NEW YORK – A Muslim scholar recently named as the new senior imam at the Islamic center being built near the World Trade Center site has given up the job, just a few weeks after his appointment.

Shaykh Abdallah Adhami said Friday in a joint statement with the center's developer that he will no longer serve as a religious adviser to the center.

"It is important for me now to devote my time to the completion of my book, which assists English readers in understanding and facilitating the language of the Quran. I wish the project leaders well," Adhami said.

Yes, I am sure white washing all the incriminating portions is going to be a full time job.

It’s “being built” now???

[bronxville]

We’re falling into a trap. Why vet an imam for a mosque that is NOT GOING TO BE BUILT...

[the invisib1e hand]

I guess they’re trying to get to the twelfth imam.

[RightGeek]

Hey, it’s tough finding a non-whacko imam.

Hey, Adhami, translate this:

Qur’an:8:39 “Fight them until all opposition ends and all submit to Allah.”
Qur’an:9:5 “Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.”
Qur’an:9:29 “Fight those who do not believe until they all surrender, paying the protective tax in submission.”
Qur’an:9:123 “Fight the unbelievers around you, and let them find harshness in you.”
Qur’an:47:4 “When you clash with the unbelieving Infidels in battle, smite their necks until you overpower them, killing and wounding many of them…Thus are you commanded by Allah to continue carrying out Jihad against the unbelieving infidels until they submit to Islam.”

I hit it once, honestly.

[bmwcyle]

I guess they are looking for one who has killed more Jews and Christians.

[CdMGuy]

Oh go ahead and hit it again and again. We need to have those Koran quotes imprinted on our brains over and over again until we finally do realize that Islam is out to take away our freedoms.

[lonevoice]

That’s funny!

[gitmogrunt]

Why are these muslim nut jobs called "scholars "by the stupid U.S. Journalists?

[ChiefJayStrongbow]

I guess they’re trying to get to the twelfth imam.
… now that’s funny

[cameraeye]

Where is the peace? Sounds like I'm reading a Stephen King novel.

One can only wonder at the success behind the home-grown effort to convince America that Islam is a ROP.

Here is a reality check on whether the Qu’ran has been “misunderstood”.

Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohammed Badie, October 2010:

“Arab and Muslim regimes are betraying their people by failing to confront the Muslim’s real enemies, not only Israel but also the United States. Waging jihad against both of these infidels is a commandment of Allah that cannot be disregarded.
“All Muslims…need to understand that (what) the (Muslim) nation seeks can only be attained through jihad and sacrifice and by raising a jihadi generation that pursues death just as the enemies pursue life.”

Doed anyone remember that one of the proposed names for the WTC being rebuilt was “Freedom Tower?

See the Azadi Tower (Tehran version)

“Azadi Tower

Azadi in Persian means freedom. Azadi Tower has been an Iranian icon for nearly 40 years, but the recent protests near the monument have brought new meaning to the name “Freedom Tower”.

Azadi Tower, located in Tehran’s Azadi Square, was built in 1971. Formerly known as Shahyad “Remembrance of the Shahs” Tower, the monument was originally intended to commemorate the accomplishments of modern Iran under the Pahlavi dynasty, which reigned until the Iranian Islamic Revolution of 1979.

The tower was the site of countless demonstrations in 1979, and became a symbol of Iran’s renewal following the revolution, thus acquiring its new name, Freedom Tower.

This central square is used both by supporters as well as opponents of the Iranian regime. The site is frequently home to Iranian military demonstrations, and national addresses by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.”
