“Healing” Imam Rauf of Ground Zero Mega Mosque Latest Outreach: Sues 911 First Responder Who was Trapped in the “Rubble” For “Bigotry”

36

More of radical Imam Rauf's special brand of "healing and outreach." Vincent Forras spoke at our June 6th Rally against the Ground Zero mega mosque here. Forras was one of the first firefighters who answered the call on the day of the bloodiest, most heinous attack ever on American soil by Muslim terrorists. Forras was buried under the rubble for hours.

Imam Rauf's book title, remember, was "A Call to Prayer from the World Trade Center Rubble: Islamic Dawa in the Heart of post 9/11 America." Proselytizing from the rubble of human remains, got that? 

Forras survived to live another day and fight, but Imam Rauf has other plans for this great American hero. The healing outreach program of radical Rauf is suing Forras for, get this, bigotry. How rich, coming from an Islamic supremacist. Rauf is taking a page from his close advisers at the Muslim Brotherhood front, Hamas-linked CAIR. Pure evil.

The "silver lining" (if one could call it that) of the Ground Zero triumphal mosque is that it is unmasking the "moderates." 

Anti-mosque lawsuit slammed as bigotry NY Post

The developers behind the proposed mosque and cultural center near Ground Zero are blasting a $350 million lawsuit filed by a 9/11 first responder as "blind bigotry."

Vincent Forras, a former volunteer firefighter from Westchester, has sued Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf and Park51 — the complex that includes the mosque — charging that they're fronts for "interests tied to terrorism."

Forras says he deserves to be compensated for the "psychological terrorism" and emotional distress he suffered when he learned of the mosque plans.

He calls the development a "monument to the jihadists' victory over American ideals of freedom and democracy, [and] a desecration of the terrible sacrifice made by those innocents attacked."

He also is seeking class-action status for the suit.

In a countersuit, Rauf and Park51 seek to dismiss the filing as a publicity stunt motivated by "blind bigotry."

They are also seeking $50,000 in damages and lawyers' fees.

The attorney representing the developers, Adam Leitman Bailey, is seeking to have Foras' lawsuit dismissed based on the constitutional right to freedom of religion.

To Adam:
You idiot, what part of “religion” involves mandated death threats, slavery, perversion? I’d LOVE to see you defend the calls to kill the infidel as religious freedom to be protected! Rauf and CAIR and MAS and MB are merely doing what the koran prescribes…so GOOD LUCK calling that call to violence a “religion”, it won’t meet ANY definition and what the koran dictates to its followers violates about 275 felony statutes and the Constitution (numerous ways). LOL! Good luck you anti-American bozo! You lose!

Oh, no no no no no. Mr. Forras, you keep your lawsuit firmly in place. Rauf Rauf the dog is counter suing you in hopes of getting you to dismiss your case because knows only too well what will come up under discovery. And that he must stop at all costs or be found out for the fraud he is.

Vincent Forras is being victimized again by “the religion of peace”.
Iman Rauf and his wife are pure evil, lying about their intentions, and the gullible and stupid mainstream media is buying it all, never challenging it. Mainstream media = useful idiots. I can honestly sympathize with many in the media. Perhaps their education was like mine. My education, particularly my Masters in Sociology, was entirely Leftist propaganda, brain-washing, if you will. For so many years, I did not think for myself or question—not until I started my final year of grad school and began working hard on my thesis (homelessness in the US). That is when I discovered that the homeless population was not really comprised of victims of the ruthless capitalist system, but was, in fact, mostly composed of mentally ill people. Trust me, I tried diligently to find evidence that I expected to find, evidence that supported my years of education by professors from the Far Left… it just wasn’t there. That is when I begin to question and finally opened my eyes. Too bad that so many in the media don’t question…

This is a firefighter, my daughter met him, great guy this man she said. Firefighters are a brotherhood with so much determination and heart, no Muslim brotherhood could ever compare. Enough with this Imam Rauf grand standing with his wife Daisy. Americans need to rally behind Mr. Forras and put this Imam in his place. We need to teach Daisy and Rauf what it means to EARN RESPECT. All they are earning is a big black eye every time they open their mouths or make a move in the direction of triumph and conquest over the USA. Not happening, not if good men like Forras still have breath in his lungs! Go Forras!

“The “silver lining” (if one could call it that) of the Ground Zero triumphal mosque is that it is unmasking the “moderates.”-Pamela
The truth will eventually be evident to PC folks. “Gd writes straight with crooked lines.”
Imom Rauf can peddle deception to the Unbelievers (called Taqyiia in Islam) only for so long. Meanwhile, Rauf, as well as the other liars for Gd, dares not speak the truth re Islamic dogma to the “Kuffar.”
(Kuffar means “guilty” in Islam. All Unbelievers are “guilty” in Islam. Otherwise, Islam forbids harming or killing the “innocent.”)
For example: the truth is that, in the Qu’ran, the chronologically earlier “peaceful” suras that the Imom and others peddle to the Dhimmis, Polytheists, atheists etc., have been “abrogated” by its later orders to deceive, dominate, institute Sharia Law, and finally exterminate the Unbelievers.
There is no mandate to the Universal practice of the Golden Rule in Islam.
Why should “abrogation” and the Jew-hating “bigotry” in the Qu’ran be tolerated? Why?
Perhaps a counter suit could ask that Allah reinstate the “peaceful” suras.
Once again re abrogation: Ibn Warraq, page 115,Why I am Not a Muslim: “Now we see how useful and convenient the doctrine of abrogation is in bailing scholars out of difficulties. Of course, it does pose a problem for apologists of Islam, since all the passages preaching tolerance are found in the Meccan, i.e., early suras, and all the passages recommending killing, decapitating, and maiming are Median, i.e., later: “tolerance” has been abrogated by “intolerance.” For example, the famous verse at Sura 9.5, “Slay the idolaters wherever you find them,” is said to have canceled 124 verses that dictate tolerance and patience.”

GELLER, SPENSER AND CHARLES “THE HAMMER” MARTEL
This morning Shlomo Ben Avi left this comment on my blog about my piece on the gutless, cowardly Washington Post editor Ned Martel inspired by Pam Geller’s article on his crazy act of appeasement:
“Apollo, let’s look at this positively. Let’s use Ned Martel’s faintheartedness and appeasement of Islam as an opportunity to study up on Charles “The Hammer” Martel and learn how he stopped the Islamic invaders from conquering Europe by confronting them boldly, directly and mercilessly. Let’s use The Hammer as an example of opposing Islamization at every turn and relentlessly hammering away at our Moslem enemies until they are defeated and America and the West are free from this terrible ungodly menace.”
Shlomo failed to mention that the Moslem invaders Martel defeated and stopped were the armies of the Umayyad Caliphate which was to evolve into the Cordoba Caliphate (Abdul Rauf’s model society for America). Shlomo is right: more Americans need to learn about Charles Martel and his heroic deeds and be inspired by his fearless example. In fact, the Savior of Europe from Islamic imperialism should be made the Patron Saint of the anti-mosque and stop Islamization movement. Study the life of Charles Martel and fill your heart with his intrepid spirit and fight the enemy everywhere you find him.
BTW. Yesterday when I wrote that the New York Times piece on Pam Geller published on October 10 coincided with the anniversary of the Battle of Karbala what I didn’t know was that October 10 was also the 1278th anniversary of the Battle of Tours when Martel defeated Abdul Rahman and his Moslem horde. This is an unmistakable sign that patriotic, pro-Western Americans like Pam Geller and Robert Spenser are the Charles Martels of our time and that we will be victorious!

“This is an unmistakable sign that patriotic, pro-Western Americans like Pam Geller and Robert Spenser are the Charles Martels of our time and that we will be victorious!”-ApolloSpeaks
It could be a “meaningful coincidence.”
Your comparison fits. The weapons of battle are now the facts, the exact truth re Islam’s actual doctrinaires, and the battlefield and counterattack is taking is on the plains of the communications revolution. The terrain (the communications revolution) is not favorable to Imom Rauf etc. The truth is an absolute menace to them on the communications revolution battlefield.
There is no “moderate” Islam (note Warraq’s comment below).
Patience and education are “the hammer” this time and will prevail.
Ibn Warraq, page 11,Why I am Not a Muslim: The term “Islamic fundenentalist” is in itself inappropriate, for there is a vast difference between Christianity and Islam. Most Christians have moved away from the literal interpretation of the Bible; for most of them, “it ain’t necessaraly so.” Thus we can legitmately distinguish between fundamentalist and nonfundamentalist Christians. But Muslims have not moved away from the literal interpretaion of the Koran; all Muslims-not just a group we have called “fundamentalist”-believe that the Koran is literally the word of God.”

We need to, as a nation, take the first step of officially declaring that Islam is not a religion, because it is not. Islam is a brutal, barbaric, aggressive, imperialistic political system with a religious veneer that has the whole world in its crosshairs. Italy has already taken this step:
http://www.faithfreedom.org/features/news/mosques-will-not-receive-federal-money-in-italy/
The big deal about the above-referenced story/link is not that Islam will no longer get a dime from the Italian government (all recognized religions in Italy get tax money from the government), but rather that the Italian government no longer recognizes Islam as a religion. That is a big deal there or anywhere, but especially in the U.S., because religions here get all kinds of privacy and privileges that political organizations do not receive. We need to follow the excellent lead of the Italians, as a start. We also need to slam the door shut on Muslim immigration into our country. Right now, they are less than 1% of our population, and look how aggressive and imperialistic they are. Imagine what our lives would be like if we allow them to gain a real foothold. We must pressure our new Congress to take action on this, the “big elephant standing in the middle of the room that no one is talking about”. Regarding this NYC firefighter and his lawsuit, Godspeed! He has excellent standing and grounds for suit, and, as a previous commenter pointed out, the “discovery” phase of the trial should be juicy indeed (and very, very bad for the Islamists). I hope Firefighter Forras stands his ground, ignores the bullying of the lying Islamists, and goes forward with the suit. God bless him!

MEANINGFUL COINCIDENCE?
We’re on the same page Frank. But there’s more:
Just slightly below to the left of Geller’s picture on the frontpage of Sunday’s NY Times is an article written about Nancy Pelosi titled: Vilified or Not, Pelosi Insists She’s Winning. Actually, Pelosi is not vilified woman on the frontpage who’s winning.
Moreover, and just as fascinating, to the right of Pam’s picture is the lead in to an editorial titled: Lethal Force Under Law, which goes on to say: “The Obama administration needs to show the world that it is complying with international law in its SHADOW WAR AGAINST TERRORISTS.” This is inversely emblematic of the SHADOW WAR of stealth jihad that Pam Geller and all of us are fighting in this country. Another uncanny sign indicative of what this woman is really about. Try as it may the Times can’t entirely distort or suppress the truth on its own front page.

THIS IS VERY INTERESTING, ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNCOVER THE “OTHER” QURAN
IT WAS THEN, AND IS NOW, MERELY AN ARABIC POLITICAL SYSTEM WITH A LIE OF A RELIGION TO COVER IT UP
Yemeni gov’t allowed German experts to study the scripts of this ancient Quran, when the scientists found out it’s nothing like the current Quran, AT ALL, it’s mostly disjointed nonsense and stolen verses from the Bible, they microfiched some 35K pages, did carbon dating, then when Sudan found out they put it in a vault they intend to burn down because it contradicts the Quran being THEE word of Allah, since there’s 2 versions (or are there 2 Allahs)…instead of studying this critical historical (7th century) resource, the muslims will likely torch it, but the copies are already out there and they cannot undo that.

I think we really need a war to straighten this out once and for all. Israel has the bomb power to put these people out of their country. They don’t need the US to help them they have won their battles against socialist Zionists that founded Israel and they are only democratic now. A great lesson in the Middle East. They stopped their socialist left from within and now Is lam is the last frontier to conquer. I think everyone would stand up and take notice this time when they have to drop a bomb on their neighbors. Just so they give us enough time to get out of the way. Everybody will have a good cry that aren’t Holy like thy thought they’ll be just like every body else and world will be rid of terror.

Shea-Porter
It is an election year and Shea-Porter is running as the savior of the US Military Veteran’s cause. The newspapers print opinion after opinion praising this politician. A token one shows a bad point of view letter is printed of a disgruntled veteran’s gripe of Shea-Porter as if only a few existed. US Military Veterans have earned the right to have both sides printed good or bad to express how we feel about any politician whether the newspaper likes us or not. Newspapers (just because they are a private business) should not have the right to sway an election by slamming the public to believe Shea-Porter helps veterans. Shea-Porter only helps those that can help her image. We have no way of knowing how many disgruntled veteran’s opinion are censored. That is wrong to censor not only the letters of the ones she claims to be saving but also the opinion of the ones that protect the citizens of the USA to have a free opinion.
If you like Shea-Porter that is your free privilege and I appreciate you for that. What Shea-Porter did to me is a criminal act if you or I did these things to any one. I had a problem as I volunteered to help a Madbury family. Judge Fauver used judicial powers to enable the Madbury selectmen to steel from local residents. When the case was braught to the NH Supreme Court they covered it up. I am a friend with Shea-Porter’s brother. I was invited to Shea-Porter’s first victory party and I asked for her help. She laughed at me and pushed me away. I wrote a letter and gave her a copy. She contacted the VA using federal powers and attempted to use my combat connected medical to lock me up. When this did not work she filed false complaints with the Dover NH PD to take my freedom. Next my VA medical is stopped completely and there is nothing left.
It is the voters guaranteed right and all veterans need to know how vindictive if you do not say what Shea-Porter wants she can be. If Shea-Porter does not like what my letters contain then she should not do the criminal acts. Should the NH Supreme Court be allowed to diminish the Constitution with Shea-Porter’s help? Do the people have a right to know what Shea-Porter is truthfully?
I came back from the Vietnam Conflict with four life changing permanent disabilities. Three came during separated missions and during combat support. I believe I have earned the right to state my opinion of any elected official at any time and the newspapers should never be allowed to censor my opinion whether they like it or not.
