“Moderate Muslim” Abdul Rauf: If I don’t get my mosque on Ground Zero, 1.5 gazillion Muslims will declare jihad on America…!

Ground Zero Supremacist Imam Rauf Threatens America: “If we don’t do this right, anger will explode in the Muslim world,” If we don’t handle this crisis correctly, it could become something very dangerous indeed.” GZM is a “national security issue”

“Handling it correctly” means ‘back off, kafir! Islam is not in America to play second fiddle…’

Fresh off his US taxpayer funded [fund raising] tour of the Middle East, Imam Rauf held command over the mainstream media. He rolled out with his unchallenged oped piece in this morning’s NY Times (“We are proceeding with the community center, Cordoba House.” ) and followed it up with his not so veiled against America threats on Larry King.  Soledad O’Brien did the interview on King’s moribund show. You remember Soledad, she called demagogue racebaiter Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s speech a “homerun”. Rauf was given free run of the joint on the Crescent NewsNetwork tonight.

Rauf said more than once that the issue about what to do with the mosque  is important for national security. Imam Bridge Builder warns us numerous times that the 15 story Islamic supremacist mega mosque at Ground Zero is now a “national security issue.” 

“If we don’t do this right, anger will explode in the Muslim world,” Rauf said. “… If we don’t handle this crisis correctly, it could become something very dangerous indeed.”

This crisis could become much bigger than the Danish Cartoon crisis shich resutled in attack on Danish embassies in various parts of the Muslim world [and hundreds of non-Muslims were slaughtered]

He said moving the project to another location would strengthen Islamist radicals’ ability to recruit followers and will increase violence against Americans.

Rauf’s contempt for us oozes from his every enlarged pore.

This is based on the false assumption that they are fighting us because we are doing things they don’t like. Actually they are fighting us because of imperatives within the Islamic faith. They will never like us unless we convert to Islam or submit to Islamic rule. If we stop doing things they dislike, where will we draw the line? How far will Sharia advance in the U.S., with Americans afraid to stop its advance for fear of offending Muslims and stirring them up to violence? The Muslim Students Association is already pushing for halal cafeterias, segregated dorms, segregated gym facilities on campus. This is incompatible with American freedom. Where do we draw the line? And when did America decide to surrender in installments? Has America so “fundamentally changed” that we cave to jihadist bullies or threats made Peter Lorre-ish imams with delusions of caliphs on the Hudson?

He said again that if he knew ahead of time the controversy this would create, he wouldn’t have made the plans to build the center at the currently planned site. Liar. He loves it.

Of course, they could also put the mosque in the basement:
