Dancing on Our Graves: Feisal Abdul Rauf

Rauf Dancing On Our Graves
Funny how conservatives see things so differently from liberals.  The former see the Ground Zero Mosque as grossly insensitive, a painful reminder of who killed those 3,000 souls on September 11, 2001.  Yes, Islam killed them.  Not radical Islam, as if that were some unnatural variant of this ideology, just Islam.  Feisal Abdul Rauf, the New York Muslim who is heading the project, blames America and the west for Muslim atrocities throughout the world.  Yes, they may be bloody, violent and hateful, but we made them do it.  Right.

The liberals, on the other hand, see the Ground Zero Mosque as some kind of spiritual outreach, an attempt by Rauf to heal the wounds and build bridges of tolerance and understanding.  They almost tear up when describing Rauf as this sensitive, spiritual soul.  There is definitely something strange about liberals.  They seem to be walking zombies with Stockholm Syndrome.

For a different take, see what "Discover the Networks" says about Feisal Abdul Rauf.

Here's what I think of him, as expressed in this Photoshop.
