Mosque lady builds bridges by calling 70% of U.S. bigots
dailycaller. ^ | 08/23/10 | Jim Treacher

Posted on 08/22/2010 10:57:30 PM PDT by American Dream 246

Daisy Khan is one of the brainiacs behind the Ground Zero Mosque the Burlington Landing-Gear Receptacle That Place in Lower Manhattan Everybody Is Talking About. She also has perhaps the most confusingly evocative name ever. This morning, she appeared on This Week with Christiane Amanpour.

Displaying the cool impartiality and journalistic rigor that are making viewers everywhere call for the return of Jake Tapper, Amanpour asked Khan if America is Islamophobic:

“This is like a metastasized anti-Semitism, that’s what we feel right now,” Khan said. “It’s not even Islamophobia, it’s beyond Islamophobia; it’s hate of Muslims. And we are deeply concerned.”

Second most wrathful Khan ever? Good job staying on message, Daisy. “We can’t create a dialog and exchange ideas and nurture mutual respect until you bigots shut up!!” I don’t particularly like Harry Reid and Howard Dean, but I’d stop well short of calling them Muslim-haters.

One reason liberals and, um, “moderate” Muslims like Daisy Khan make such wonderful bedfellows is their unfailing instinct for declaring themselves victims. 9/11 families? What 9/11 families? The real victims here are people like Daisy. How dare you question her judgment? How dare you criticize her plans? Isn’t this America??

Yeah, why don’t we build a monument to Japanese bomber pilots who were killed attacking us at Pearl Harbor, or a memorial for German solders who died on D-Day, or Korean Commies who were killed by US Army, or Mexicans killed at the Alamo?

Just asking, I mean let’s be inclusive here!

Daisy Khan, an interior designer by profession

In July 2007, Ms. Khan appeared on the cover of Newsweek magazine along with 40 members of ASMA. In the same issue of the magazine, she also co-wrote an article on the symmetry between core Islamic values and the constitution of the United States.

Khan: "No one should be asked to leave their neighborhood. This is our neighborhood and we’ve been part of it for 27 years. Our opponents are not from this neighborhood…We were shut down for four weeks after 9/11. The sad part was that we felt victimized like everyone else in New York because it was our city that was attacked but we were never given permission to mourn."

Asked if America was "Islamophobic," Khan responded that it's like "metastasized anti-Semitism."

Born in Kashmir, Khan spent twenty-five years as an interior architect for various Fortune 500 companies. In 2005, she dedicated herself to full-time community service and building movements for positive change, both in the United States and around the globe.

Daisy Khan is a New York businesswoman who immigrated to America from Kashmir, in the foothills of the Himalayas, when she was 15 years old. After a period of soul searching as a young woman, during which she went through what she describes as “some very, very dark stages in my life,” she ultimately embraced Islam, the religion into which she had been born.

Khan is inspired by the story in which the Persian poet Rumi says, “I looked for God. I went to a temple, and I didn’t find him there. Then I went to a church, and I didn’t find him there. And then I went to a mosque, and I didn’t find him there. And then finally I looked in my heart, and there he was.”

Khan also draws strength from the story of Muhammad’s first wife Khadija, who succeeded as a businesswoman even in male-dominated Arabian society. She counsels other young women in New York who are trying to balance the practice of Islam with the stresses of a contemporary career.

Daisy Introduces Katie Couric at Peace is Possible by Face To Face in New York City

NYC-November 5, 2007

I am here to introduce a person who needs no introduction but since I have been bestowed with this formality let me begin by introducing myself, I'm Daisy Khan, founder of the American Society for Muslim Advancement. As a Muslim women leader who is working to build bridges between American Muslims and the American public, I have not been part of Face to Face program from its inception. Zoya Rukh, a Face to Face participant who is in the audience today is a high school student who is also an intern at my organization. Zoya says that her life has been transformed by the experience of Face to face. It has made her realize how important interfaith dialogue is in this day and age. Hearing the Face to Face young leaders speak gives me great hope and tonight I believe that our future is in good hands.

There is nobody who understands the need for their work more than Katie Couric. She has seen the devastation of warfare up close while recently reporting the nightly news from the ground in Iraq. For over 20 years Katie has been an authentic voice, our trusted guide and companion in bringing to light the complexities of our world at home and abroad. I personally witnessed this when moments after 9/11 Katie invited my husband imam Feisal Abdul Rauf to discuss this tragic event and how it would change the world we live in today.

But tonight, we are here to celebrate our young leaders, with their commitment to world peace, nightly headlines will begin to change. I don’t know anybody else who can report those headlines as well as our distinguished guest present in this room. I don’t know Katie personally, so I asked her friends at the table if they could tell me a bit about her. Katie, they said, is committed to peace and re-conciliation, as member of the Brick church she is very assuming, she is a caring mother, downright witty and quite clever. I think that Katie is also a great role model for women, an outstanding journalist and most of all, has the most infectious smile. Muslim sages have a saying that “Flattery is the cure for deafness”. Katie, I hope I have perked up your ears. Ladies and Gentlemen…I now welcome the one and only Katie Couric.

Poor Daisy—it must be awful to be the victim. How much did you contribute, Daisy, to the 9-11 victims’ funds? Why don’t you Muslims put up some money to rebuild the legitimate 9-11 monument? or that Greek orthodox church you blew out of the sky? Just go away and leave us alone—I think I hear your Koran calling you.

Dialogue: Daisy Khan, Islamic supremacist mega-mosque imam’s wife, lies about and defames ex-Muslim heroine Wafa Sultan

Besides being an open advocate for Sharia and restrictions on the freedom of speech in his book What’s Right with Islam, Daisy Khan’s husband, the Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, has refused to denounce Hamas. He has lied about his commitment to religious dialogue. He has lied about whether the Islamic center planned for the Ground Zero site will contain a mosque or not. And he has lied about whether or not the project is getting foreign funding. He is involved with a group that helped fund the jihad flotilla against Israel.

And now the courageous ex-Muslim Wafa Sultan reveals that Daisy Khan has openly lied about her, claiming that she invited her to conferences when she didn’t.

for the UNknowing...

This is not a multicultural issue....its far greater

Here in this issue, we get to see the power of Sharia. Cash coming in from Iran, Saudiland etc etc even Pakistan.

When the founding fathers thought of America, their little baby, the last thing they wanted was an invasive force to stifle, smother it, and then overwhelm it and kill it.

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. Larger than that though, it is a political system, it is it’s own government, a economic system (which includes funding new mosque construction), its judicial...all wrapped up in the word sharia. This is inclusive of 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. The Korans Sharia rules are to consume whatever government there is wherever it goes.
Islam is political, and it’s goal is to supplant and replace. Globally.

When the founding fathers thought of America, their little baby, the last thing they wanted was an invasive force to stifle, smother it, and then overwhelm it and kill it.

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. He is doing nothing to protect America as per his oath. Also, as a Muslim, he knows this, he know far better, he knows sharia, but is looking to deceive America.

For all interested...Wanna learn more?

The other nations suffer the same problems....

Might as well ask Fidel if he wants to set up his government in Florida, and then expand it to the north and west, eating up the nation as the hispanics from Cuba and mexico populated it. Its the same as the competing government of sharia sprouting up across America.

Oh wait a minute.... Fidel needs a mask of religion. Lets let him use the Catholic church!

“Oh wait a minute.... Fidel needs a mask of religion. Lets let him use the Catholic church!”

Not very funny!
In fact your remark is quite insulting to Catholics.

Fidel has persecuted Catholics in Cuba, because he is a Communist,
Catholic Church has been here since the beginning, and many Catholics died on 9/11.

So what your point?

I just received this email - they don't even hide it. How stupid can we be...:

Subject: Prison Ministry - The Muslim Question

I have never seen this presented so clearly. This is excellent.

This is a true story and the author, Rick Mathes, is a well-known leader in prison ministry.

The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion per capita in the United States , especially in the minority races!!!

"Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for maintaining my state prison security clearance.

During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained each of their beliefs.

I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video.

After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers...

When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and asked:

'Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?'

There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, the replied, 'Non-believers!'

I responded, 'So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in h eaven Is that correct?'

The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.'

He sheepishly replied, 'Yes.'

I then stated, 'Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope John Paul commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!'

The Imam was speechless!

I continued, 'I also have a problem with being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a question:

Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?'

You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in shame. Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the Diversification' training seminar were not happy with Rick's way of dealing with the Islamic Imam , and exposing the truth about the Muslims' beliefs.

In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to elect the President!

I think everyone in the US should be required to read the above email - also read about Sharia law and be afraid - be very afraid

Here is a mosque inside the pentagon. Remember how shameful it was that they did not allow Graham to pray INSIDE the Pentagon so

Graham prayed alone, OUTSIDE of the Pentagon. Is it because precisely here is a mosque INSIDE the pentagon?

IS THAT TOLERANCE??? Reverse tolerance...

Islam is NOT a religion. They hide behind the "religion" curtain to have us fooled and accuse us of intolerance. It's a political cult following sharia law, their judicial system. Can you compare sharia to our 10 Commandements??? Does sharia law look religious to you???
