Should Go Great <http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/> Josh Marshall | August 17, 2010, 1:11PM <http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/2010/08/should_go_great.php> http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/assets_c/2010/08/rauf_hughes_split-cropped- proto-custom_6.jpg If you have a taste for black comedy, here's some good stuff. Since the early Bush administration the US State Department has been sending American Imams to Muslim-majority countries around the world to talk about religious pluralism and the glories of practicing Islam in America. Twice the Bush administration sent <http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/08/ground_zero_mosque_imam_b ush_partner_for_peace.php> none other than New York Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the man behind the Cordoba House project, on one of these trips. And now, as I write, he's on a third trip to the region (specifically Saudi Arabia and a series of Gulf emirates) to tell audiences what it's like to practice Islam under our regime of religious freedom and equality. That must be going great, right? I can just imagine the fun moments with Rauf dispelling the myths of his benighted Saudi listeners about the place of Muslims in the West. Of course, if you think that Rauf is back there in the Islamic hood to give the locals an update on his work to place America under the rule of Sharia Law, then the comedy may have a different context.
