NBC Honors Ground Zero Mosque Developer as a ‘Person of the Year’
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, November 23, 2010, 6:02 AM
Park 51 developer Sharif El-Gamal has a history of run-ins with the law.
NBC will honor the Ground Zero Mosque developer Sharif El-Gamal as one of its People of the Year on Thanksgiving night.
Pundit Press reported:
In an interview set to air on Thanksgiving Day, Matt Lauer sat down with El-Gamal and discussed the “Park 51 Project.” El-Gamal, who was apparently pleased to be named one of NBC’s people of the year, seemed very comfortable answering questions. The excerpt released so far shows that Mr. Lauer gave El-Gamal a decidedly softball interview. Here is a partial transcript of El-Gamal’s opening statements:
“There’s going to be a facility here that’s going to provide aquatics, uh, uh, uh, a gym, just like a Jewish community center or, or a YMCA. It’s going to provide, uh, much needed facilities to the residents of Lower Manhattan.”
Lauer responds that there is “one major exception” to El-Gamal’s statement, describing the 9/11 terrorist attacks. However, El-Gamal’s quickly responded:
“Not once have I held my faith accountable for the horrific events of 9/11. I am an American. I am an American who has a specific belief system, and my belief system, in order to be a Muslim you have to be a good Jew and a good Christian.”

“Islamophobia” Not Reflected in FBI Hate Crimes Statistics
[There were nine times more anti-Jewish hate crimes reported in 2009
than those against Muslims, new statistics released by the FBI show.]
I – S – L – A – M – O – P – H – O – B – I – A
[Jasser: I’ll first tell you what it is not- it’s not Islamophobia. If anyone is to blame for the existence of the concept of Islamophobia, if it even exists, it is Muslims who have been unable to articulate a manifestation of Islam which is free of a political state which threatens the sovereignty of the states in which Muslims reside. I don’t subscribe to the existence of the notion of Islamophobia because I believe that we are in just the beginning of a global conflict of political ideologies (Islamism vs. Americanism), and the conflation of “Islamophobia” is intentional by Islamists to deflect Americans and the free world from the necessary debate of political ideologies.]

Breaking The War Mentality
[In 1933 the German establishment thought it could use Hitler to restore a modicum of order to the confused and confusing Weimar Republic. In fact, Hitler did strengthen the German establishment, but not exactly in the way the bankers and businessmen had wanted; and now, fifty years later, it is clear who was using whom. Nevertheless, the Western World did not complain in 1933 because Hitler, though a fascist and a totalitarian, was seen, like countless American puppet dictators today, as someone who leaves the established order in place.
Not so the Greens. If a group of young, anti-establishment pacifists wiith unusual ideas and uncomfortable answers to hard questions terrifies us more today than Hitler, Himmler, Goering and Goebbels did back in 1933, our terror says more about us than it does about the Greens or the Germans. It indicates that we have failed to comprehend the meaning of Nazism and blind obedience to authority in their full horror, and that we, unlike the Greens, have yet ourselves to learn the democratic lesson that we have taught the Germans so well.]
yes, the man is so BRILLIANT, he is going to bring about the largest “bloodbath” that not only has American ever seen, the but entire world, in his attempts to transition US in to the New World Order, aka: his Caliphate Dreams from his father, aka: Freedoms worst nightmare.. /honestly not being sarcastic/

re: #15 (and umpteen other sources via the net)..
[Moving from theory to reality, Marxists see in Islamists a strange fulfillment of their prophesies. Marx forecast that business profits would collapse in industrial countries, prompting the bosses to squeeze workers; the proletariat would become impoverished, rebel, and establish a socialist order. But, instead, the proletariat of industrial countries became ever more affluent, and its revolutionary potential withered. For a century and a half, author Lee Harris notes, Marxists waited in vain for the crisis in capitalism. Then came the Islamists, starting with the Iranian Revolution and following with 9/11 and other assaults on the West. Finally, the Third World had begun its revolt against the West, fulfilling Marxist predictions—even if under the wrong banner and with faulty goals. Olivier Besançonneau, a French leftist, sees Islamists as "the new slaves" of capitalism and asks if it is not natural that "they should unite with the working class to destroy the capitalist system." At a time when the Communist movement is in "decay," note analyst Lorenzo Vidino and journalist Andrea Morigi, Italy's "New Red Brigades" actually acknowledge the "leading role of the reactionary clerics."
Fourth, power: Islamists and leftists can achieve more together than they can separately. In Great Britain, they jointly formed the Stop the War Coalition, whose steering committee includes representation from such organizations as the Communist party of Britain and the Muslim Association of Britain. Britain's Respect Party amalgamates radical international socialism with Islamist ideology.]

valerie commented:
Sharif El-Gamal is right, according to the best Muslim authorities.
Pope Benedict served up a fat one, and the appropriate Muslim scholars hit it out of the park. We should take El-Gamal at his word, and ask the follow-up question: what does he make of the Hamas Covenant?
The answer to that question will tell us, and his Islamist cheering section, where he really stands.
*********************
to recap:
38 leading Muslim religious scholars and leaders including Shaykh Ali Jumu‘ah (the Grand Mufti of Egypt), Shakyh Abdullah bin Bayyah (former Vice President of Mauritania, and leading religious scholar), and Shaykh Sa‘id Ramadan Al-Buti (from Syria), in addition to the Grand Muftis of Russia, Bosnia, Croatia, Kosovo, Slovenia, Istanbul, Uzbekistan, and Oman, as well as leading figures from the Shi‘a community such as Ayatollah Muhammad Ali Taskhiri of Iran; also HRH Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad bin Talal of Jordan Muslim scholars in the West such as Shaykh Hamza Yusuf from California, Professor Seyyed Hossein Nasr of George Washington University in Washington, D.C., and Professor Tim Winter of the University of Cambridge signed a letter to the Pope that said:
http://www.ammanmessage.com/media/openLetter/english.pdf (the original link to Islamica Magazine is gone)
…faith in the One God is not the property of any one religious community. According to Islamic belief, all the true prophets preached the same truth to different people at different times. The laws may be different, but the truth is unchanging.
They acknowledge the two great Commandments: ….”and the second commandment is like it: Thou shalt love they neighbour as thyself.” citing Mark 12:29-31 and Matthew 22:37-40
These are people who acknowledge that Jesus was quoting Jewish scripture at the time.
And they said that their prophet brought nothing new to the message from God, that the message from all three faiths is the same.
*************
It is a wonderful reply. And yet, after the publication of this remarkable reply, the pope’s remarks continued to be discussed without the reply, just like the question of Byzantine emperor Manuel II Paleologus. It makes me wonder whether the reply will survive to be recorded by our historians at all. The Pope was right. Once again, we have a society that has not yet proven capable of hearing the reply.
The reply is important, because it has a huge bearing on the meaning and intent of this mosque. We should put it to good use.
Too bad our uneducated, unscholarly President is unable to do so. Perhaps someone with a more capable intellect, such as Sarah Palin, will ask the question.
If you agree with the meaning and content of the Open Letter to Pope Benedict, what do you make of the Hamas Covenant? I call it blasphemy. The Hamas Covenant is a perversion of the writings of Islam that brings the reputation of both Allah and Islam into disrepute. That makes it blasphemy. Non-Muslims who take the Muslim Brotherhood at its written word, are absolutely right to call Islam a bloody, violent, unworthy religion.
With 1.5 billion Muslims in the world, and a well-funded advertising campaign that sells murder like car companies sell sex, there will be no peace until the Hamas Covenant is repudiated. The evils of the Hamas Covenant, while intended for Jews and other non-Muslims, are mostly visited upon Muslims, the most-frequent victims of its poison. This is most clearly seen in the bloody mess in the areas controlled by the Palistinians. Money has been pouring into that area, and the blood of palestinians has been pouring out, because the Hamas Covenant teaches blasphemy, namely hatred for one’s neighbor in clear violation of the second-greatest Commandment “love your neighbor.”

[I am an American Muslim dedicated to defeating the ideology that fuels global Islamist terror -- political Islam. And I don't see such a "center" actually fighting terrorism or being a very "positive" addition near Ground Zero, no matter how well intentioned.
To put it bluntly, Ground Zero is the one place in America where Muslims should think less about teaching Islam and "our good side" and more about being American and fulfilling our responsibilities to confront the ideology of our enemies.
Khan and Rauf avoid discourse on reform and political Islam. Instead, they simply give us the familiar, too vague condemnation of "extremism and violence." They seem to conveniently view 9/11, al Qaeda and every manifestation of militant Islamism as simply a public-relations problem for "Muslims in the West." Imam Rauf has even gone so far as to bizarrely say that the 9/11 terrorists were "not Muslims."]

American Muslim organization says President Obama is wrong
The President commented that:
“Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as everyone else in this country. And that includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in Lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances. This is America.”
Yes, Mr. President, this is America and you have fundamentally misunderstood the stakes in this discussion and the sentiments of the American people. Instead, you have focused on the very issue that the Islamist propagandists wish you to– the narrative that Americans somehow need lectures about Islam, Muslims, and religious freedom.
Your message to Americans will be spun on Al Jazeera and by Islamists across the world that President Obama reassured a friendly global Muslim audience at the White House Ramadan dinner that he was going to remind Americans about the principles of religious freedom for Muslims since they seem to be trampling over those principles in the local dispute at Ground Zero in New York.
Mr. President this is not about religious freedom. It is about the importance of the World Trade Center site to the psyche of the American People. It is about a blatant attack on our sovereignty by people whose ideology ultimately demands the elimination of our way of life. While Imam Faisal Rauf may not share their violent tendencies he does seem to share a belief that Islamic structures are a political statement and even Ground Zero should be looked upon through the lens of political Islam and not a solely American one.
As a Muslim desperate to reform his faith, your remarks take us backwards from the day that my faith will come into modernity. I do not stand to eliminate Imam Rauf’s religious freedom; I stand to make sure that my children’s religious freedom will be determined by the liberty guaranteed in the American Constitution and not by clerics or leaders who are apologists for shar’iah law and will tell me what religious freedom is.
‘Park 51′, ‘The Cordoba House’ or whatever they are calling it today should not be built, not because it is not their right to do it – but because it is not right to do it.” Mr. President, your involvement in this issue is divisive not uniting. Your follow-up stating that ‘you will not speak to the wisdom of the construction of that mosque and center’ indicates a passive-aggressive meddling on your part that only marginalizes those Muslim and non-Muslim voices against it while pretending to understand both sides of the debate.]

The Mainstream Media: Islamist Facilitators
By M. Zuhdi Jasser
April 20, 2007
[I have previously discussed the harm of our government's enabling of Islamists (like CAIR, MPAC, MAS, MSA, or ISNA) in the United States and how the governmental endorsement of Islamists publicly empowers them and allows them to dodge their responsibility of countering Islamism as an ideology. This order of magnitude is greater in impact when it concerns the media's inability to wage the debate of the "struggle for the soul of Islam". Stories about Islam and Muslims have been more and more ubiquitous since 9-11 and now are actually commonplace. Yet, the actual debate within the Muslim community has barely begun. Where's the disconnect? Look no further than the Islamist enablers in the media.
When so many ask across the nation, "where are the moderate voices of Islam?", one cannot help lately but exclaim that they are being suffocated by misguided political correctness and by Islamist influence within mainstream media and government. The PBS censorship of the documentary, Islam vs. Islamists, highlights one of the best examples to date of the symbiosis of both government complicity and media complicity with the Islamist ideology.]
Accommodation as an Islamist Political Instrument
By M. Zuhdi Jasser
July 27, 2007
[The Establishment Clause of our Constitution and the pluralism upon which our nation is based carries with it principles which should always be remembered. Our freedom to practice our personal faith should never be denied. And the courts have repeatedly endorsed this as a right guaranteed by our First Amendment rights to free speech and religious practice.
However, once that right begins to impose a cost, whether financial or experiential, upon another citizen, that right ends. For with that cost, it becomes an imposition—a coercive force. A political force—in this case, Islamism.
[..]
Islamist organizations, like CAIR who never met a demand from rigid Muslims they didn’t like, will continue to demand ‘logistical requirements of faith’ all the while intimidating non-Muslims into allowing them to control public spaces and times. Whether cabbies in Minnesota, children at San Diego schools, or women at Michigan fitness clubs, the Islamist agenda is transparent. It’s all about accommodation with no sense of moderation. Necessary for the validity of these demands of accommodation is a deeply rigid uncompromising interpretation of Islam salafism and Wahhabism. Flexibility and moderation would make these demands generally disappear.]

Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf
[Rauf said in 2003 "And we believe that 100 years more of targeted assassinations will never dry up the reservoir of young Palestinians willing to give up their lives." He then stated in 2004 that the U.S. and the West "must acknowledge the harm they have done to Muslims before terrorism can end" and that it was Christians who started mass attacks on civilians. He also said there was an endless supply of angry young Muslims ready to martyr themselves and there was no sign of the attacks ending unless there was a fundamental change in the world. Well, that doesn't seem too peaceful to me. In fact, it's the typical talk of an Islamist.
Oh - but there's more. Feisal started the Shariah Index that will rate countries’ Islamic law. He has written of his fondness for Islamic law and claimed he needs no one's permission to build the mosque in the video linked above.
He said to PBS; "So any law, anything studied in the Quran or the hadith, is definitely [Sharia],’ and “what really defines Islamic law [is] the sum total of Islamic law as has been practiced by Muslims throughout the last 14, 15 centuries.” In another PBS interview he shilled again for Sharia by claiming people often think of few penalties for certain crimes (z: those that are gruesome) and fail to consider the sum total of Islamic law. Not too comforting.
Critics claim Feisal’s father, Dr. Muhammad Abdul Rauf, was a leader in the Islamic supremacist Muslim Brotherhood. Dr. Rauf was born in Egypt and moved to Kuwait where Imam Feisal was born and then he came to America where he was involved in the building of the Islamic Cultural Center on the Upper East Side, according to a 1984 New York Times article which reported “plans for the center were first announced in the mid-1960′s after organization efforts by Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Libya.” Imam Feisal, his son, is a permanent trustee of the Center.
On a 60 Minutes program which aired on 9/30/2001, shortly after the 9/11 attacks, Imam Feisal said “I wouldn’t say that the United States deserved what happened,” — “but United States policies were an accessory to the crime that happened.” Rauf further stated, “because we [Americans] have been accessory to a lot of innocent lives dying in the world,” it could be said that “[i]n fact, in the most direct sense, Osama bin Laden is made in the USA.”[.]
In October 2001, Rauf praised Sheik Yusef Qaradawi as “probably the most well-known legal authority in the whole Muslim world today.” One major problem here, he is the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood and is banned from the U.S. for his fatwas approving of martyrdom against Israel!]

Valerie, what do “the best Muslim authorities” say about the human right to choose one’s own belief system, including the right to leave Islam if you were born to Muslim parents, and the right to criticize Islam in the presence of Muslims?
Whether the Hamas Covenant “brings Islam into disrepute” is an idle obsession when so many actions by so many Muslims who aren’t part of Hamas convey the message that Islam is hateful. A few pleasant words for infidel ears about kindness and ecumenism do not outweigh the violent history of Islamic conquest, or the very harsh teachings that are abundant in Islamic texts.
A long line of scholars and statesmen over the centuries have commented on the unusually destructive character of Islam in comparison with every other known religion — long before there was such a thing as Hamas.
Some people say the Saudi regime is perverting Islam. Some say the Iranian mullahcracy is perverting Islam. So where exactly is the nice, tolerant Islam that’s so often made to look bad?

re: [Or is this man turning being a Jew or

close, but not quite there yet..
please read this, may help, may not, but it’s evidently their new, albeit twisted, philosophy in a nuts hell, also gives me the distinct impression that it’s their way of externally reforming Islam w/out having to make any internal reformations so to speak..
[The West has been looking for an Islam that protects the territorial nation-state and prevents the establishment of the United Islamic State. But this would be an artificial, cloned form of Islam. This will be the ultimate victory of the West when it reaches an Islamic formula it can support because it is based on preventing any attempt to establish the United Islamic State and, at the same time, has an Islamic title that renders it more popular than the current ruling regimes. This Islamic title shall provide it with popular support that will reinforce its position in office. Then the Islamist shall be the protector of the territorial nation-state after he has given up the dream of Islamic unity.
The United Islamic State is not only a dream, but a symbol of the political unity of the Ummah. It is the first step to its renaissance, because the strength of this Ummah lies in its unity, through which it can rise up. Thus, dispensing with the objective of the unity of the Ummah means giving up the goal of the renaissance, and in its place the creation of the new Islamist who protects the Western project in the region, prevents the establishment of the United Islamic State, and turns the Islamic project into a territorial national one based on nationalism and partisanship like the new Palestinian who is being prepared to protect the security of the Israeli occupation.
What is Islam without an Islamic State? What is the Islamic project without an Islamic Caliphate? This is the issue and the essence of the conflict with the dominant Western civilization. The West will end up victorious if the Islamic project is besieged from within by territorial nationalism. The only way for the Islamic project to win this battle is to go out of the siege of territorial nationalism and declare the dream of its Ummah to restore the United Islamic State.]

Sharif El-Gamal may not hold his religion accountable for the horiffic terrorist attacks on 9/11…but then again, naming him a “Person of the Year” isn’t really about faith, is it? Just more political correctness and blatant disregard for the views and desires of the majority of Americans. Yes, there are still some of us American-born and raised folks whose ancestors helped make this land the greatest nation on earth. If you want to give a “Person of the Year” award, why not give it to someone who has actually helped to make a real difference, like the persons who sacrificed their loved ones in wars which have kept this land one in which Mr. Sharif El-Gamal is welcomed to live, but not force his “religion” down our throats. Whether he wishes to acknowledge it or not, the Muslim religion is, historically and currently, a violent one. (Notice I said the religion, and not all Muslims, in general) Does he wish us to disregard the stonings, beheadings, and other forms of murder perpertrated on their own women as non-violent? If Mr. El-Gamal wasn’t trying to make a “statement”, he would certainly have been sensitive enough to find an alternate building site. This is nothing more than a slap in the face to everyone who lost a loved one on 9/11, and to America in general. I’m ashamed of NBC, and one day in the not too distant future, NBC will be ashamed of itself!

I will no longer watch NBC for such a bad choice.
