TOLD YA SO: Obama adviser says, “America is the ideal place for a renewal of Islam”
Barack Obama’s ‘Religious’ Advisor, Eboo Patel, is closely linked to the radical imam seeking to build the Ground Zero mosque.
Aaron Klein, WNDIslam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faiths, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.”-- Omar Ahmad, co-founder of CAIR
A religion adviser to President Obama has close ties to the imam who wants to build a 13-story Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero. The two have been documented together discussing America as “the ideal place for a renewal of Islam,” WND has learned.

In February, Obama named a Chicago Muslim, Eboo Patel, to his Advisory Council on Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships. Patel is the founder and executive director of Chicago-based Interfaith Youth Core, which says it promotes pluralism by teaming people of different faiths on service projects.
Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the controversial Muslim leader behind the plan to build the Islamic center and mosque two blocks from Ground Zero, wrote the afterword to Patel’s 2006 book, “Building the Interfaith Youth Movement: Beyond Dialogue to Action.”
Patel is listed as one of 15 “Muslim Leaders of Tomorrow” on the website for the American Society for the Advancement of Muslims, or ASAM, which is led by Rauf.
In Patel’s 2007 book, “Saving Each Other, Saving Ourselves,” he recounts discussing with Rauf the future of Islam in the U.S.
Rauf “understood the vision immediately and suggested that I visit him and his wife, Daisy Khan, at their home the following evening,” Patel recalled. Khan founded the ASAM with her husband and has aided him in his plans for the mosque near Ground Zero.
“The living room of their apartment on the Upper West Side was set up like a mosque, with prayer rugs stretched from wall to wall,” wrote Patel in his book.
Continued Patel: “I arrived at dusk, prayed the maghrib prayer with Daisy and Imam Feisal and then talked with them about how America, with its unique combination of religious devotion and religious diversity, was the ideal place for a renewal of Islam.”
“In the twentieth century, Catholicism and Judaism underwent profound transformations in America,” Rauf observed. “I think, this century, in America, Islam will do the same.”
Patel boasts of a “critical mass” of Muslims in the U.S.
“Islam is a religion that has always been revitalized by its migration,” he wrote. “America is a nation that has been constantly rejuvenated by immigrants. There is now a critical mass of Muslims in America.“ (And Obama is making sure to grant emigrant visas to as many Muslim immigrants as possible, more than ever before)
Patel last March wrote a Huffington Post piece referring to Obama’s former “green jobs” czar Van Jones as a “faith hero.”
“In my last post on Van, I called him an American patriot,” wrote Patel. “That is high praise in my book. But watching Van’s speech at the NAACP, I have another title for him, one that I reserve for the true giants of history. Van Jones is a faith hero.”
Jones resigned in September after it was exposed he founded a communist revolutionary organization and signed a statement that accused the Bush administration of possible involvement in the 9/11 attacks. Jones also called for “resistance” against the U.S.
Rauf, meanwhile, has caused a stir with his proposed $100 million, 13-story Islamic cultural center and mosque near the corner of Park Place and West Broadway.
Rauf sparked controversy earlier this month when he refused during a live radio interview to condemn violent jihad groups as terrorists. Rauf repeatedly refused on the air to affirm the U.S. designation of Hamas as a terrorist organization or call the Muslim Brotherhood extremists.
The Brotherhood openly seeks to spread Islam around the world, while Hamas is committed to Israel’s destruction and is responsible for scores of suicide bombings, shootings and rocket attacks aimed at Jewish civilian population centers.

When not complaining about ''Islamophobia', the Muslim community busies itself with racking up dead Christians. Two weeks ago, a young family was beaten to death by an Islamic mob in Pakistan. Last week, a Pentecostal pastor was gunned down in Russia. Christian children were hacked to death in Nigeria over the weekend. And, on Monday, two Christian brothers falsely accused of blasphemy were murdered while in handcuffs outside a courtroom (pictured). | ||||||||||||

I WILL NOT LAUGH WHEN THEY SAY THAT ISLAM MEANS PEACE
Bare Naked Islam is up to date, daily postings, with a huge following. The information is "solid" and BNI remarkable in applying the appropriate videos/photos/information - amazing blog and an awakening for Americans who have relied on main stream media for news... news that is merely propaganda for Obama's administration. Americans, time to shut off the TV and begin seeking news on Conservative web sites; it will open eyes and prepare individuals for this coming November's votes. (Below - Bare Naked Islam)
While slashing the budgets of our military, Obama is preparing his domestic “Army” to handle the aftermath of an increasingly probable likelihood of a nuclear attack which would kill hundreds of thousands of Americans.
Iran? Oh well, we’ll just have to live with a nuclear Iran because Obama doesn’t have the cojones or the desire to stop them. He’s too busy cutting our nuclear arsenal in half.
