Ground Zero Mosque Imam Tapped as Mid East Envoy by State Departement
2010-08-10
WASHINGTON– State Department officials on Monday confirmed Feisal Abdul Rauf, the Imam of the so-called Ground Zero Mosque, will soon be going on a trip of the Middle East and the U.S. government will be picking up the tab.

The planned construction of a mosque near Ground Zero in New York City has set off a contentious national debate over religious freedom in the U.S., drawing impassioned opposition from some families of 9/11 victims.

Rauf has emerged as a controversial figure because of his refusal to acknowledge Hamas as a terrorist organization, which is how the U.S. government classifies the group. The imam also has been quoted as saying U.S. foreign policy was in part responsible for the 9/11 attacks.

So Hussein Obama consideres the U.S. is responsible for the 9/11 attacks.

#7  USAID has a swords to plow shears program in Mindanao. The program was designed to give small grants to get terrorists to lay down their weapons and become farmers. Briefed so well it brings a tear to my eye, then I realized it was bullshit slung all the was from the bowels of DC. The reality is that the Abu Sayyaff and MILF used the program as a retirement program. When a fighter was too old to fight he was negotiated to lay down his weapon and become a farmer, at your tax dollars expence. Now the fighter can farm seaweed and donate cash to the cause. All courtesy tree hugging liberals assholes that thing terrorists are freedom fighters and the US Army is an opressive organization that deserves to die....

#6  4 Are we sponsoring people's bomb-and-IED-making training yet? DarthVader

But of course we are. The US State Department spent millions providing security for the FIFA World Cup while the host country continues to aid and abet terrorist training camps and fund raising venues. Don't tell anyone though.... we wouldn't want a start-up, popular majority Soviet trained, African "democracy" to somehow fail and begin EATING one another now would we. Join me now as well all chant Lethu Mshini Wami and count our gold and blood diamonds.

Yes we are, actually, along with rocket making. We send "aid" to middle eastern countries and it gets funnled to our enemies.

#1  Absolute crap. This jerk is doing a victory lap and fund raiser on our tax dollars. And that to build a victory mosque on the scene where America suffered it's most lethal attack. With the fools at our state dept embracing programs like this and our congress approving programs like this shows great example of how broken and out of touch with reality our fed really is. The question is if the fed is beyond repair.
