Check out the Ground Zero Mega Mosque Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf’s oped piece at the subversive Huffington Post (Puff Ho) in support of the brutal crackdown and slaughter of the people of Iran, who marched for democracy in Iran last summer. Read this. He basically argues that the Islamic Republic of Iran shares much with the USA. And he says that negotiations must begin… Here he says that Islam and America are founded in the same principles. If this is not “Islamizing America” (from Ground Zero soon), than what is?

Sharing the core of our beliefs by Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf (March 2009)

New York, New York – As he travels to Turkey on 7 April, US President Barack Obama takes the next step to fulfil his pledge to address the Muslim world. Some critics have warned him: don’t do it. I believe they are wrong. This is just the right thing to do, and Obama is the one to do it.

The president will speak at the UN Alliance of Civilization’s [arm of the supremacist OIC- Atlas] forum in Istanbul as a way to talk directly with Muslims about finding common ground for peace.

In the Muslim world, when someone has a grievance and says, “There ought to be a law!” they know that there is one. All the law that a Muslim needs is in the Qur’an and the Hadith, sayings of the Prophet Muhammad.

Just after 9/11, people would ask me, why do so many movements with political agendas take a religious name? Why are they called the Muslim Brotherhood, or Hizbullah, which means Party of God, or Hamas, which is an acronym for the Islamic Resistance Movement? I tell them that the Muslim approach to law and justice begins with religious language because secular movements have failed to deliver what Muslims want – life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

If that sounds suspiciously like the Declaration of Independence, that’s because – contrary to what many people in the West believe – Islamic law and American democratic principles have many things in common.

Thomas Jefferson wrote that the Creator endowed man with these unalienable rights. The framers of the constitution wrote that they were establishing justice, ensuring domestic tranquillity, promoting general welfare and securing the blessings of liberty.

In the same way, Islamic law believes that God has ordained political justice, economic justice and help for the weak and impoverished. These are very Islamic concepts. Many Muslims believe that what Americans receive from their government is in fact the very substance of what an Islamic state should provide.

[...]
For an American president to use the language of Islam to show the commonality with American and Judeo-Christian values amplifies his message 100 times among Muslims.

Osama bin Laden gets his power from arguing that the United States is trying to impose Western values on the Muslim world that will destroy Islam. Too often, the American government has played into his hands.

 

What President Obama Should Say About Iran ‘s Election Imam Feisal Abdul RaufChairman, Cordoba Initiative, Hugginton Post

President Obama has rightly said that his administration will not interfere with the internal affairs of Iran, unlike what happened in 1953. Now he has an opportunity to have a greater positive impact on Iranian-American relations.
