainly written by a practicing Muslim).
It is therefore not out of the question that it was Rauf who wrote Obama’s Cairo speech. It is also not entirely improbable that Obama supports Rauf’s Ground Zero mosque/Islamic Center as payment for writing that Cairo speech attributed to Obama.

Obama, why do you send Rauf, a militant, to the Arab world as an emissary? I was always a supporter of the Democratic Party until Obama became president and now he has alienated me. For the first time in my 61 years I find myself questioning the loyalty of the President to the nation. Is he a subversive in our midst?
