My God. We have Muslims' writing presidential speeches.
America - you better start waking up FAST.
I don't believe Hussein will appreciate the imam's "boasting."
When Americans elect a Muslim President seven years after 9/11, how would you expect them to wake up!!Ignorant of Islam and Islamic history of invasions and jihad to kill, convert and occupy, they keep believing the PC crowd, multi-culturists, Islamic apologists, MSM, experts and remain oblivious of the dangers of Islam in their society!!!
I don't see signs of America waking up from the deep coma it is in!!
Well, that ought to explain all the nonsense that Robert tore to pieces in his analysis of that monumental load of taqqiya and plain BS.
I still can't help thinking how just plain disconnected from reality on all levels it was for Buraq Hussein to talk about mahoundianism as a force for "tolerance", "scientific progress" and, worst of all, "racial equality" in his speech; especially when the word for black (like Buraq Hussein, Jeremiah Wrong and Jesse Jackson the three self-hating foolish islamophilic stooges) in arabic is the English equivalent of slave.
Amazing! But hardly surprising. Obama doesn't write his own speeches, so the only question has been, who did? Now we know.
Gateway Pundit has more on this story at http://gatewaypundit.firstthings.com/2010/08/radical-ground-zero-mosque-imam-obamas-cairo-speech-to-muslim-world-came-from-me/ . It appears that Walid Shoebat uncovered this information.
Coming just before the elections this news is very timely, and should help to move the popularity of Obama and his supporters down yet a few more notches.
This is major news given America's slowly growing awareness of Islam as an extremely intolerant & anti-constitutional, anti-human rights evil force. I hope it makes at least Fox News. Will the MSM touch it? doubt it.
Again I would not be swayed by Obama's claim that he's Christian since Muslims can claim that in their sense as a true follower of Jesus the prophet. If he's not a Muslim at least at heart he might as well be.
The money quote:
His (Rauf's) suggestion to Muslims on how to deal with western Christians and Jews was:
“deal with them as one courts a pretty girl he wants to date; stop thinking like a typical Muslim. Then you can engage.”
Yes, charm and gull them, rather than bullying them as a "typical Muslim" would. Seduction instead of rape -- but either way, the object of the exercise ends up getting f**ked.
Beautiful PW, this is really the nut of it all, isn't it?
His (Rauf) suggestion to Muslims on how to deal with western Christians and Jews was:
“deal with them as one courts a pretty girl he wants to date; stop thinking like a typical Muslim. Then you can engage.”
Stealth Jihad at its best, to 'seduce' Sharia into America.
Obama's Cairo speech was smooth, reassuring, hopeful… but really taqiyya?
The message was from Rauf's slithering pen? … Now it makes sense!
Obama said in his Cairo speech:
"The enduring faith of over a billion people is so much bigger than the narrow hatred of a few. Islam is not part of the problem in combating violent extremism – it is an important part of promoting peace."
How exactly does Islam, and its minions like Rauf, promote peace, when their supremacist agenda is to take over the world for Allah with their Sharia? Stealth Jihad 'seduction'?
We are not at war with 'terrorism', that is merely a tactic of Jihad. Nor are we at war with anyone's personal faith of any kind, including Islam, if it does not lead to 'violent extremism'. But we are at war with a seditious Sharia ideology to replace our freedoms enshrined by law in our Constitution. Islam and Sharia are inseparable, so Islam is therefore "part of the problem", and NOT the solution. Any Sharia proponent mosque in America, and its imams, including their proposed flagship Ground Zero mosque, ARE the problem.
They know one another??!! ...well, now isn't THAT interesting!
"I don't see signs of America waking up from the deep coma it is in!!"
How 'bout the deep **** it is in?
Not even tongue in cheek, I wondered on a previous post if Rauf was one of the "religious advisors" that Obama "consults" via daily spam messages to his Blackberry, which in his political lair, passes for religious practice.
Why would he not be proffered as the Muslim equivalent to Billy Graham?
And here he is. Most of Obama's speeches are written by a clueless wet-behind-the-ears naif named Jon Favreau (no, not that Jon Favreau). But since this one was beyond his pay grade, would it be any wonder Rauf would be the "pick me" guy called upon by Axelrod, et al?
Who would vet his speechwriting? Would they dare? What litmus tests would they use to decide whether a specific turn of a phrase was well advised to a Muslim or American audience?
Somebody here wrote of a grotesque, but apt comparison to Rauf and his smarmy, dangerous way: The scene in "Saving Private Ryan" where the German they had previously let go in a prior act comes back, and wrestles an American soldier and kills him, not by a single, Hollywood-Psycho stab, but by a slow, awful slither into the soldier's upper chest, all the while soothing him..."Shhhh...shhhhh...shhhh" as the knife went in to the hilt.
That is the analogous length of time the implementation of Muslim society will take.

Yes. Additionally, in the New York Post today, a full page is given over to New York City's mayor Bloomberg's prepared remarks "for his annual Ramadan celebration at Gracie Mansion yesterday." (N.B. - I was until today unaware that Ramadan is celebrated at the Mayor's mansion - Christmas, Rosh Hashonah, Passover, Easter, the Hindu festival Diwali, etc. are not celebrated there. Only Ramadan. Why?)
Excerpted from the mayor's speech: At an interfaith memorial service for the martyred journalist Daniel Pearl, Imam Rauf said, "If to be a Jew means to say with all one's heart, mind, and soul: 'Shma Yisrael, Adonai Elohenu Adonai Ehad; Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One,' not only today I am a Jew, I have always been one. If to be a Christian is to love the Lord our God with all of my heart, mind, and soul, and to love for my fellow human being what I love for myself, then not only am I a Christian, but I have always been one."
Rauf, as a Muslim, can aver that he is, in effect, both Jew and Christian. His rationale for calling himself a Christian is explained succinctly by our friend Canto28. He may also, however, presume to call himself a Jew because Muslims subscribe to a type of replacement theology where they cast themselves as the new Children of Israel, superseding the Biblical Israelites, who incurred the everlasting wrath of Allah owing to their numerous sins, perversions, and disobedience as recounted in the Quran's many antisemitic passages. Rauf is skilled in taqiyya and kitman, and his misleading and disingenuous assertions are easily swallowed by ignoramuses such as Bloomberg, who know nothing of Islam and refuse to learn anything about it.
Beware of the oily rug merchant!!!

"Ground Zero mega-mosque Imam Rauf boasts that he wrote Obama's June 2009 Cairo speech"
After listening to the tape recording and reading the linked text, I cannot find any support for the above headline. It appears that Rauf claims that the Obama speechwriter utilized Ch 6 of his book in writing the Cairo speech, not that Rauf, himself, authored it.
To see the huge gap between what Obama said in Cairo and the reality of Islam, go to Amazon.com and take a look at "Islam and Barack Hussein Obama: A Handbook on Islam."
