President Obama’s religious advisor may have ties to the controversial Imam who will head the mosque-Islamic community center near ground zero in NYC – that is, if it does get built.

Eboo Patel, who is Obama’s “religious advisor,” has ties to Imam Feisal Addul Rauf which include “discussing America as ‘the ideal place for a renewal of Islam,'” according to an article written by Aaron Klein of World Net Daily.

“Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the controversial Muslim leader behind the plan to build the Islamic center and mosque two blocks from Ground Zero, wrote the afterword to Patel’s 2006 book, “Building the Interfaith Youth Movement: Beyond Dialogue to Action.”

Obama named Patel, who is a Muslim, to an advisory council to promote partnerships between faith-based community groups and the government to dispsense social services.

Nancy Pelosi has called for an investigation into the opposition against building the the mosque/Islamic community center a few blocks from Ground Zero in NYC.

Talk about your conspiracy theorists!  Pelosi is in denial that the majority of Americans don’t want a Islamic center so close to the site that was attacked by radical Moslems on 9-11.  According to FoxNews.com:

“There is no question that there is a concerted effort to make this a political issue by some,” she said in remarks posted Tuesday in a video on the San Francisco Chronicle website. “And I join those who have called for looking into how is this opposition to the mosque being funded.”

My question to Ms. Pelosi and President Obama is:  Why is the building of this Islamic center at Ground Zero so important to you?

Even though Moslems have the right to practice their religion and build their mosques anywhere, just as any other religion in this country, it doesn’t make it right to build this Islamic center there!

I’ve heard the spin on this that we should all be “sensitive” to their feelings, but sensitivity is a two-way street.  This Moslem group may be moderate and peace-loving but their Islamic brothers who attacked the Twin Towers on 9-11 weren’t.  If this group really wants to build understanding between the religions, as they claim, they should be sensitive to the feelings of Americans who lost loved ones in the attacks and to the feelings of the majority of Americans who are against this.
