Local residents discovered through print and televised news reports last week that the imam at the center of the controversy over the proposed Islamic cultural center and mosque near the former World Trade Center site lives in Hudson County and is a property owner here.

Besides being a pathetic landlord, it sounds like the Imam has learned how to game the system, a regular welfare queen:
According to The Record, Rauf met with U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) when he was mayor in Union City, and also requested the help of former Hudson County Executive Robert C. Janiszewski around 1991. After falling on tough financial times, he allegedly made a pitch to them for state funds to renovate three of his properties.
He reportedly received $80,000 in city funds, $384,000 from the Union City’s Community Development Agency, $1.3 million in construction loans from the Hudson County’s affordable-housing trust fund, and $630,900 from the state.
Didn’t he just fly to the Middle East on the taxpayer’s dime as well?
Hopefully as news like this leaks out, this lying, terror supporting leach Rauf and the entire project will be put to bed.
Thought this was a no-no for Muslims.
What a farce.
Somehow I knew this carpet stain would be involved in this.
