Look what's crawling out from under the Rauf. Without his Albright résumé and subdued dhimmedia running interference, He's just another rat in a suit

Look what's crawling out from under the Rauf. Without his Albright résumé and subdued dhimmedia running interference, it is plain as day that this hustler, the renowned "moderate" Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf of the Park 51 Ground Zero mega-mosque initiative, is a lowlife. He has been exposed as a rat and vermin slumlord whose tenants live without basic services like hot water. He scammed New Jersey politicians and got taxpayer dollars for rehabilitation of his infested, dilapidated buildings in Union City and Palisades Park, but still his victimized tenants live in squalor. So where's the money?

The New Jersey Record reported that Rauf was sued for mortgage fraud in 2008 and settled the suit in June of that year. The suit reveals that Rauf owns two apartment buildings, one of which has been vacant since a fire broke out there -- a year after Rauf ignored citations for twelve different fire code violations.

That's not all. It has also recently come to light that Rauf and his wife, Daisy "the Con" Khan, listed their apartment as a mosque in order to conduct what amounts to tax fraud. Rauf was able to obtain tax-exempt status for his Muslim organization by deceiving the Internal Revenue Service: he told them that five hundred Muslims met regularly for worship at a "mosque" that was actually a tiny one-bedroom apartment (also listed as Daisy's residence). Rauf sought "church status" -- an official IRS term for a house of worship of any religion (though stealth Rauf, I am sure, is working the feds to change that term) -- for his organization, the American Society for Muslim Advancement (ASMA), and the clueless feds granted the request.

Gaining "church status" means much more than just that your organization doesn't have to pay taxes. It also means that you have very little accountability about how you spend your money.

Is New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg still kissing the backside of this "bridge-builder"?

And that's not all that's unsavory about the money that's pouring into the building of the mega-mosque and the people connected with this scheme. Rauf's thug developer in the project to build an Islamic supremacist mega-mosque on Ground Zero, Sharif El-Gamal, has a rap sheet a mile long. He recently wrote that "when you beat up someone physically you get exercise & stress relief," and it seems clear that he spoke from experience. And his financier, Hisham Elzanaty, was a large funder of Hamas (exposed in the Holy Land Foundation jihad terror funding trial) while defrauding Medicare out of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Tell me again: where is this thug getting 125 million dollars? El-Gamal is now being evicted for non-payment of rent for his SoHo office.

This year’s 9/11 anniversary in New York brought opponents and supporters of the controversial “ground zero mosque” to the streets by the thousands. That fact has spawned a new controversy, as the American people yet again were served a false narrative by the dominant liberal establishment mass media. Exhibit A: in the “media reality distortion case #2478697,” is the photo scene below. This photo shows the 9/11 Remebrance/Stop the Ground Zero Mosque Rally hosted by Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer. According to the New York Times, that is a crowd of 2,000 persons. According to the New York Daily News, the crowd below contained “hundreds” despite the fact that it stretched jam packed as seen below for three city blocks. Local NYC News Channel 10 reported live that there were 30,000 people at this rally. Channel 10 should be applauded for doing their job and the rest of the media stands exposed. But wait! The distortion goes much deeper than just downplaying by a factor of 10 or 20 the size of the Stop the Ground Zero Mosque Rally.

CNN fretting: 'Right-wing' backlash against Muslims Claims 'some already reaching conclusions' on Fort Hood shooter's

TEL AVIV – A column on a "right wing" website suggesting an Islamic motivation for last week's Fort Hood shooting massacre may help generate a backlash against American Muslim soldiers, according to CNN.

On CNN's American Morning show yesterday, reporter Carol Costello quoted the mother of a Muslim U.S. soldier as fearing "a backlash against Muslim American soldiers."

"She knows some are already reaching conclusions as to why Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan allegedly opened fire on his fellow soldiers," Costello stated.

Continued Costello: "The right-wing website, Pajamas Media, is an example. Phyllis Chesler writing, 'I knew in my bones that the shooter or shooters were Muslim. We must connect the dots before it's too late.'"



Costello was referring to a Pajamas Media column entitled "The Jihadist is always the victim," in which Chesler quoted from widespread reports of Hasan's ties to militant Islam.

Chesler wrote, "The only answer most people want to hear is that a lone, psychiatrically deranged shooter did it. All by himself, on his own."

"They may be right. Sometimes. And yet … the same Instant Personal Jihad Syndrome once led another Palestinian, Sirhan Sirhan, to shoot Robert Kennedy in cold blood."

Get "Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America," autographed, from WND's Superstore.

Newsbusters notes Chesler herself does not exactly fit with CNN's grouping of "right wing."

Chesler, professor emerita of psychology and women's studies at the College of Staten Island, has been a noted feminist activist who co-founded the National Women's Health Network and the Association for Women in Psychology. She is the author of thirteen books, including "Women and Madness," "Woman's Inhumanity to Woman" and "The Death of Feminism."

In a 1998 interview with Time magazine about feminism, Chesler stated that "a woman’s body is her own, and she should not be invaded against her will by a rapist, nor should she be prevented from having an abortion."

"Clearly, Chesler is no huge 'right-winger,' as Costello would have one believe," noted Newsbusters.

Chesler is a prominent critic of Islamic extremism and is a supporter of Israel.

In her 2003 book, "The New Anti-Semitism," Chesler argues that anti-Zionism and attacks against Israel are nearly indistinguishable from anti-Semitism.

A website run by Revolution Muslim honored Hasan, the man accused of killing 13 people at Fort Hood in Texas, as an "officer and a gentleman," saying his actions should not be denounced.

The massacre, which also left more than two dozen injured, was called a "pre-emptive attack" by supporters of the group.

Hasan, a Muslim psychiatrist who reportedly had been disciplined for pushing Islam on his patients at one point in his career, had given away his furniture and handed out Qurans before allegedly going to the military post and firing on soldiers at a processing center where soldiers prepared to deploy.

"Get Well Soon Major Nidal We Love You," said the website run by radicals who follow an imam once jailed in Britain. "Major Nidal Hasan M.D. An officer and a gentleman was injured while partaking in a pre-emptive attack."

Tea Party Spoils the Party for GOP Establishment Candidates - We The People Will Be Heard

ABC News' Amy Walter reports: The last major primary contests of 2010 went out with a bang. In Delaware and New York "outsider" candidates defeated those supported by the Republican establishment. In New Hampshire, Republican Attorney General Kelly Ayotte, who has the unique distinction of being supported by both Sarah Palin and national Republicans, is in a neck-and-neck fight with Tea Party favorite Ovide Lamontagne.

What does all of this mean for November?

1) In Delaware, while Tea Party activists are celebrating O’Donnell’s victory, it’s Democrats who are the most thankful. By beating the popular -– and more electable GOP Rep. Mike Castle –- O’Donnell is now a decided underdog against the Democrat, New Castle County Executive Chris Coons. Moreover, it makes the odds of a Republican take-over of the Senate a whole lot longer. Delaware was supposed to be a "gimmie" for the GOP. Most handicappers (us included) had Delaware listed as Leaning Republican. Tonight, Stu Rothenberg moved the race to Lean Dem. We expect that others will soon follow. The NRSC is not expected to fund O’Donnell this fall.

2) Attorney General Kelly Ayotte has long been considered the strongest candidate for Republicans in the New Hampshire Senate race. A WMUR-TV Granite State Poll taken in July showed her beating Democratic Rep. Paul Hodes by 8 points, while Tea Party favorite Ovide Lamontagne trailed Hodes by 6 points.

Even so, Ayotte’s had a rough summer and may not be as well-positioned as she was in July. She’s had a spate of bad press and both Hodes and one of her primary opponents, Bill Binnie, launched negative attacks on her. For his part, Lamontagne ran as the "happy warrior" and stayed out of the fray. Still, Lamontagne had just $109,000 in his campaign bank account compared to more than $1.2 million for Hodes.

3) While it is indeed a "surprise" for Castle to have lost -– given all the advantages he had in this race –- it really shouldn’t have been. After all, Castle embodies all the things that a candidate doesn’t want to be in this environment: he's been on the ballot in Delaware since 1980, he's no spring chicken (he's 70) and he’s a moderate running in a Republican primary.

4) Being Prepared Doesn't Always Matter: In the wake of Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s surprising loss in Alaska, Republicans were quick to point out that she didn’t take their advice to go negative on her opponent, Joe Miller. Castle, however, heeded that advice and attacked O'Donnell relentlessly. The local papers ran plenty of stories about O’Donnell that cast her in an unflattering light. And, he even got help from the Delaware Republican Party in attacking O’Donnell as a fringe candidate with a checkered past. None of it mattered.

This should be a sobering sign to national Democrats who are counting on a similar strategy to beat many of these Tea Party candidates this fall. To be sure, comparing a Republican primary electorate to a general election electorate is apples and oranges. Even so, it’s abundantly clear that these are not “typical” times. Frustration and anger with the status quo is so intense that what might give voters pause a couple years ago, might not matter as much this year.

5) Given Democratic New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo’s huge warchest and big lead in the polls, the conventional wisdom has long held that regardless of who he faced this fall, he was the odds-on-favorite. However, it’s worth taking Carl Paladino, who defeated Rick Lazio in the Republican primary, seriously. Yes, he has lots of personal baggage. But, he’s also got lots of money (Lazio didn’t) and a "mad as hell" message that's obviously got some appeal in a state where political corruption and incompetence runs rampant.
