The Man behind the Mosque

Feisal Abdul Rauf: The Imam behind the controversial plan to build a mosque near ground zero

Americans are compassionate and sensitive people.  Americans support a person’s right to practice the religion of their choice.

Americans don’t care if there are thousands of cathedrals, churches, chapels, temples, and synagogues spread across our great nation.  Americans don’t care if there are thousands of mosques across our land, or that there are over a hundred around New York City.

Liberty.

A cherished gift we assumed our government would protect.

We were wrong.

Each day, the ideology of the Obama administration carves away at our liberty as big government intrudes deeper into our lives.  But liberty is not all that government has whittled away.  Government has also lost respect and tolerance for Americans with differing viewpoints.

Consider the matter of Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf.

Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf

Rauf is ramming his Sharia Law-encased thumb deep into the eye of many Americans by a attempting to build a mosque near Ground Zero.

Rauf says the mosque will show that Islam is a religion of sensitivity and compassion.  Yet what could be more insensitive than a mosque on hallowed ground where nearly three thousand Americans were killed by Islamic terrorists?
