Robert Spencer is almost always great. But here, he is absolutely on fire.
August 12, 2010- The imam behind the controversial plans to build a mosque near the site of New York City’s Ground Zero is headed to the Middle East for a religious outreach trip sponsored by the U.S. State Department.
State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said the department is sending imam Feisal Abdul Rauf to Qatar, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates, where he will discuss Muslim life in America and promote religious tolerance.
“We have a long-term relationship with him,” Crowley told reporters. “His work on tolerance and religious diversity is well-known and he brings a moderate perspective to foreign audiences on what it’s like to be a practicing Muslim in the United States.”
…The imam has taken similar trips before. However, some Republicans in Congress feel the upcoming trip is “unacceptable.”
“This radical is a terrible choice to be one of the faces or our country overseas.” Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida and Peter King of New York said in a statement. “The United States should be using public diplomacy programs to combat extremism, not to endorse it."
