The New York Post reports:
The religious leader behind the proposed mosque near Ground Zero promised yesterday to allow the US government to sign off on anyone who donates to the $100 million project. Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf told "60 Minutes" that to reduce fears that terror organizations would contribute to the project, he'll ask US officials to approve the sources of funding. Rauf added that the mosque and Islamic cultural center will have a board of directors that will include Muslims, Christians and Jews.
Imam Rauf advocates for discriminatory and barbaric sharia law and that is be imposed here in America. Having hand-picked "Muslims, Christians and Jews" on the board winking and nodding their approval of the promotion of that ideology overlooking where sharia-complying Muslims slaughtered 2,752 men, women, and children on 9/11 adds sickening insult to grave injury.
The Investigative Project of Terrorism points out the dismal accounting record of Imam Rauf and wife Daisy Khan:
[F]ederal tax records show the Cordoba Initiative has not listed contributions from at least two charitable foundations that have supported its activities. In another case, a foundation gave money to Cordoba's sister group, the American Society for Muslim Advancement (ASMA), that was supposed to go to Cordoba; that money was also not listed in Cordoba's tax records. Cordoba has failed to list almost $100,000 in charitable donations since 2007, federal tax records show. Between 2006 and 2008, Cordoba's charitable tax filings with the IRS show a total of $31,668 in gross receipts. However, tax filings from two charities that have donated to Cordoba or ASMA show more than $130,000 to donations to Cordoba during that time.
Imam Rauf and his fellow investors have refused to open to public scrutiny where the $4.85 million came from to buy the Burlington Coat Factory. Two of those investors remain anonymous. ASMA, which Rauf founded, received $576,312 from Qatar the month before the building was purchased while some there have also financed terrorism. If Park51 is a cultural center and not a religious organization, it must already reveal its donors to New York State; New York has auditing and investigative authority over the Cordoba Initiative yet refuses to look into it.
Three-quarters of the 2,300 mosques and Islamic cultural centers in America were built with and are currently funded by Middle Eastern and Islamic-governed nations. It is their ideology being preached; foreign Islamists are radicalizing Muslims in America and promoting intolerance here against all non-believers. Meanwhile, our State Department continues to get advice from un-indicted co-conspirators (in past terror-financing trials) and sharia-promoting Muslims.
Imam Rauf should blink harder. He should move his sharia recruiting center far, far away from where like-minded Muslims committed genocide and brave American heroes fell.
New York State should audit the Cordoba Initiative back to its inception.
The Obama administration should stop sending Imam Rauf on Muslim-world outreach tours on the taxpayers' dime. It also should force the Muslim Brotherhood front groups operating here to register as agents of a foreign power under FARA.
The federal government should strip ASMA of the religious status that allows it to hide its donations from federal scrutiny.
The American people should demand an end to the foreign Whahabbi lobby's billions funding a massive attempt to overthrow our Constitution and end our liberty; there ought to be a law against it.
Pings!
When I drive home from NYC at night I usually take the Holland Tunnel. The road beyond the tunnel gives a beautiful view of lower Manhattan. It is so inspiring and uplifting to see those lights in September. I wish they could be on all year long but I guess it costs too much.
No to the GZ mosque and its creepy shephard.
[he’ll ask US officials]
Ordinarily, that would be OK but we now have a muslim in the White House.
I am sure there are all sorts of ways to launder money so anything Rauf says regarding funding I will just assume is a lie.
The abuse of nonprofit corporations has been out of hand for years. The only entities that should be tax exempt are real charities that house, clothe and feed people. And churches. Real churches promoting real religions, not garbage like islam which is a beard for a political system. islam is not a religion.
Most other countries do not have nonprofits at all. Take Mexico for example, they really have no nonprofits. The only nonprofits there are from the US. The ideas of charity and giving to such outfits is foreign to the Mexican mindset. The average Mexican will not give a cent to any charity. They just don’t do that. But they do understand free stuff from the Gringoes. Which is THE reason Mexicans and other South Americans come here. For all the free stuff. They think was are Santa Claus.
Great...
Our Kenyan president will get to approve Saudi money for this blight.
Thanks for the post, Tim.
The Burlington Burqa Factory and their dhimmi$/enabler$ will not $top. They have too much inve$ted.
Life, liberty and the pursuit and destruction of totalitarians.
40 Moslems, 1 White-hating Christian (Jeremiah Wright), and 1 self-hating Jew (Rahm Emanuel).
Take that, you Moslem-haters, you (sarcasm off).
Thanks to Renee Ellmers, in your links Tim, for her stand against the Muslim Base Camp at GZ, and her spotlighting of thug Etheridge’s silence. (Never heard of her before today)
HOORAY Renee!
I think the lights should be permanent.
