Ground Zero Mosque: The Real Issue
By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN

The proposed mosque near to ground zero is not
really a religious institution. It would be -- as many mosques
throughout the nation are -- a terrorist recruitment, indoctrination
and training center. It is not the worship of Islam that is the
problem. It is the efforts to advance Sharia Law with its
requirement of Jihad and violence that is the nub of the issue.
There is a global effort to advance Sharia Law and make it the legal
system of the world. Most major banks and financial institutions
offer Sharia Compliant Funds which have their investments vetted by
the most fundamentalist and reactionary of clerics to assure that
they advance Sharia Law. Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the founder of the
proposed Mosque, helps to prepare a Sharia Index which rates
countries on their degree of compliance with Sharia Law. In the
United Kingdom, many courts have recognized Sharia as the governing
law on matters between two Muslims.
Not only is Sharia Law a vicious anti-female code which orders death by
stoning, promotes child marriage, decriminalizes abuse of
women, and gives wives no rights in divorce, but it also
explicitly recognizes the duty of all Muslims to wage Jihad
against non-believers and promotes violence to achieve its
goals. In this respect, violent Jihad is as inherent in
Sharia Law as revolution is in Communist doctrine.
But there are non-Sharia mosques where peaceful and
spiritual Muslims worship God in their own way without
promoting violence. A soon-to-be published study funded by
Frank Gaffney's Center for Security Policy, found that 20%
of the mosques in the United States have no taint of Sharia
and simply promote peaceful worship. But 80% are filled with
violent literature, Sharia teachings, and promotion of Jihad
and its inevitable concomitant -- terrorism.
Which brings us to the ground zero mosque. There
can be no doubt that any mosque organized and run by Imam Feisal
Abdul Rauf will be based on Sharia Law and will serve as local
branch office of the pan-Islamic terrorist offensive against the
west. That such a facility should be located right next to the place
where Jihad achieved its most hideous triumph is unspeakably
inappropriate.
President Obama is confusing the issue when he describes it as one
of religious freedom. There is broad latitude to worship God as one
chooses. But there is none to promote violence and terrorism. The
record of involvement of Sharia mosques with the 9-11 attackers and
the Ft. Hood massacre shooter is so deep and extensive that it
vividly underscores the difference between a religious institution
and an organization that promotes terrorism.
Politically, President Obama's defense of the mosque and his efforts
to make it a First Amendment issue are incredibly self-destructive.
They raise questions about his political sanity. It is hard to
believe how tone deaf he must have become to take such a position.
He has now embraced two positions that are anathema to two-thirds of
all Americans -- the mosque and opposition to Arizona's immigration
law. Neither was a controversy that sought him out. He waded into
each one voluntarily with flags flying. He had no role in the
Arizona law but his lawsuit to invalidate it made it his fight. He
does not sit on the New York City Planning Commission, but his
endorsement of the mosque puts him squarely in the center of
controversy. What is he using for brains these days?
To continue the efforts to battle Sharia Law and the attempts of
radical Muslims to use it to destroy our values and the gains of
feminism, please follow the work funded by the Center for Security
Policy and conducted by David Yerushalmi. To help to fund their
