Feisal Abdul Rauf, born in Kuwait in 1948, boasts of his issue from an Egyptian family steeped in religious scholarship. 1 He presents himself as a Muslim moderate.2 Yet Feisal Rauf's Muslim Brotherhood provenance, radical by definition, is as authentic as it gets.
Evidence of family, and direct Rauf Muslim Brotherhood connections
* Rauf's father Dr. Muhammad Abdul Rauf (1917-2004), was an Egyptian contemporary of Muslim Brotherhood (MB) founder Hassan al-Banna.
* Rauf's father studied and taught at Islam's closest equivalent to the Vatican --- Al-Azhar University --- beside Hassan al-Banna, perpetuating the pious family tradition of radicalism.
* In 1948, Rauf's father fled Egypt, during its first MB crackdown; Feisal was born in Kuwait. 3
* In 1965, Feisal's father left Malaysia for New York City to stealthily buy two thirds of an E. 96th Street block for an Islamic personal trust, revealing its $1.3 million Islamic money from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Libya only after construction of the MB mosque began in 1984. 4
* Likewise, 46 Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) nations funded the $17 million Islamic Cultural Center, only after its 1992 opening did Rauf's father reveal that funding source or admit his long-term plans for discriminatory Muslim-only housing for the Islamic complex. 5
* Rauf's father named Feisal as a permanent trustee of the MB mosque.
* Under Feisal's permanent trusteeship, ICC employed Al-Azhar imam Muhammad Gemeaha. A week after fleeing the U.S. on Sept. 28, 2001 he stated, only the Jews could have perpetrated 9/11; Allah says Jews disseminate corruption in the land, spread heresy, homosexuality, alcoholism, and drugs. Americans would exterminate Jews like Hitler did if they knew.
