CON GAMES: Ground Zero Imam And Shariah Law


Those unafraid to be called “Islamophobes” for criticizing the Ground Zero mosque now called Park51 have a new weapon: a translation of Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf by a man who claims to be a former Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) terrorist. If the translation holds up to linguistic scrutiny, then Imam Rauf’s claims for a mosque near Ground Zero will be seen as nothing more than religious sleight-of-hand, a form of Shariah subterfuge.

Walid Shoebat, an actual Islamophobe, claims he has “translated verbatim from the Arabic” the words of the Ground Zero Iman: those who speak both languages can check the original text here. But the words herein are from Shoebat’s translation.

“[W]e we collectively believe,” Imam Rauf said in an interview in 2007, “that the state that was erected by the prophet in Medina was the ideal model for an Islamic state. The challenge today in the Islamic world is how do we accomplish this in our current era.”

Medina, in other words, remains the ideal model for a modern Islamic state. Imam Rauf goes further to posit Shariah law within a democracy.

“So the question in our era,” he says, “throughout my discussions with contemporary Muslim theologians that an Islamic state can be established in more then just in 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 [Islamic] Shariah that are required to govern…. So in our modern era, governments that want to ensure the new laws as to not contradict Shariah rules—so they create institutions to ensure Islamic law and remove any that contradict with Shariah.”

Through “peaceful means,” the Imam also suggests “to the governors and political institutions to consult [Muslim] religious institutions and [Muslim] personalities in the field as to assure their decision making to reflect the spirit of Shariah.”

Another translation of Imam Rauf by Shoebat, taken from a Jordanian newspaper in May 2009, puts Park51 into question as a place of true religious and community dialogue.

“Religious dialogue as customary understood is a set of events with discussions in large hotels that result in nothing,” Imam Rauf writes in the Shoebat translation. “Religions do not dialogue and dialogue is not present in the attitudes of the followers regardless of being Muslim or Christian. The image of Muslims in the West is complex which needs to be remedied.”

Those who see the Park51 mosque formerly known as “Cordoba” now have evidence that the acclaimed moderate Imam Rauf wants to see Shariah law take hold in the United States—a different posture for the cleric who speaks in the mother tongue to another purpose under heaven.

    You’re starting to sound like infowars.

    We all know 911 was an inside job, we now just need the military to carry out the arrests.

    Co-chairs of the 9/11 Commission Keane and Hamilton “The CIA and the White House obstructed our investigation The 9/11 Commissioners knew that military officials misrepresented the facts to the Commission, and the Commission considered recommending criminal charges for such false statements, yet didn’t bother to tell the American people.”

    Hamilton “the Commission was set up to fail, the people should keep asking questions about 9/11, the 9/11 debate should continue.”

    9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerry “There are ample reasons to suspect that there may be some alternative to what we outlined in our version.”

    9/11 Commissioner Roemer “We were extremely frustrated with the false statements we were getting.”

    Max Cleland resigned from the Commission, stating: “It is a national scandal”; “This investigation is now compromised”

    John Farmer led the 9/11 staff’s inquiry “I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was described.

    U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy “The two questions that the congress will not ask . . . is why did 9/11 happen on George Bush’s watch when he had clear warnings that it was going to happen? Why did they allow it to happen?”

    Republican Congressman Ron Paul calls for a new 9/11 investigation and states:”We see the 9/11 investigations that have been done so far as more or less cover-up and no real explanation of what went on”

    Democratic Congressman Dennis Kucinich “We aren’t being told the truth about 9/11.”

    Democratic Senator Mike Gravel “I support a new 9/11 investigation, we don’t know the truth about 9/11.”

    Republican Senator Lincoln Chaffee “A new 9/11 investigation is needed.”

    U.S. Democratic Congressman Dan Hamburg “The U.S. government assisted in the 9/11 attacks, I think there was a lot of help from the inside.”

    US Republican Congressman Curt Weldon “I am open to the possibility that 9/11 was an inside job.”

    I could go on and on

    If it’s an inside job, wouldn’t the military be in on it? Why in the world would they carry out the arrests?

    Crazy people write crazy stuff…..

    A lotta, lotta, lotta people don’t know 9/11 was a inside job and that is the problem.

    Look and learn…beyond the baby food the masses have been spoon fed. That is the challenge, not throwing more dirt in the water.

    These are the people who lost their partners and had the guts to do something about it and their reality. See for yourselves how they were treated and not what you have heard of how they were treated by the Foxes in the henhouse.

    These are people who took the time and used their energy to see that the OFFICIAL story does not add up and I don’t mean the people in charge were stupid, I mean, we were played for fools.

    Look and learn here for more knowledge. Use your mind to see what does and doesn’t make sense as you see for yourselves what you thought you knew may not be all there is to this and many other stories.

    You know its broke. Now you can see why.

    9/11 was a wake up call, and….still is!!

    Where is my post?

  8. Star Eagle says:

    Now it works! What about yesterday????

  9. So, Star Man, what you’re saying is because a “lotta, lotta” people believe 9/11 was some kind of ill-defined “inside job” then that lends credibility to your crazy theory?

    By that measue, because more people than a “lotta, lotta” believe Osama bin-Laden masterminded the attack, then they must be right.

    Do you really want to convince anyone? Then you’ve got to do better than this.

    Best, Con Man!

  10. FYI sometimes your posts go to “moderation” where they have to be approved, which they invariably are, by our Editors.

    Best, Michael!

    Good feed info!

    Here is one for your kindle or your computer Micheal.

    http://books.google.com/books?id=Awgp3H5mBXgC&dq=paul+thompson+timeline&printsec=frontcover&source=bn&hl=en&ei=VTqQTOisMIiksQOS892xDg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CCAQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q&f=false

    Its not my fault a whole lotta, lotta people don’t know Michael, but it is my problem. I can only try and fix the problem (see links above), but I can’t make you see that my definition of “ill defined” is your definition of what? Crystal clear?

    Micheal, how much have you looked into 9/11 past Padre Pete telling someone you really, really know well that he saw the plane fly into the Pentagon and that is that.

    These links above are pretty meaty Micheal. But you gotta take the time to chew on them. Quit pouring gravey on the taters and get to the meat.
