Prince bin Talal's new taqqiya

The leftist NY Times (via Big Peace) is reporting that Saudi prince al Waleed bin Talal is "opposing" the mosque at Ground Zero:
“I have been associated with this mosque in New York, but frankly speaking, I have nothing to do with it,” he said in an interview. “I’m not for putting that mosque there.”

Prince Walid offered a two-pronged explanation for why he was opposed to the project: he said out of respect for Islam, it does not belong at the proposed location because of its proximity to a strip club; and out of deference to the families of 9/11 victims who might feel antagonized, the Islamic center should not be near ground zero. “I respect all religions,” he said.

The prince’s charity, the Kingdom Foundation, has supported causes linked to the imam behind the project, Feisal Abdul Rauf, as another News Corporation outlet, The New York Post, has reported. But, he says, it does not support the Islamic center project near ground zero.”
But does it support Hamas, as Rauf does? I'm afraid this is taqqiya at its finest. If he supports some of imam Rauf's darkest dealings, why should I believe he's really against the mosque? It's just because he's worried about the controversy it's causing, that he probably didn't expect to happen, that all of a sudden he's allegedly opposing its construction. But I wouldn't be fooled so easily. Here's more about bin Talal's funding of Rauf on Raw Story and Yahoo News.

This could even tell us what to really expect of Rima Fakih, winner of the rigged Miss USA pageant this year.
