Tel-Chai Nation

Now I will post yet some more items on imam Feisal Abdul Rauf's planned monstrosity. For example:

Atlas Shrugs (via Jihad Watch) provides some more info on Rauf's anti-Israeli statements, including this abomination:

"In a true peace it is impossible that a purely Jewish state of Palestine can endure. . . . In a true peace, Israel will, in our lifetimes, become one more Arab country, with a Jewish minority."

Oh, that's moderate alright! Update: Ilya Feoktistov provides some more notes on the troubling texts of this horrible imam.

In this poll at the NY Daily News, we learn that 71 percent are now opposed to the mosque, and want it moved away from Ground Zero.

Diana West is writing on Big Peace about some of Rauf's other connections, and guess who else is helping him: Saudi prince al Waleed bin Talal. There's a special article on World Net Daily about this too, that tells the following:

The Saudi prince whose post-9/11 relief check was rejected by former New York Mayor Rudy Guiliani has found a more willing recipient in the city for his millions: the head of the Ground Zero mosque project.

The same Saudi potentate, Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, owns the biggest chunk of the parent company of the Fox News Channel outside of the Murdoch family.

Former Bush advisers have similar ties to the prince and the proposed mega-mosque in Manhattan, which may explain why they've asked Republicans to soften their opposition to it.

WND has learned that one of the original board members of the nonprofit group promoting the 13-story mosque and "cultural center" took the job as a favor to James A. Baker III, the former President George H.W. Bush official and lawyer who defended Saudi government officials against a lawsuit filed by families of 9/11 victims. Baker has counted bin Talal as a client.

Now this, if so, is VERY eyebrow-raising, and not only lets more people know about someone whom Rupert Murdoch should not be doing business with, no matter what influence it could have on FOX, it also tells how the Dubya administration may have to shoulder some responsibility for the problems we face now.

In part two of West's research, she finds that a former secretary of state named Condoleeza Rice has attended some events with Rauf, both in Washington and abroad. Another telling clue that, if we're to fix the mistakes made today, we have to look at what previous administrations like Dubya's did wrong.

Michael Bloomberg has actually said that he's against investigating the funding for the mosque (also via Jihad Watch). He really does have something to hide, IMO, and it's his newfound disrespect for his country and the city he represents, all for the sake of relations with the UAE. Again, this is why I think all his businesses should be boycotted.
