Rauf Out – Adhami In

Posted on 21 January 2011

Supporters of the Ground Zero mosque were surprised to see their buddy Imam Feisal Rauf suddenly dumped as spiritual leader of what was first Cordoba House and is now known at 51Park.  Rauf and his wife Daisy Kahn moved easily through the cocktail party circuit, schmoozing with wealthy liberals like Mayor Bloomberg and Arianna Huffington.  Rauf’s replacement is unfamiliar to them, and his circle of friends may prove to be quite a bit more radical than Imam Rauf’s.

The new spiritual leader, Shaykh Abdallah Adhami, was born in Washington, DC and received a degree in architecture from a New York university; however, he could hardly be thought of as Americanized.  Adhami, who claims to be a lineal descendent of the Prophet Mohammed, was from the age of eight until adulthood trained in sharia law and the Koran in Syria, Egypt, and Morocco.  Today, he lives with his family in Damascus, Syria, and travels widely as a lecturer on Islam.

As far as is known at this time, his lectures are not militant in tone, yet some of his associations  are setting off loud alarm bells even among tolerant, liberal supporters of the mosque.  One associate who is definitely not “tolerant” is Imam Siraj Wahhaj, the extremely radical leader of a Black Muslim congregation in Brooklyn.  Wahhaj was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.  Spewing more anti-American vitriol than the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Wahhaj sells books and tapes at his Brooklyn mosque (which was personally designed by architect Shaykh Abdallah Adhami).  In some of these sources, Siraj Wahhaj calls America a “garbage can” and looks forward to the day when America will “…crumble, and there will be nothing.  And the only thing that will remain will be Islam.” According to the book Muslim Mafia, Wahhaj told his congregation:  “If we go to war, brothers and sisters,and one day we will, believe me, that’s why you’re commanded (to fight in) jihad. When Allah demands us to fight, we’re not stopping and nobody’s stopping us.”

Far from condemning such calls to jihad, Abdallah Adhami praises Wahhaj at the website of Sakeenah, an organization founded and directed by Adhami.  Abdallah Adhami may not publicly say vicious things about jihad in America as Wahhaj does, but how can he praise Wahhaj and assist with building him a mosque, without agreeing with the things he says?

Along with new leadership, the description of the mega mosque has morphed once again.  At first it was said the Islamic center would have community meeting rooms, restaurants, a pool, many dormitory rooms, and a “prayer room.”  Now, the prayer room is planned to be a “prayer space for a congregation of about 1,000″ and there will also be “athletic facilities, a day care center, art galleries, an auditorium for cultural events, and a 9/11 memorial.”

    My, you’re late….!!

    We’ve known for nearly a year (Aug. 16, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZpT2Muxoo0 – also see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ithao7eZ0SY) that the Islamic center (“ground zero mosque” misnomer) would contain the entities you’re just getting around to describing. The question is, where have YOU been??!!

    Your malformed description of the Islamic community center reveals your flawed source: Islamaphobe Pam Geller. On her blog “the shrugging atlas with a naked golden lady image”, she’s been lying and exaggerating about this community center, even though the facts were revealed to her then. She is a zionist with anti-Islamic sentiments based on her inability to differentiate terrorists from law-abiding Muslim, in America or abroad.

    Please let Rauf and Daisy explain this in their beloved Sharia

    The Sharia of The Reliance of the Traveller ( certified by Al_Azhar university in Caïro) dictates in exact words:

    o1.2 The following are not subject to retaliation:

    2. a Muslim for killing a non-Muslim.
    3. a Jewish or Christian subject of the Islamic state for killing an apostate from Islam, because a subject of the state is under its protection, while killing an apostate from Islam is without consequences.
    4. a father or mother or their fathers or mothers for killing their offspring, or offspring’s offspring.

    o9.0 Jihad
    The lesser jihad
    De bladzijde 599 en 600
    Mohammed:
    I have been commanded to fight people until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammed is the Messenger of Allah, and perform the prayer and pay zakat. If they say it, they have saved their blood and possessions from me, except for the rights of Islam over them. And their final reckoning is with Allah.

      Your post merely shows your ignorance of Islam & Sharia.

      Most importantly (and I’m assuming that you don’t live in a predominantly Muslim populated country), you live WHERE? If NOT in a predominantly Muslim populated country, Sharia isn’t even close to becoming the law of the land…..despite what the Islamaphobes lyingly proclaim!

        I will make sure to tell that to the Hindu women in Pakistan who are kidnapped and forced in the polygamous Muslim marriages and to the families of the victims of honor killings in the UK and France. The martyred Christians in Iraq will be happy to know that the Muslim bombs that destroyed their churches and killed them had nothing to do with the insanity of Sharia. The jailed Brits who made the mistake of kissing in public in Saudi Arabia will be so glad to hear that you care. This is the reality: Sharia is a brutal body of laws that has no regard for human rights. Sharia enslaves and it is the enemy of democracy. Sharia “scholars” are all clear in their statements that democracy is an apostate religion that must be destroyed. Your comments have one of two origins: You are a lying Muslim or a liberal who has drunk of the cup of delusion and believes that a system that teaches it is proper to hang homosexuals is pro-gay; that a system that gives not rights to women is pro-feminist. Had you been around in 1937 you probably would have bought into National Socialism as well because, I am sure, you believe the problems of the world are caused by Jews.
