I'd say his conclusion says it best
quote:
Abdul Rauf uses stealth strategies that make it difficult to detect their Shariah driven agenda and while under the guise of interfaith dialogue and building bridges in what they say in English. In Arabic the statements are clear—the bridge is to build Shariah.
If you want to believe this Imam has nothing but peaceful intent by wanting to build his center, nothing I say can change your mind.
That's not even a quote from the Imam, that's just the author's opinion.
I don't think that anyone wants to turn the US into a Muslim theocracy or replace constitutional law with sharia law.
If anything, though, that fear should encourage people to keep religion and politics separate, as the founding fathers intended. Maybe when the first Muslim politician runs on a platform of "sharia values" a lot of people will finally wake up and see what they've done by using trying to inject their own religious values into the workings of the state.
If you don't want a religious theocracy, speak out against things like Prop 8 and "abstinence only education" and anyone questioning Obama's religion. That's where the danger is. That's your culture, acting just as fucktarded as some people in their culture.
It wasn't too long ago that our religious fundamentalists were bombing abortion clinics, gleefully murdering abortion doctors and any other staff that happened to be there. Religious terrorism at its finest. Theocracy in America won't come as a stealthy sharia takeover, it'll come in the bills crafted by the "religious right" in our own backyard.
No, that's NOT my culture, I don't believe in the invisible deity, believe homo's should be able to marry, could care less what Obama's spirituality is, or a woman's right to choose to murder their child.
MY culture believes that Americans have the freedom to speak out against prop 8, believe in God, or not, go to jail for bombing abortion clinics (and I can guarantee you my sentencing would be much harsher than your typical lefty) and parents have the right to choose what their kids are taught in school.
You have to admit that since the 60's progressive movement the U.S. has seen quite a dramatic rise in STD's, teen pregnancies, drug abuse, and violent crime, but there can't be any correlation, now can there?
