WEBTODAY EXCLUSIVE (August 24, 2010)-- QUESTION: Who really
was speaking on that historic day of June 4th 2009 in Cairo,
Egypt? President Obama or the Imam of the proposed Ground Zero
Mosque, Feisal Abdul Rauf?
ANSWER: Feisal Abdul Rauf!
Link
to audio of Rauf's admission
The Shoebat Foundation obtained this shocking audio recording
of Rauf's own voice boasting in Arabic that Obama’s historic
Cairo speech was provided by the Imam and the Cordova
Initiative in what the Imam called “The Blue Print” which he
said was the solution to the Islamic-American divide. Rauf
claimed Chapter 6 of the Imam’s work engineered by the Cordova
Initiative was the construct for the entire speech:
“This is an example of the impact of our work in a positive
way to be used by the President.”
"The blue print," Rauf elaborated, included everything from
U.S. policy to Jewish and Christian relations with Muslims.
For an Imam in New York to be involved in the orchestrating
U.S. foreign policy is quite the claim. In the recording dated
February 5th, 2010 Rauf boasted that:
“We have to look at it [as] how to engineer solutions. At the
Cordova Initiative we think of ourselves as an engineering
shop. Yes. We have an analytical approach. Our work has been
that. IN THE BOOK CHAPTER 6, I WROTE ABOUT THIS BLUE PRINT as
to WHAT HAS TO BE DONE BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT, what has to be
done by the Jewish community, what has to be done by the
Christian community, what has to be done by the Muslim
community, what has to be done by educators, what has to be
done by the media. For example, IN MY BOOK IN THE ARABIC
VERSION page 293, what did I write? WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT
THE UNITED STATES NEEDS TO DO. IF YOU EXAMINE THIS CHAPTER YOU
WILL FIND THAT THE OBAMA SPEECH IN CAIRO WAS ALL TAKEN FROM
THIS SECTION [Section 6]. When you do a job that is very
complicated. You ask yourself, what have you accomplished. All
these problems can be solved but requires the will to solve
it. It requires political will, resources and the right focus.
The signs of how to go to the moon was known 200 years ago,
but the political will and financial will for it happened
during 1960-1961. When John Kennedy said that we will send an
American to the moon before the end of the 60’s, he
established the financial resources and the political will.”
The story was even collaborated in a written article in an
interview with Hani Al-Waziri of Egypt. The clue was revealed
while Rauf was answering a question regarding President Barack
Obama’s speech in which Rauf replied:
“The speech was wonderful and wise in his choice of words, the
Prime Minister of Malaysia after the speech disclosed to me
that it is now easy for any president of a Muslim country to
establish good relations with America, and I AM NOT GOING TO
HIDE FROM YOU THAT ONE OF THOSE WHO PARTICIPATED IN WRITING
THE SPEECH, TRANSFERRED ENTIRE PARTS OF MY BOOK ‘A NEW VISION
FOR MUSLIMS AND THE WEST’, which he referred to U.S. interests
being compatible with top interests of the Muslim world”.
Rauf did not disclose the name of this speechwriter that
included Rauf’s work in president Obama’s historic address to
the Muslim world. It is crucial to note that the Arabic
version of Feisal Abdul Rauf’s book was published in Malaysia
titled “A CALL TO PRAYER, FROM THE WORLD TRADE CENTER RUBBLE:
ISLAMIC DAWA (SUMMONS TO ISLAM) IN THE HEART OF AMERICA
POST-9/11."
The interview with Hani Alwaziri dated February 7th, 2010
intended to discuss Rauf’s plans for what he terms “American
Style Islam” and the Cordova Initiative goals for the U.S.
Rauf later stated that his goal was “To establish an American
style Islam in the United States” in which he explains his
aspiration of spreading Islam in America by using flexibility
and molding Islam to become palatable to the American culture
while preserving the integrity of Islamic ideology:
“If we look how Islam was spread from Hijaz (Arabia) to
Morocco then Turkey, we note that Islam was shaped by the
culture and society, hence showing a Muslim version of the
architecture and culture and the arts, but with preservation
of the framework of belief and worship. We need to provide a
GLOBAL ISLAM in accordance with the nature of each society.”
Rauf boasted about his towering structure by Ground Zero as:
“an icon that will make Muslims proud, not only locally but
globally.”
His suggestion to Muslims on how to deal with western
Christians and Jews was:
“deal with them as one courts a pretty girl he wants to date;
stop thinking like a typical Muslim.
Then you can engage.”
He also discussed how he courted Bloomberg and the Jewish
Community boards that “we have inroads with the Jewish
Community Center”. It is interesting that Rauf stated in
Arabic to Hadielislam, another prominent Muslim think tank
that:
“people need to use peaceful means to advise the governors and
government institutions…we also suggest to the governors and
political institutions to CONSULT [MUSLIM] RELIGIOUS
INSTITUTIONS AND [MUSLIM] PERSONALITIES IN THE FIELD SO AS TO
ASSURE THEIR DECISION MAKING TO REFLECT THE SPIRIT OF
SHARIAH.”
In previous reports researched by the Walid Shoebat
Foundation, it was revealed that Imam Rauf has made statements
in the Arabic language - while appearing on Arabic media
outlets - that completely contradict his moderate tone when
speaking English, exposing him as a direct supporter of
terrorism, both financially and verbally.
Walid Shoebat a former terrorist now an advocate for the U.S.
and exposes Jihadist political agenda is conducting interviews
on various news media outlets to expose this outrage.
