This audio, from Pamela Geller, Atlas Shrugs, lends tremendous insight into the real Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the man leading the charge to build a the mosque at Ground Zero.
The tape is from a public lecture at the Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre, July, 12, 2005.
Any questions?
And the liberal elitists are saying that those of us against Rauf and the mosque at Ground Zero are Islamophobes without reason to question Rauf's agenda?
Give me a break!
Listen to Rauf's extremism. He cites Michael Moore as a source!

America Has Blood On Its hands
IMAM FEISAL ABDUL RAUF: The complexity arises, sir, from the fact that from political problems and the history of the politics between the West and the Muslim world. We tend to forget, in the West, that the United States has more Muslim blood on its hands than al Qaida has on its hands of innocent non-Muslims.
You may remember that the US-led sanctions against Iraq led to the death of over half a million Iraqi children. This has been documented by the United Nations. And when Madeleine Albright, who has become a friend of mine over the last couple of years, when she was Secretary of State and was asked whether this was worth it, said it was worth it.
What complicates the discussion, intra-Islamically, is the fact that the West has not been cognizant and has not addressed the issues of its own contribution to much injustice in the Arab and Muslim world. It's a difficult subject to discuss with Western audiences but it is one that must be pointed out and must be raised.
How many of you have seen the documentary Fahrenheit 9/11? The vast majority, at least half here.
Suicide Bombers And Seventy-Two Virgins
QUESTION: I've heard what I'm sure is nothing other than a rumor, something along the lines of that Muslim men are told things like when you go to heaven there'll be a thousand virgins waiting for you. And that's why they're so...
I mean, I think it stems from the belief that there is something in the Koran or in the Muslim religion or culture that makes them more willing to go off and commit, you know, be suicide bombers or more willing to go off and fight in the Holy War.
I understood what you said about you thinking it was more driven by emotion than religion. I just wondered if there was anything at all. I certainly hear things like that and can't help but wonder if there is something about their religion or their culture that makes them more prepared to go off and die in the belief that they they will be closer to God or that, you know, it's such an amazing act that's maybe different for Christians or people of other religions.
RAUF: That's a very common question. In fact, just about two months ago I was interviewed by Barbara Walters, who is doing a special on heaven and she's interviewed suicide bombers who are expecting the embraces of 72 virgins in paradise, and she asked me, 'Do women get the same privilege as well?' And I answered her, telling her: 'Well, the Koran says you shall have whatever your heart desires.
Casts Doubt About The Madrid And London Terrorist Attacks
RAUF: In studies that have been made by poltical historians of terrorism, defined as militancy against non-combatants and civilians, the point has been made by political historians that terrorism has been done ever since the beginning of time practically, since the time of the Romans for sure. And they were designed to achieve very specific target political objectives. And when we observe terrorism, whether it was done by the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka or by al Qaida or whoever is behind the bombings in London or those in Madrid, we can see that they were target political objectives.

RAUF: [M]en, they're brutes, insensitive, etcetera, and you have the beginning of a gender conflict. If gender is not what distinguishes us we'll look at skin coloring and say, 'N-----s or whities, or whatever.' And we create an ethnic conflict.
