Ground Zero Mosque

There is much discussion about whether Imam Rauf and his co-sponsors of the GZM are sincere, moderate and well meaning muslims or sympathizers with the Islamists in Iran and elsewhere who want to bring down the West and establish a new caliphate here in the USA.  Here is evidence that every pro Rauf liberal should study and take to heart. While the Imam comes off as an urbane, sophisticated, nuanced promoter of world peace and harmony, a little digging like that done in this post suggests otherwise.  One is struck by the similarity between the communist and Islamist approach to politics and establishing their hegemony.  Both movements condone lying and deception as a legitimate means to the end of establishing their way of life and power.  In the Muslim tradition this is called al-Taqiyya.
