An odd envoy
NY Post ^ | August 10, 2010 | Editorial

It's not sufficiently divisive, apparently, that a controversial imam wants to erect a mosque near Ground Zero; now the Obama folks have him conducting "outreach" to Arab countries on behalf of the United States -- and on the taxpayers' dime, no less.

Can anything be more ill-considered?

As Claudia Rosett first reported at

Forbes.com, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is headed to the Arab world for a month-long "outreach" tour, courtesy of the State Department. His wife, Daisy Khan, is to make a similar trip.

Just what they'll be doing -- their scheduled stops include Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Bahrain and Qatar -- remains a bit of a mystery.

A State Department aide yesterday told The Post that Rauf's mission is "to foster a greater understanding about the region around the world among Muslim majority communities."

Whatever that means.

So he’s Duh Won’s Islam Czar, yet he doesn’t think Hamas is a terrorist group? Talk about the square peg in the square hole. When will he become Deputy President?

That combined with Kerry’s initiative to get more young Muslims (people from “Muslim majority countries including Kosovo”) into the US as teachers and doctors and send our young teachers and doctors to those same Muslim pits should really do the trick. Sharia here we come!

I assure you that "Dhemmi's" in those communities have a thorough understanding of what it means.

Zero is a Muslim and has been a Trojan Horse from the beginning. It amazes me that he still has non-muslim supporters.

Great way to conceal funds for Hamas and Hizbollah...

in diplomatic pouches provided by Clinton and Obama. The question,"who's side are they on?" is now more rhetorical than ever.

I have every confidence that Obama is a closet Muslim and is doing his best to destroy our country from within. He needs to be impeached and tried for treason.
