Tapes Reveal Moderate, Bridge-building GZ Imam Not So Moderate

Momentum was already running out of steam for the Cordoba bunch, but these tapes, if they’re everything they’re cracked up to be, should stop this juggermosque cold:

Altas Shrugs reports:

Steve Emerson has unearthed 13 hours of audio tape of Imam Rauf. Emerson and his team of investigators has spent the past four weeks going through the newly found material. Rauf  is a “radical extremist cleric who cloaks himself in sheep’s clothing.”

Among the shocking revelations Emerson’s team will reveal next week — they found Rauf:

Defending wahhabism – a puritanical version of Islam that governs Saudi Arabia

Calling for the elimination of Israel by claiming a one-nation state, meaning no more Jewish State.

Defending Bin Laden’s violence

Demonstrating that there is a lot more to this man than merely a cleric.

The American public now sees the “deception perpetrated by all these Islamic groups that claim they are against violence and terrorism and insist that their rights be respected but in reality are fronts for the Muslim Brotherhood.”

Emerson states there is “definitely fraud involved in the entities that Rauf created in the last decade that are co-mingled.” Emerson took it to the IRS, who said, “you have a case.”

There is intel that the shady developers, the Gamal brothers, will be going to radical Islamic organizations to serve as connectors — CAIR,  MPAC — so that they do their bidding for the money.

The ground zero mosque organizers aren’t the only ones who will be taking a hit on this. Their simpering supporters, namely the President, most Dems, and the MSM are going to have to answer for it, too. Was it so important for them to oppose conservatives, that they would have allowed the travesty of a terror-supporting mosque to have been  built on top of the graveyard of 3000 Americans? Why is it that 65%-70% of Americans, (including the new Muslim Miss America) have more sense than these idiots?

Ace says it’s going to cost them:

Remember: You — Obama and the MFM — went out a limb to vouch for this guy, putting the whole of your credibility and judgment behind the proposition that he is a well-meaning, peaceful moderate and you’d have to be crazy to think otherwise.

Well. Well. Let’s check the tapes.

We know the first, second, and last defense that will be screamed by the left: B-b-but Bush said he was moderate….!

Yeah? And? Bush didn’t stake his political future on the man’s purported “moderation,” either.

Bush made a big show of reaching out to moderate Muslims after 9/11, a noble and worthy effort. Unfortunately, he was fooled by a few of them, including, apparently,  Rauf.
