Imam Rauf of the 9/11 Ground Zero Islamic Colonial Center is beloved by Progressives and Elite Republicans. He is praised as a Moderate and is even paid by our Pro-Islamic State Department to travel overseas. Well the game is up with this Imperialist fraud and recording have come out where his true colors have come out. Mayor Bloomberg is one of his biggest supporters. In fact NYC Comptroller John Liu has said that the Islamic Center might even qualify for public funds. I wonder what Bloomberg who claims to be a supporter of Israel has to say on Imam Rauf’s views on Israel?
Meanwhile, records show Rauf has called for a “one state” solution to the Israeli-Palestinian problem — an outcome some say could lead to Israel’s disappearance.
The view, expressed in a 2005 speech in Australia, is contrary to the US government’s long-standing “two state” solution of Israel and Palestine living “side by side in peace and security.”
Hamas is a shibboleth. If you want to know whether an ostensible Muslim “moderate” is really moderate, ask him if Hamas is a terrorist organization.
It is really not a hard question, even if Feisal Rauf can’t — or won’t — answer it. Rauf, the would-be imam of the controversial Ground Zero mosque, is also a stud in the State Department’s stable of ready-to-travel-on-your-dime “moderates.” That same State Department has branded Hamas a terrorist organization, and we can’t even get it to say that about the Taliban, the guys we’re fighting in the overseas contingency operation formerly known as the War on Terror.
During a WABC radio interview, Aaron Klein three times pressed Rauf to admit that Hamas is a terrorist organization. Rauf bobbed and weaved in classic Islamist style. “I’m not a politician,” he replied, as if only politicians trouble themselves over whether terrorists are terrorists. “I try to avoid the issues. The issue of terrorism is a very complex question.” Avoid the issues? You don’t say!
