Imam Rauf on Free Speech

There is nothing that strikes deeper at the heart of the American experiment than a test of our liberties -- the right to free speech, and the right of religious freedom.
Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is the Imam of Masjid Al-Farah, a mosque in New York City, twelve blocks from Ground Zero. He shares his thoughts on American Free Speech.

Although saying Mohammed was an illiterate child molesting desert bandit isn't technically libel as it's entirely true.

Thank you for exposing what a two-faced piece of shit this man is. He doesn't give two shits about "religious freedom". He's just another terrorist mouthpiece like CAIR.

Don't worry people, there are many liberals and libertarians who also view Islam with disdain. This shouldn't be a political issue, but and social issue. Free men and women fighting for their freedom.

5.68-69 Say O followers of the Book! you follow no good till you keep up the Taurat and the Injeel and that which is revealed to you from your Lord & surely that which has been revealed to you from your Lord shall make many of them increase in inordinacy & unbelief -grieve not therefore for the unbelieving people.Surely those who believe and those who are Jews and the Sabians and the Christians whoever believes in Allah and the last day and does good they shall have no fear nor shall they grieve

It was narrated that Aishah said: "The verse of stoning and of breast feeding an adult ten times was revealed, and the paper was with me under my pillow. When the Messenger of Allah died, we were preoccupied with his death, and a tame sheep came in and ate it." Sunan Ibn Maja 1944

Mohammed-"Learn the Qu'ran from Abdullah Ibn Masud" (Sahih al-Bukhari 6.61.521). According to Ibn Sa'd -"The people have been guilty of deceit in the reading of the Qur'an. I like it better to read according to the recitation of him [i.e. Mohammed] whom I love more than that of Zayd ibn Thabit" (Kitab al-Tabaqat al-Kabir, Vol 2, p444) "Oh you Muslim People! Avoid copying the Mushaf and recitation of Zayid bin Thabit. By Allah! When I accepted Islam, he was but in the loins of a disbelieving man!

@Ironhawk86 Ya and you know i planned to overthrow the gov. and recruit al qeada cus i was PLAYING PAINTBALL WITH MY FRIENDS in virginia.(that actually happened.)

Brainwashed......

What do you read and Watch? I was gonna say fox news. 

[Ironhawk86]

@muslimgiga You're right. i was wrong to refer to CAIR as a terrorist mouthpiece. I should have been more factual and said they are a money laundering fron for al-Qeada. Read a newspaper sometime.

[muslimgiga]

@Ironhawk86 it's perfectly relevant. connect the dots You obviously have NO basis in fact and reply on sensational media to provide you with information. Pretty fair to say since you think CAIR is a terrorist mouthpiece.

again.

Double standards for the win FTW!

[Ironhawk86]

@muslimgiga And that has WHAT to do with what I said exactly? I in no way support such a law and the fact you injected it into this "debate" shows you have nothing factual or relevant to say

[muslimgiga]

@Xaragma are you okay dude? Need to check a cognitive doctor or something cus your point is so awfully retarded that i laughed.
