Ground Zero Imam Exposed Off-Mic--reveals “game plan” for achieving an Islamic State without borders

[Ooh-Ah]

“Bridge builder” Imam Feisal Abdel Rauf, the Muslim cleric behind plans for the Ground Zero mosque, has now been exposed as a man of shrewd cunning and as a calculating stealth jihadist who supports the creation of an Islamic State, “The Ummah,” right here in America.

An interview has surfaced in which, after being assured that it has ended, Imam Rauf speaks “off-the-record” and reveals some intriguing plans and views that he has regarding America and the world. The interview, given on June 20^th, 2006, sees Rauf speaking about his “game plan” for achieving an Islamic State without borders, which — in his mind — has previously existed and should have continued to exist, if not for Western interference in the last century. The Ground Zero mosque imam also discusses some of his other objectives which include: (1) manipulating U.S. foreign policy, (2) advocating  for Hamas and (3) getting “power” on his side to push back the opposing “interests.” In one part of the “post-interview,” he also boasts that he advised and influenced former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and that he has a blurb on the back of one of her books.

One can’t help from wondering: why is a “Sufi” cleric involved in such things?

Check out Rauf “off-mic” here:

To get a closer look at the psychology and true “game plan” of Imam Rauf, let’s take a closer look at some of the more intriguing quotes from him in this interview:

“9/11 was a watershed, was a major catalytic force in, in catalyzing the attention towards the issue of Islam, it’s presence in the West.”

This quote clearly reveals that the Imam sees 9/11 mainly as a major opportunity, a milestone in advancing Islam. In other words, he holds that the murder of 3,000 Americans is now facilitating the work of nice “moderate’ Imams like himself in America.

“How America should really engage with them [Hamas]…Helping her [Madeline Albright] understand the role of religion. She supported a Jewish State in the Middle East; why not support an Islamic State?”

When Rauf learned that the interview was over, he opens up regarding his advocacy for Hamas and how he advised and influenced former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright — with whom he claimed to have had constant contact. Rauf warns of the need to deal with Hamas lest we lose this organization to bad guys, like Syria or Iran, as if Hamas is not bad enough on its own. This is the same threat this ‘man of peace’ is warning America with — to never upset the Islamic street “or else.”

“We have designed our Cordoba Initiative to be designed, in other words, we have 5 major areas of our program. So we have foreign policy, is one area, you have communications is another area, you have education as the third area, for example, you have intra-Islamic issues is the fourth area, arts and culture is the fifth area.”

Why would Cordoba, which he claims to be a “cultural center,” have a “foreign policy” section that would develop “strategy action play”? What is it exactly he going to educate Americans about? Will he send Muslim coaches to American schools to teach sensitivity training to watch out for the feelings of Muslims? Or might he demand to educate American kids about how to pray to Allah?

“If the entertainment media, the news media, was broadcasted in print, describe and speak about the issues in a different way it can help change perceptions profoundly, because it’s the media, which helps shape perceptions to a great degree. So if we have strategic action plays, designed plays, in the area of foreign policy, in the area of healing the divide, and then you unpack and give up Israel. You then have to have your offensive coaching stuff, your offensive coach and defensive coach and your head coach, we have to have our Palestinian coach, etc.”

Rauf speaks here like a war strategist who wants to use the media to shape perceptions to promote his strategic action plays in the area of foreign policy. Rauf and I are both of Egyptian origin and I think he is still dreaming of the good old days when the Egyptian media propaganda machine I lived under and participated in was at its strongest. Before moving to America, I was a journalist and media censor in the Middle East News Agency. There is no other way to interpret what Rauf wants: to use the media the way the tyrants and dictators of the Middle East do: as a traditional Islamic tool of indoctrination, misinformation and propaganda. Watch how clever Rauf inserts words like “healing the divide” right before hitting us with “you unpack and give up Israel.”

“I am the head coach of this strategic initiative and the President of the United States, or the President of Malaysia, or the President of England, is like a player you want to bring in for particular plays. We look at it as American football, you want to gain yardage.”

Are we supposed to believe that these are normal words of a peaceful Sufi cleric? What is it that he wants to win in yardage, one yard at a time?  These are clearly grandiose plans of what appears to be a borderline delusional narcissist who admits he plans to manipulate U.S. foreign policy, the U.S. president, the “president” of England (someone please inform the Queen on that one!) whom he considers as just “players” in his grand scheme.

When he is asked who he considers to be “the enemy,” he answers: “You have to make sure you are not pushed back, you have to make sure you have power on your side to be able to push the ball forward.” Is this ‘community building’ or a war strategy?

Mr. Rauf goes on to speak of his vision of the Islamic State:

“I don’t want a demographic Islamic State, it is not a part of our tradition and never was until recently.” He added “Egypt, Alexandria, had 400,000 Greeks” “We created the notion of demographic Nation State whereas before that they were all living together.”

Rauf has an illusion of an Islamic State that never was and never will be. For some reason, I’m hearing John Lennon’s song “Imagine” (there’s no countries… no borders etc).

Rauf’s true self, motives and objectives have been exposed in this interview. To him, the hard Jihad of 9/11 was just a catalytic beginning that facilitated his form of stealth Jihad. Soften the American public with a huge explosive terror act that divides Americans and sends their heads spinning, then comes Rauf to save the day with his community “bridge-building” at Ground Zero. To him, 9/11 was just a strategic move in an Islamic/Western chess game. With both violent and stealth jihad coordinating their efforts and by playing the old “good cop-bad cop” routine on the American psyche, Rauf aims at becoming the Muslim hero in America who will join those who want to break down America’s borders brick by brick until finally one day America is transformed into a Sharia-compliant Islamic state.

Faisal Rauf is the typical double-faced Islamist who speaks from both sides of his mouth. Even his book has one “nice” title in English to fool the West, while in Arabic it advocates Sharia from Ground Zero. While claiming that his mission is non-political, just community building, his interview not only exposes him but more importantly exposes Islam’s goals and the fact that “moderate” Islam can work in perfect harmony and in conjunction with radical Islam.

Imam Rauf is dangerous, but what is more dangerous is our State Department which has has been facilitating the agenda of a clearly megalomaniacal stealth jihadist.

"I summon my blue-eyed slaves anytime it pleases me. I command the Americans to send me their bravest soldiers to die for me. Anytime I clap my hands a stupid genie called the American ambassador appears to do my bidding. When the Americans die in my service their bodies are frozen in metal boxes by the US Embassy and American airplanes carry them away, as if they never existed. Truly, America is my favorite slave."

I guess their oil is the only POSSIBLE reason to shed American blood for these people. It begs a question: WHY THE HELL AREN’T WE USING OUR OWN?? ARE WE MAD? (Don’t answer that.)

Ajami closes with a story from 638: when the second caliph, Omar, was being shown around Jerusalem by the Patriarch Sophronius, he was inside the church of the Holy Sepulchre when it came time for prayer. Instead of praying where he was he insisted on going outside of the church so that his followers wouldn’t try to convert that Christian holy place into a Muslim shrine.

The modern democrat party embraces terrorist (Ayers, Rathke, etc.) and Marxists (JOnes, et al in the White Hut inner circle) don’tchaknow. They are the ‘enlightened thinkers’ who have imagined the means to impliment the one world government that generates human utopia on planet Earth! Have you ‘knot’ yet embraced the darkside? Get with the democrat party plan there, Scythian! The American Republic is obsolete. Unions must be enlarged and the wages reduced as governemnt provided benefits rise, so that the wages of international union workers may be increased and the American taxpayer fund the benefits of all union members. Don’t you even listen to what the Obama adviser/sage genius Andy Stern proclaims? Has the coming and goin of Anita Dunn escaped your attention? Doesn’t the democrat legislation jsut tingle your tangle? We the people are the subjects of the new federal oligarchy which the democrats are finishing as we sit and observe! Don’t interrupt progress, Scythian. The secular commie force be with you.

It is quite amazing to witness taqiyya in operation. Where does one nail these lying islamics down when they lie continuously? Do other mooselimbs even know when they’re being lied to?

Don’t Forget that this Imam is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

He’s more of a political insider, elite, establishment expert than he is a Muslim.

Our problem is we don’t have a vision of a world that is free and governed by the principles of the US Constitution. I always believed that, after the cold war, we should create a foreign policy that had that as its goal. We were moving in that direction, but Clinton screwed it up, and Bush II didn’t articulate anything coherent.

"Were the Founding Fathers including efforts at establishing an Islamic “state without borders” in their concept of freedom of religion? I don’t believe they were. In their day they wouldn’t have thought that possible. They were concerned about equal rights for Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Methodists, Baptists, Quakers, Jews. . . . "

Scratch Episcopalians! There were no Episcopalians until the American Revolution.

The Episcopal Church was started when the Founding Fathers passed laws making treasonous the Church of England's required religious practice of swearing allegiance to and praying for the King. Those congregations were reorganized - without the treasonous religious elements - as the Episcopal Church.

The Founding Fathers knew that true love of the Constitution & Country required that "Religious Freedom" ends were treason to that Constitution & Country begins. True patriots will see their lesson for today's America.

Interesting word he uses “objectives”. It can be demonstrated that those “objectives” have to do with eventually bringing Sharia to all of America. Obama is obviously aiding the Imam to meet his objectives. Then there's the media.

I have been looking for the speech for years and finally found it, it was Reagan’s last major speech at the Oxford Union in 1992, I think of this speech as his parting words and a blueprint for the post-Cold War world, and although you could see some signs of what was to come, he was still as brilliant as ever. And obviously few have heeded his words- more’s the pity. I must admit watching this speech, my eyes welled up a few times, as I realized how much I miss this man.
