Will
America Wake Up In Time? Obama's Religion Adviser
Sees U.S. As 'Ideal Place' For Holy Revival Of
Islam, Closely
Linked To Imam Seeking To Build Ground Zero
Mosque
A religion adviser
to President
Obama has close ties to the imam who wants to
build a 13-story Islamic cultural
center near Ground Zero. The two have been
documented together discussing America
as "the ideal place for a renewal of
Islam," WND has learned. In February,
Obama named a Chicago Muslim, Eboo Patel, to
his Advisory Council on Faith-based and
Neighborhood Partnerships. Patel is the
founder and executive director of
Chicago-based Interfaith Youth Core, which
says it promotes pluralism by teaming people
of different faiths on service projects. 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." Patel is
listed as one of 15 "Muslim Leaders of
Tomorrow" on the website for the American
Society for the Advancement of Muslims, or
ASAM, which is led by Rauf. In Patel's 2007
book, "Saving Each Other, Saving
Ourselves," he recounts discussing with
Rauf the future of Islam in the U.S.
