From Atlas Shrugs, a revealing screen shot of Perdana page at Perdana4Peace.org
The single largest funder of the IHH jihad warship convoy (aka flotilla) and Imam Rauf is a prominent figure in this hate group and terror sponsor. He is ranked second right behind Mahathir Mohammed the notorious Jew hater from Malaysia, “Jews control the world by proxy” .
And from Front Page Mag:
This video reveals The Truth About the Flotilla that was ignored by the international community and buried by the mainstream media.
Senior Israeli Defense Forces officials have provided the following video about the “Flotilla Incident” that took place on May 31, 2010. It reveals the truth behind the event.
At 3:02 in the video you will hear the Turkish crew on the Mavi Marmara responding to the Israeli Navy: “Shut the Fuck Up. Go Back to Auschwitz. We’re helping the Arabs go against the US and Don’t Forget 9-11 “
Follow-up investigations revealed that “the rioters were found with large sums of money in their pockets and without identifying information” .
At 0:34 one of potential martyrs says : I wanted to be a shahid, I wasn’t that lucky. Third time lucky, with the help of god, I will be a shahid”
Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is a prominent figure in a hate group that was the single largest funder of the flotilla. This is an outrage.
We do not need any hand-holding, Imam Rauf. You must build your bridges elsewhere. Ground Zero is sacred ground, a memorial to those murdered by the Shahids of Islam.
And we ask you, Mayor Bloomberg, Community Board #1 and the Landmark Commission to do the right thing.
Grant Landmark Status to 45-47 Park Place.
Do NOT tear down these walls!

UPDATE:
And this is very important, if any of you are in Manhattan tomorrow evening, July 27, 2010, please come to the next Community Board 1 meeting concerning the Ground Zero mosque site at 6:00 PM at Dance New Amsterdam, 280 Broadway, 2nd Floor (entrance on Chambers and Elk Streets).

World leaders, prominent politicians and 911 family members will be speaking. This is a solemn protest.
Please, no inflammatory signs. “Ground Zero is sacred ground.” “Ground Zero is a war Memorial.” “Ground Zero Mosque is Radically Insensitive.”
We will begin with interfaith prayer and the playing of “Taps” for the 911 victims.
Please mark your calenders. (snip) If you feel this mosque is an insult, a stab in the eye to those Americans who lost their lives in the largest attack on American soil in history, now is the time.

UPDATE: 7-23-10: Our legal team is working furiously to slow down mad rush to build the 911 mega mosque in time to open on September 11, 2011. Here’s the latest from the lawyer Jay Sekulow of the ACLJ . And you can read the ACLJ letter here.
FROM Pamela Geller on Landmark Status (7-22-10): We have filed our written submission with the Landmarks Protection Commission. The record is closed. At least according to the LPC, the record is closed.
WE CAN STILL PROTEST THE GROUND ZERO MOSQUE AT COMMUNITY BOARD#1
Community Board 1 meets on Tuesday at 6:00 PM at Dance New Amsterdam, 280 Broadway, 2nd Floor (entrance on Chambers and Elk Streets). Despite reports that the vote was unanimous, it was not. 29 voted for the Islamic supremacist mosque, 4 against, and 9 abstentions.
We need to be there! ALL OF US. It is critical that the world sees we will not go away and that we won’t back down. We need to be orderly and civil, but we need to let these people know we will not back down. The LPC is expected to vote at one of its upcoming meetings, probably in August.
In Staten Island, an average of 150 members of the community have protested every Sunday for six weeks against the planned sale of the convent building to the Muslim American Society (MAS), the public face of the Muslim Brotherhood. There is are reams of documentation tying the leaders of the MAS with Hamas and other terrorist organizations.

“America is experiencing an Islamist cultural-political offensive designed to undermine and destroy our civilization. Sadly, too many of our elites are the willing apologists for those who would destroy them if they could. No mosque. No self deception. No surrender. The time to take a stand is now – at this site… on this issue.”

From Atlas Shrugs (7-22-10) There will be no mosque in Midland (Staten island)! The Saint Margaret Mary Church will not be converted into a Muslim Brotherhood project.
NYC Councilman Oddo confirmed the NO vote by the Board of Trustees.
News just broke that the Catholic Church has reversed and and canceled the sale of the convent in Midland Beach to MAS.
This is now a textbook case on how to fight Islamic supremacists.
Statement on Saint Margaret Mary Parish
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 22, 2010
STATEMENT ON SAINT MARGARET MARY PARISH
Father Keith Fennessy, pastor of Saint Margaret Mary parish on Staten Island, announced in June that after careful consideration he was withdrawing his support for the planned sale of the parish convent to the Muslim American Society.The trustees of the parish have met, as legally required under New York State law, and voted to ratify the pastor’s decision.
The Muslim American Society has been informed that the sale of the convent will not take place.
The Archdiocese of New York has enjoyed a good relationship with the Islamic community in the past, and looks forward to continued dialogue, friendship, and understanding in the future.
It is also our prayer that unity will now return to the parish and to the Midland Beach community.
See the video from the Staten Island Community Board Meeting on June 11, where we made a difference! go here

Cries of Islamophobia from Arab Detroit News and the usual characters posing as ‘moderates”. And we all know how well the Muslims in Dearborn (Michigan!) are getting along with their local Christian Community.
What follows is their article with our NMAGZ reactions in RED.
New York Mosque Initiative Sheds Light on Post 9-11 Islamophobia
 |
A highly contentious plan to build a 13-story mosque in New York City has garnered its fare share of attention in recent days. Politicians, political pundits, and community members are ardently vocalizing their opinion about whether the mosque should be allowed to exist just a few blocks away from ground zero.
Organizers and supporting local Islamic institutions say the mosque, coined the Cordoba House, would aim to achieve a tipping point between Muslim-West relations and would work to promote a peaceful image of Muslim Americans around the county who stand in solidarity against the attacks of 9-11.
However, those opposing the mosque claim that granting its construction so close to the World Trade Center site would be insensitive to 9-11 families who may still have open wounds in the aftermath of the day’s tragedies. (who MAY still have open-wounds??)
Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) spokesman, Ibrahim Hooper, 
… worries about a resurgence of underlying racism and anti-Muslim backlash taking root not only in New York but nationwide. (CAIR worries about racism? (SNIP)) “What we’re seeing is that some people are trying to exploit and promote Islamophobia in our country by opposing these ordinary expansions of mosques…And they’ve actually put out step by step guides on how to oppose a mosque when it comes to your area, so it’s very disturbing,” Hooper told CNN last week.NMAGZ: From Ibrahim Hooper, in an interview with the Minneapolis Star-Tribune in 1993: “I wouldn’t want to create the impression that I wouldn’t like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future … But I’m not going to do anything violent to promote that. I’m going to do it through education.”
John Esposito, professor of Religion and International Affairs and director of the Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding at Georgetown University, calls such anti-Muslim speech intolerable. (interesting cast-of characters) In his CNN editorial, he denounces all “islam bashing charges,” in particular the accusation that the mosque— a 100 million dollar project— is being funded exclusively by foreign terrorist interests. “The call by some New York politicians for a delay in the construction of the Cordoba Center to examine its funding is simply grandstanding that reinforces the notion that somehow all Muslims, mosques and Islamic centers are guilty until proved innocent,” said Esposito.
NMAGZ: From John Esposito (when discussing his bridge-building Center of tolerance) “The Center, since its creation in 1993, has built bridges of understanding between the Muslim world and the West, addressing stereotypes of Islam and Muslims and issues and questions such as the clash of civilizations, and the compatibility of Islam and modern life – from democratization and pluralism to the status of women, minorities and human rights – and American foreign policy in the Muslim world.”
Imad Hamad, Michigan Regional Director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), says it is this extreme, odious discourse that reminds him of how deep seated islamophobia really is. “This kind of misinformed discussion attests to the fact that despite the long years of pain and suffering that we endured post 9-11, (now that statement is offensive, self-serving and insensitive) (SNIP)
NMAGZ: Imad Hamad … another bridge-builder to paradise….
President of the Michigan Palestine Office, Hasan Newash, is also frustrated that such anti-Muslim sentiments exist today, almost ten years after 9-11. ( bet he has no problem with relentless anti-Semitism or the murderous cries of “From The River To the Sea) He questions why Muslims must fight to build a mosque near ground zero when Christians who sought to build a church near the Oklahoma city bombing site never met resistance. (CHRISTIANS did not blow up that building in the name of Jesus Christ) “The fact that this question is even raised–whether building the mosque is offensive or insensitive–is completely disturbing,” said Newash. (If anyone believes what these people have written here…now THAT is disturbing)
NMAGZ: And the organization of which Hassan Newash is President, is even MORE disturbing. Check it out .
(In conclusion) Hasan says, “Muslims are not evil by definition. (but…Hasan, what about Islam? huh?)

Excerpt from article at Weekly Standard:
“Nearly every statement El-Gamal made in this video can be rebutted.
Asked by CNN’s Deborah Feyerick why there is no provision for a Buddhist, Jewish, or Christian prayer space within the planned structure, El-Gamal says “this [Islamic cultural center] is a need that exists,” then insists “there is a need – it’s supply and demand – the community wants this.”
But El-Gamal is clearly wrong. Manhattan Island has eight functioning mosques affiliated with Sunni and Shia Islam. Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and New Jersey have dozens more. Many are also called “Islamic Centers” or “Islamic Cultural Centers.” ”
Another excerpt: ” Imam Rauf himself told 60 Minutes soon after 9/11, “I wouldn’t say that the United States deserved what happened, but the United States policies were an accessory to the crime that happened.”
If Sharif El-Gamal truly wants to establish a place for moderate Islam, it would be more appropriate for him to use his assets and influence to change the leadership of some of the region’s Wahhabi-controlled “Islamic Centers,” like the notorious Westbury Mosque on Long Island, a hotbed of radical Islam with which Imam Rauf is linked.”

Sarah Palin’s Notes
Tuesday, July 20, 2010 at 8:59 pm
Earlier today, Mayor Bloomberg responded to my comments about the planned mosque at Ground Zero by suggesting that a decision not to allow the building of a mosque at that sacred place would somehow violate American principles of tolerance and openness.
No one is disputing that America stands for — and should stand for — religious tolerance. It is a foundation of our republic. This is not an issue of religious tolerance but of common moral sense. To build a mosque at Ground Zero is a stab in the heart of the families of the innocent victims of those horrific attacks. Just days after 9/11, the spiritual leader of the organization that wants to build the mosque, Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf, suggested that blame be placed on the innocents when he stated that the “United States’ policies were an accessory to the crime that happened” and that “in the most direct sense, Osama bin Laden is made in the USA.” Rauf refuses to recognize that Hamas is a terrorist organization dedicated to the destruction of our ally, Israel, and refuses to provide information about the sources of funding for the $100 million mosque. Rauf also plays a key role in a group behind the flotilla designed to provoke Israel in its justifiable blockade of Gaza. These are just a few of the points Americans are realizing as New York considers the proposed mosque just a stone’s throw away from 9/11’s sacred ground.
I agree with the sister of one of the 9/11 victims (and a New York resident) who said: “This is a place which is 600 feet from where almost 3,000 people were torn to pieces by Islamic extremists. I think that it is incredibly insensitive and audacious really for them to build a mosque, not only on that site, but to do it specifically so that they could be in proximity to where that atrocity happened.”
Many Americans, myself included, feel it would be an intolerable and tragic mistake to allow such a project sponsored by such an individual to go forward on such hallowed ground. This is nothing close to “religious intolerance,” it’s just common decency.

As we wait for a decision on the Landmark Status of 45-47 Park Place, the Islamisation of Europe has grown to desperate proportions. The Islamic conquest of Western Europe: Is it a ‘done-deal”?
Intifada. Intifada! God save us all from Intifada.
Could this be our future?
As we fight to save our schools, our textbooks, our laws and our financial institutions from creeping Islamization perhaps, where we least expect it, there is a small glimmer of hope…
France bans-the-burqa! NO burqas to be worn in public or the woman will be fined.
But, Amnesty International, in the first half of the video, thinks France is out-of-line and at 1:56 the young burqa-clad woman couldn’t agree more as she “complies” with the law by instructing others in “How to avoid the French ban on burqa”
But, the glimmer fades. “The Council of Europe has said it is opposed to bans on veils and that they deny women a basic right.”
And the British Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in David Cameron’s coalition cabinet couldn’t agree more: “Caroline Spelman Supports the Burqa” .
Dhimmis!!
Found an interesting comment on this subject of women’s rights,
” Terrifying that a woman could ever think there might be anything positive about this shackling and enslaving garment ” and “If Muslim men can’t trust themselves not to think impure thoughts about the opposite sex unless they’re shrouded like bats in black tents, then perhaps they need to re-think their whole philosophy, and the men should stay indoors just in-case they should fall victim to their own carnal desires?”
(Just a thought)
And this week Muslims have violently attacked the EDL (The English Defence League) for rallying in support of their Western and British culture, while the British police collude with the Muslims!
Could the Western world get any more weak-kneed? Our U.S. Government? Our NYC Mayor? What’s next? Memorials and Gardens to 9-11 shaped like the Muslim crescent? (the crescent is there on the glass tower of voices; up top)
Or a mosque at Ground Zero? (another tower of glass)
Mayor Bloomberg supports the Ground Zero Mosque as a Freedom-of-Faith issue. Like Freedom-of-Faith in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria…IRAN?
“ The regime in Tehran is sending out mixed signals as to whether Iran’s Criminal Code will now impose the death penalty on Muslims who forsake Islam to convert to Christianity.”
Freedom of Faith….
So now we must wait (briefly) for the Landmark Commission to meet again; to decide on the landmark status of the building at 45-47 Park Place.
Why wasn’t the building of the 9-11 Memorial handled with such rapidity. Nine years later and it still drags on….
From HotAir , “If some imam decided he wanted to build a mosque on Ground Zero… at the foot of the never-to-be-completed Freedom Tower, shouldn’t we indulge him…. if he decided he wanted to build it in the shape of an airplane — just to “reclaim the symbol” from the evil jihadists who attacked on 9/11…. shouldn’t we indulge him … At what point is it okay to question motives …? ”
Mayor Bloomberg why not track the financing for the GZ Mosque? Transparency. What are you afraid of? That someone might have to explain those Gaza flotillas.
” The imam (Rauf) behind a proposed mosque near Ground Zero is a prominent member of a group that helped sponsor the pro-Palestinian activists who clashed violently with Israeli commandos at sea this week.
Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is a key figure in Malaysian-based Perdana Global Peace Organization, according to its Website.
Perdana is the single biggest donor ($366,000) so far to the Free Gaza Movement, a key organizer of the six-ship flotilla that tried to break Israel’s blockade of the Hamas-run Gaza Strip Monday.”
And then there’s that NYC Intifada-thing (the infamous T-shirt from 2007). Perhaps “NYC Intifada” was a more prescient threat than “Capo Bloomy” wanted to admit.
Intifada. Intifada!!. NYC Intifada….“
The clock is ticking. Act NOW to protect our freedoms, our democracy, Stop the Islamization of America.
The threat of creeping Sharia is real. Islamization is real.
SIOA (Stop the Islamization of America) is leading the way. SIOE (Stop Islamisation of Europe) is doing the same .
Get involved. It’s NOW…or NEVER….

If the Land Mark Commission and Major Bloomberg continue to ignore the protests and rallies against the building of the Ground Zero Mosque then, sadly, the Cordoba Initiative will be given the green-light to break ground a year from now. On Sept 11, 2011 this symbol of conquest will rise from the ashes of 9-11 looking remarkably like the Twin Towers . This Swimming Pool, “Inter-Faith” Prayer Center now renamed Park 51, will become Da’wah Central at Ground Zero.
The Ground Zero Mosque is where Imam Abdul Rauf will then meet and pray and preach:
Taqiyya has opened doors for this bridge-building Imam to preach his ” peace and love” . Yet through his silence he has also condoned suicide bombing ( seems he raises no objections)
From Atlas Shrugs: Sunday, July 18, 2010 “ Ground Zero Mega Mosque Imam Rauf raised no objections to official calls for suicide bombing in America and Israel. The more we know about this stealth jihadist, the worse it gets. This mosque is an act of jihad. (snip)
What about the role of women?
At The American Society for Muslim Advancement (ASMA), an organization founded by Imam Rauf, under WOMEN IN ISLAM, “Gender equality is an intrinsic part of Islamic belief.” and “Islamic theology emphasizes social justice, and this includes justice in domestic affairs.” [ the entire page is worth reading] and concludes with “This is why granting political rights is the most effective way to redress legitimate women’s grievances. For as a nation becomes increasingly democratized, the ballot box becomes the means by which each constituent group in society attains its objectives.”
And Shariah vs Democracy?
From ASMA, “ The Prophet Muhammad implemented the rights of women, as laid out in the Quran, and worked to level the imbalance between men and women in his society by providing a living…”
What of all the women maimed and murdered in the name of Allah? The Christians, Jews and the apostates?!
Thankfully the SIOA (Stop Islamisation of America) campaign is now reaching out to those who may want to leave Islam. Their ads are appearing on taxis in Chicago and Dallas with more to follow.
The Coptic Christians warn everyone to protect your women; protect your daughters! Which makes watching this smugly confident video even more frightening since it reaches out to WOMEN CONVERTS in the West:
LISTEN to the dhimmi tourists in Jordan as they giggle while learning to put on a burqa .
