Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) on Sunday strongly criticized Feisal Abdul Rauf, the imam seeking to build an Islamic community center and mosque near Ground Zero.
“He seems by his actions to be more interested in confrontation than in healing,” Giuliani said on NBC’s "Meet the Press."
The former mayor alleged that the plan is hurtful to the vast majority of family members of victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks.
Giuliani also said the imam has not been transparent about the project’s financing, and cited Rauf’s 2001 comment on CBS’s 60 Minutes that “United States policies were an accessory to the crime that happened.”

We wish it were a money scam. Rauf is not Jesse Jackson in drag. He actually does want to install sharia and take over the US through the Islamic chosen one, aka, Barack Hussein Obama.
We can give him all the money in the world, and he’ll still be back to build that mosque (which is not really a mosque, but a “rabat,” an administrative and cultic building that Muslims build on conquered territory).
So - what is it you like about the man and admire, But not for office? Have you ever heard Him speak ? He is a leader.. Has faults, but proven leader.
Oh c'mon FRiend, he's a likable guy, his speech at the 2004 RNC convention was out of the park, right up there withe Zell Millers. I like Newt, Huckabee and Morris too for their POINT OF VIEW, though I would not get behind them as a leader or POTUS.
Say what you will about Rudy but he did a good job in NY City, that I agree with. Do I want him as POTUS, no....listening to their input is another story.
Look, I'm not one to tear apart those who are on our side. I like Rush, Hannity, Levin etc and agree with them 99% of the time. Too many here want to take one thing out of 10, 000 things they have said over time and bash them over the head with it...sorry, but that is a losing game.
It’s the wider view if you will. No one in a Country of this size will get all they want, You , Me , or the guy across the street. You want 99%, well so would I, Not going to happen
Reducing spending, limiting Govt. I’ll take that.
As I said, I like Rudy as a pundit, but not a leader. If I had to vote for him vs. islamobama....well, let's hope we don't have to cross that bridge, Mc Cain was bad enough!

MAkes me wonder if the really important people have their people looking over sites like this. A number of us here have been clling out this clown for what his real aim is to cause division among us. If they are, they are late to the party!

Well said.
Reciprocity NOW!!!!
Well said! We must use our freedom to worship as a weapon to bang the Muslims over the heads. No more mosques in America until they allow us free worship in their countries!
More likely scenario is that Islam ... will be ... pacified.
Yeah, you’re right. Islamists will never be satisfied with any level of humanly possible conformity. It will always be “death” to the infidels, with nonfidelity defined to ever decreasing levels of differences. I suppose even if every person on earth was a clone of Mohammed’s ideal Muslim, in form and thought, they would argue violently about the rising of the moon, or the shadow of a dog, or whatever might be seen differently from two points of view.
