It is time for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to step up to the plate and investigate Imam Feisel Abdul Rauf, who is currently touring the Middle East at the expense of American Taxpayers as an envoy of her Department of State. Claudia Rossett, one of America's premier journalists, today reveals several disturbing facts that more than warrant an official investigation:
...what's going on with the web site of his Cordoba Initiative? Last week, after someone in his Malaysia office referred all questions back to his office in New York, the phone number and address of his office in Malaysia quietly vanished from the Cordoba web site. Roughly around the same time, as Anne Bayefsky noticed and explained in a Pajamas Media post this week, Rauf's Cordoba Initiative web site also erased a photo showing Rauf meeting in Malaysia a while back with an Iranian official, Mohammad Javad Larijani - who, as Bayefsky explained, "was the Iranian official who defended Iran's abysmal human rights record before the UN Human Rights Council in February and June of this year."
Friday evening, after Obama gave his de facto endorsement to Rauf's Cordoba/Park 51 Ground Zero mosque and Islamic center project, I took another look at the morphing Cordoba Initiative web site, and discovered it now has a note on the main page saying "Website is currently under construction." (Grab your screenshots now - parts of this site are already sliding down the Memory Hole).
What's going on? Why the vanishings of the Malaysian address, the Rauf-Larijani Iranian connection photo, and the elusive Imam Feisal himself? Have either Obama or Bloomberg made even the smallest effort to inquire about what use will be made, or by whom, of these de facto endorsements they are handing out?
Secretary Clinton, as the person ultimately responsible for funding Rauf's visit to the Middle East (which cannot help but affect his fundraising efforts for the mosque) has a duty to the American people to get to the bottom of Rauf's refusal to condemn Hamas, his rhetoric in Arabic that contrasts with his English language rhetoric, and his association with anti-US groups.
Silence on the subject equals Mrs. Clinton's support for the Imam, who is enjoying a taxpayer funded trip (I wonder, by the way, if he is flying coach?). The Ground Zero Mosque is the most divisive issue in America today. If the Secretary of State is convinced she can dodge responsibility for funding him, she is sadly mistaken.

The United States government is in bed with terrorists, funding their activities with our money, and the president of the United States is a muslim.
Would the State Dept. pay for Franklin Graham to travel around the world promoting building a church at ground zero? Why is there no outcry from the ACLU? I am furious at this whole situation and hope if the mosque is ever built, it doesn’t last long.
Most people do not recognize that what happens in a mosque is sedition. Pure and simple. Islam is not just a religion, it is a cult, it is its own government, its judicial...is in its sharia, and its military (jihadis) all rolled into one with one intent ...and that is to rule wherever they take root. It is a invasive, systemic infection looking to take over the host once it has quantum.
This is not just a religion, but something that cloaks itself in those terms so it should not be given the same treatment contemplated under the first amendment. Its rules are to consume whatever government is wherever it goes. To supplant and replace.
The sooner America learns this , the better.
Obama? Obama and Company? Should be tried for treason in this issue for promoting the establishment of a foreign government on our soils.
Ha, ha, ho, ho, he, he ha ha. Oh that is so funny. You want hillary to stop being obama's monica and investigate her masters appointtee? Oh that is funny.
Maybe the headline should read "hillary get off your knees and investigate Feisel Abdul Rauf, please, pretty please, pretty please with bird seed on it"
The United States government is in bed with terrorists, funding their activities with our money, and the president of the United States is a muslim.
Yeah, and he is a down low gay too.
Just a thought on this matter, as we rightly label Obama’s healthcare plan Obamacare, this should henceforth be named the Obama Ground Zero Mosque. It is in effect his mosque now and we should make sure to have that tie in whenever we speak of it. The Obama Mosque :) should make some leftist heads explode.
Claudia Rossett is great. She exposed the UN and the oil for blood scandal. Hillary better watch out because Claudia can’t be bought off or silenced.
I agree with you, and we better get this view of Islam out to as many people as we can.
It is time to quit calling it a religion, and wake up our congresscritters that we do not buy the kool-aid they are pushing.
What have we come to, and how is this going to end...

Everyone needs to know this.
Never count of the aclu to stick up for American. The original by-laws of this organization plainly stated the aclu was set up to destroy the American Idea. AND hillary and billy boy were members of the aclu and not members of the American Bar Assoc until he became president. So don’t count on the aclu, clintons, the muslim in the whitehouse and members of the democrat party to protect America or her citizens.
What does the Messiah’s new-found love for the constitution tell him regarding US government funds being used to directly aid a religious project?
In this World there is good, and there is evil. Anything one might believe is in between is facing evil, if not evil as well.
Islam IS evil.
JMHO
The Ruling Class is so out of touch, they have no idea how radioactive this issue is. Unfortunately, Steele is a card carrying member of the Rulers.
