New imam quits embattled Islamic community centerBy Allan Chernoff, CNN A Park51 imam announced his resignation Friday, just three weeks after being appointed to his post at the embattled Islamic community center in New York, according to a written statement Friday. "I wish the project leaders well," said Imam Adhami, saying he needed more time to complete a book meant to assist English readers in understanding the Quran. His resignation comes on the heels of a controversial post on his website, sakeenah.org, in which he claimed that "an enormously overwhelming percentage of people struggle with homosexual feeling because of some form of violent emotional or sexual abuse at some point in their life." Park51 officials later attempted to distance the community center from Adhami's comments, tweeting that "Adhami's personal statements do not reflect the position of p51." The community center - located two blocks from the ground zero location in Manhattan - describes itself as an inclusive community center open to anyone, with the goal of integrating Muslim-Americans into U.S. society. "We have been humbled by Imam Adhami's contributions to this project over the past few months," said Park51 President Sharif El-Gamal. "We look forward to him, God willing, leading prayers informally for Park51 in the near future." His departure is the latest in a string of setbacks after former Imam, Feisal Abdul Rauf, was given a reduced role in the center. Rauf remains on the board of the community center. |

Are we sure this guy's a muslim? He sounds more like an evangelical christian to me.
Same thing.
God is imaginary. Belief in god is delusional. Delusional people frequently do bad things. These bad things slow human progress. We can live better lives without delusion. It all begins by acknowledging that god is imaginary.
Excellent.
Brothers and Sisters in Humanity – Please never forget:
RELIGIONS DO NOT KILL PEOPLE,
PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE.
Thanks
Well said
People with religious beliefs kill people. If it weren't for those beliefs, they wouldn't dare.
big difference between Christianity and Islam - Christian behavior has evolved from violent past in the name of Christianity (Crusades, inquisitions, etc). while Islam STILL condons and practices 14th century barbaric behavior To THIS DAY: Video'd beheadings (Daniel Pearl and others) and executions, throwing crippled old men overboard a cruise ship, honor killings of wives and daughters. remember headlines just last month: Educated, successful Muslim male beheads wife in NYC (she dared to file for divorce after multiple police reports of physical abuse).
the NEW Testament teaches forgiveness and mercy and tolerance of differences. Koran writings teach the total subjugation or killing all infidels aka non-Muslims, or even Muslims who dont agree w/extremists' views.
The violence hasn't gone away. Now they kill with words instead of swords, axes and fire. How many young people today commit suicide over what they hear from the pulpit? It's a disgrace in this day and age.
In fact, it can be argued that Islam is sliding backwards. No signs of evolution in the Middle East, no sir.
Who cares what the Quran says and does not say? Islam, like most religions, should not be used to justify anything. Islam has yet to undergo a reformation, an enlightenment. In fact, many of their teachings are anti-enlightenment, they do not want to become "defiled and secular" like the West. OMG Muslims shut up and leave me alone
So much blood has been shed by the Church because of an omission from the Gospel:
Ye shall be indifferent as to what your neighbor's religion is. Not merely tolerant of it,
but indifferent to it. Divinity is claimed for many religions; but no religion is great enough
or divine enough to add that new law to its code. - Mark Twain
The difference between Islam and other major religions is based upon their founders lifestyles. Muhammad "cursed be his name" was a warrior, not just a philosopher.
Read his manifesto "quran" and you will notice it says stuff like "allah wants the heads removed of all non believers" and "if you are friends with a Jew your punishments will be the same as theirs" and "if your wife acts highhanded (mind of her own) you must beat her until she agrees with you" and I could go on and on and on.
A dedicated Muslim can be charming, but the truth is they are truly bad wolves in sheep's clothing!
Looks like you didn't "read the quran" HAHAHAHHAHA get it, its in his name. Ok
I did, you want the passages I'm referring to bud?
Read the chapter "sura" again, till then let the grown ups.talk kid!
Anyone can pull psycho stuff out of either book. I suppose you stone your children for dissing you? Pull your head out. Both books were written by heatstroked desert people trying to take control of people from kings they didn't agree with
Readthekoran, Your knowledge of Quran is lacking. Fortunately, Everything you mentioned above is inaccurate. May the Lord of the universe shine His light on you.
Sura (4)34
“Men are the vigilant custodians of women, because of what Allah has endowed upon the one over the other, in that they spend from their means. Thus are those women righteous and devout, and protective in absentia over what Allahas deemed to be secure. As for those from whom you fear insolence, (first) edify them, (second) abstain from laying together with them, (lastly) beat them. However, if they seek reconciliation, do not be hostile against them. Verily, Allah is the Exalted the Great.”
5:51 O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends: They are but friends to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust.
This one is just weird?!?!
5:60 Then say: "Should I inform you [People of the Book] of those, who will have even worse recompense from Allah than the transgressors? They are those whom Allah has cursed; who have been under His wrath; some of whom were turned into apes and swine; who worshipped taghut [the devil or idols]; those are the people who are in a far worse plight and who have turned farthest away from the Right Way." (Maududi)

And He brought down (the ones) of the population of the Book (Or: Family of the Book, i.e., the Jews and christians) who backed them from their bastions, and hurled horror in their hearts; a group you killed and (another) group you (made) captive.
Ok do you want the quran passages about beheading non believers?
The quran, unlike other religious books, mentions the other religions by name condoning hatred and violence specifically against Jews and Christians and non believers
"Read his manifesto "quran" and you will notice it says stuff like "allah wants the heads removed of all non believers" " – And if that was true, then there wouldn't be such a term as "People of the Book," or the dhimmi taxes established in the medieval eras
Sura 8:12 in the quran clearly states to behead non-believers, why do you think its such a common terrorist tactic! Kickmybutte ha! Not today son! Isa gota me soma facts! Ohyeah!
True christians love their enemies. They don't kill'em/// if you allow Christ to take away your sin u will b a new creature
Marlin the doctrine of vicarious redemption (the idea that someone else can suffer and die for some evil that you may or may not have done) is both impossible and immoral. Let go of this perverted idea, and take responsibility for your own salvation. If Jesus existed (and that is not a given since his name means 'salvation,' he's probably an allegorical character), and if the stories about his visit to Jerusalem early in the reign of Pontius Pilate are true, he died because he was an anti-Roman insurgent, probably involved in a Zealot uprising over the use of the Temple treasury to finance the construction of an aqueduct. Read the Gospel of Mark. The uprising is mentioned in passing. Ever wonder about that? Probably not.
Wow... who out there remembers when there was a fence running up the middle of that street- just after 9/11?
I could care less about the mosque. There will be a lot of excitement about it (good and bad) but in the end it will matter for nothing.
I just hope nothing happens to the fantastic Dakota Roadhouse next door – that place was a safe harbor for many Ground Zero construction workers. And has always been a great place to go for a burger and a beer.
Andy kept us all going during the clean up. A place to eat and take a nap
Did Joe just say that tens and hundreds of thounsands have been killed in clinic bombings? Or was it a disingenuous attempt to lump one modern thing (clinic bombings) with a bunch of others century old things, and consider them all equivalent. This is getting pathetic. All things are not the same. Islam and Chrsitianity are different. I personally don't follow either religion, but to compare the inquisition to modern terrorism is silly.
So shall we now list the thousands and thousands of killings that those in the name of Christianity have committed and in some place in the world continue to commit?
Shall we now go on and on about the child molesting that go on within the Catholic Church?
Seriously, the world is a screwed up place with many upon many who use religion to control, to manipulate and to justify and doing horrible things. All persons who use religion for violence and not part of that religion. They are imposters.
Well put. I agree.
Their are idiots in all religions, but the reason why there are so many modern muslim idiots is the qurans writings. Other religions have evolved but the Muslims can't unless they get a new holy book!
I, Lee Majors, approve of this story.
Rodney king did it
Making a judgement about a faith, be it Christianity or Islam, on the basis of a few extremists has about the same logical errancy as saying evolution is false because Hitler's murderous race purification rampage was fueled by his study of Darwin's theory, a truth written by Hitler himself. Similarly, you can't affirm the truth of a faith by how much good its proponents do. There have thousands of selfless Christians, Muslims, and atheists in our history. The truth of God doesn't lie in how much good or bad others do, but in your inward examination of your relationship with God, the good you know you can't do without God, and the bad you know you would do without Him.
A terrorist is not an extremist but a good Muslim who follows the quran, read it and see!
After reading about three dozen books on the subject by college and seminary professors, I think I can make a pretty sound judgement. Religion is useless nonsense. Anyne who thinks that it is useful or true in any way is delusional, and should do the research.
World War I, World War II, Mongols, Civil War, Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Vietnam, Barbary Wars, Culture Revolution—great travesties of mankind. Neither the less, these wars were not fought over religion. Actually, most of them were fought by Atheists.
Islam calls on followers to govern by religion. That turned into Shariah law. No other modern-day religion teaches people to kill the non-believers so that they can expand their religious law to all. Jihad is our enemy.
Howzabout a billion extremists?
@readthequran Better yet, read a good biography of the Prophet (pbuh) first. I highly recommend "The Sealed Nectar" or "Muhammad: His life based on the earliest sources". Even Karen Armstrong's book is acceptable. This will give you the necessary background by which to understand the context of the Qur'an. Because as we all know, or at least should know, proof texting without proper context is not only pointless, it's dishonest.
It does not matter the context the quran was written in, because mentality disturbed Muslims take its hateful passages against Jews and Christians at face value.
Even if there were wars going on, what context would justify Muhammad telling Muslims to beat their wives for disagreeing with them. Can anyone explain this?
To answer your question:
Muhammad is not "telling his followers to beat their wives".
Muhammaed is "ALLOWING his followers to beat their wives" in case of a serious disagreement arises between the couple.
While to someone immature like you, this may sound the same, but when you do grow up, get married and by some odd, but unlikely chance are able to stay married for more than 20 years, you will appreciate what Muhammad said a lot more than you do now as an immature inexperienced and I assume young person.
Marriage is tough, most marriages in the christian world fail, to the point that most people do not even get married anymore. In Islamic culture, marriage is one of the foundations of society. Without marriage, the social fabric of the community falls apart
quickly. Sin reigns and people gravitate towards evil (see christiandom today for prime example).
With this in mind, Muhammad (or God as Muslims would claim) felt it better to "beat your wife" in the heat of the moment, then to break up your marriage and cause bigger harm to both parties. A slap or a twisting of the arm in anger against your spouse is much better as an outlet for anger, then a harsh word or throwing someone out of the house literally.
This is the Islamic position, and this is the islamic way of safeguarding marriages. A wife can recover from physical abuse, most husbands are not serial abusers anyway, but harsh words and broken marriage are much worse, and divorced women suffer much more in comparison than a once or twice abused spouse does in comparison.
Wasn't this dude covered by Barack Hussein Obama's, blessed be his name, DADT? After all, this is The Obama Victory Mosque at Ground Zero. What happened?
Didnt take long for the Repubs to link this to Obama...no suprise in your desperation.
DADT is the military. Obama doesn't own or influence the real estate use in Brooklyn, the local borough does and THEY approved it.
Idiocy IS squarely yours and you are welcome to it, Descardo.
@Openminded. I agree with you. I see nothing but Hate coming from our Enemies, and I'm done being put down and critiqued for my beliefs. Since they have said infidels and Jews must die, and it's us or them, so be it.
Enough is enough. Well said Reality. If Muslims can teach hate, murder, stoning, whipping and racism, turn the Racist, Nazis and Klan loose as well.
openminded. sadly, your post doesnt even make enough sense to refute......
Incoherent post is incoherent.
Half of Pakistan would want most of us to be put to death for blasphemy! Am I the only one who follows the world? Well other then openminded
Whatever happened to loyalty to a parish or the Islamic equivalent? Did the water get a little hot for the Iman?
Happy Trails, Imam 'Liability.' Welcome to the great American tradition of putting your foot in your piehole...
Great AMERICAN tradition? Nope, we have no corner on the market of the open mouth, insert foot and chew.
Consider the Italian PM. France's politicians. Oh, the examples are endless.
It's a human thing.
The earth is not flat and there is no god – wake up people....
JIRI where is the bible does it talk about a flat earth???? Go read Genesis again.
Neither the Bible nor the Qur'an say that the Earth is flat. The Qur'an actually goes as far as to say it's spherical and in an orbit.
Genesis is a bunch of BS just like the rest of the bible
@ W247: Please let's not pretend that many many people responsible for writing your Bible did not understand the world to be flat.
Um, the BIBLE talks about the world as being a sphere and it was written a couple thousand years ago when people were POSITIVE the world was flat. Just one of hundreds of phophecies that have come true of course, not one has failed in fact. It's that many people have an opinion about the bible yet have not read it and never took the time to understand and reason on it, lol. Now that's stupidity. Let's pretend it's not real, that must mean we're not accountable and can think and do as we please. SORRY, ignorance is never an excuse.
Liars Xugod and WD247 would like to pretend that religion throughout its destructive history has not been bitterly opposed to, denying, and suppressing any science that conflicted with its BS credo. They will tell you Galileo was never arrested, tried, and imprisonedf for verifying earlier theories that the earth revolved around the sun rather than, as religion claimed, being the center of the universe itself. No – he was merely given room and board and a quiet workspace to further his research! And they will deny that Dubya in servitude to his tax-dodging ministers and religious backers murdered and foisted needless suffering on thousands of afflicted taxpaying Americans by banning government funding for breakthrough embryonic stem cell research. Until education and factual revelations debunk and eliminate organized religion once and for all, at least make it pay its fair share of the tax burden.
The earth is flat. We live in a hologram. The universe is a plane.
The presumption in Jiri's statement isn't that the bible says the world is flat, it is that the majority of the world believed so until it was disputed w/ evidence, and that "religion" would follow in the same fashion. Just sayin...
I thought Phil Collins was the lead singer for Genisis..... Oh wait you are not being funny ... Oh well.... I think that you are a bunch of BS as well NyteShayde....
there are 2 things iam not sure of the world is not flat and there is no god. but i no for sure there is no JIRI
†: the real word.
"The earth is not flat." Then, W247 gets defensive and asks where in the bible it says this, though the author said nothing about any bible. The point is: reality is more important than living with delusion. Oh, and by the way, god is imaginary and belief in god is delusional.
@W247: And where in the bible does it explain the structure of the universe? Plate tectonics? Atomic particles? DNA?
W247 is correct. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that the Earth is flat, although that was an accepted fact in the Bronze Age. It did say that the Earth was created 6,000 years ago, a man lived in a whale, Noah took two of every animal on the planet and put 'em in an ark. If the Bible is the work of God, then we've got a massive conspiracy amongst the world's scientific community.
@reality: really? who gave you the authority to dictate what a religion is about?? I respect all religions so please don't categorize Islam with violence..it is rhetoric of this sort that confuses the dumfounded...
I couldn't agree with you more, LuvBug. KILL THE INFIDELS!
do you respect all religions that you define as a religion? or do you respect all religions that anyone defines to themselves as a religion? (even if the religion they define to themselves is not on your list of religions?)
Sigh, who cares, I don't care what you believe, or what anybody else believes, wants or does. If you try to hurt me, or force your ways on me, I will hurt you, it's that plain and simple. Other than that, do as you wish, you want to serve a false god, do it, you want to believe in no god, believe it, just everybody shut up about your stupid beliefs, neither side can prove crap.
Religion is a mental disorder and a disease
@Brad - I agree with at least one of your crotchety points, "neither side (believer / non-believer) can prove crap" - there's some truth in that statement to be sure. But what I got a kick out of was you pontificating about how you don't care about what people believe, but then you felt compelled to share what you believe and expected folks to read it. The best part is that you're whining about reading about peoples beliefs on CNN's "Belief Blog". Really? What's wrong with this picture? Take your time, it's like finding Waldo. It will come to you if you relax and don't try too hard.
Islam is violent. Period. Close quotes. End of story.
You "respect all religions." I disrespect those that are based on the delusion of an imaginary god. The delusion that there is a god is the cause of suffering, not an end to it. Only when people can outgrow the need for imaginary gods will society progress and all people's lives improve.
Does anyone study religious history? Apparently not!! Only thing wrong with religion is that it was created by man to control man!!! I encourage everyone to google there history and fact check from books besides the bible( written by man). There is sooooo much more proof that religion is a farce then there is supporting the fables in your book of Mormons, old testaments, new testaments and Quran!!! It's funny how most all those books were written by men in different time periods, and yet there stories all go back and match those of the ancient Egyptians. Plagerism?!!!!!
Someday, Islam will morph into what Christianity is today – a moderate religion that focuses on morality rather than rituals.
sri,
no religion is moderate when it makes the distinction between THEM and US.
Are you kidding? Moderates. I wish there were more off them. Modern day "fundamentalist" Christians are anything but. The hate that is spewed in American religion is second to none.
Rituals lol. Sorry I didn't realize transubstantiation didn't count.
So, Jeff, you are some kind of authority on the evangelical church in America.......exactly why?
dont hold your breath, sri, you'll turn blue!
When will Christianity morph into that?
Someday all religion will be understood as useless nonsense.
Is this part of the problem?
When a single person declares this is what Christianity (or Islam or Hindu or Jewish or Agnostic) IS.
Bumper Sticker Religion to describe 2 1/2 Billion (with a B) people.
Christianity is good . . . , it is also great, bad, terrible, neutral, and many other things.
The world is a very complex place.
We need to celebrate the good parts and work to change the bad parts of ALL faiths.
Tax these enormous, ornate, arrogant churches, mosques, synagogues as the commercial real estate they are and finally let them approach offsetting the horrendously inordinate burden they place on the infrastructure and staffing of our strapped communities.
Yep! Like the Roman Catholic church, who promote morality over altar boys...
It's pretty much there already, out of 1.6 billion Muslims, the problems we've had is obviously a minority.
8/10. Now THIS is quality troll work. Not too over the top. Not too inflammatory. But still comically wrong-headed enough to make people stop what they're doing to respond. The only things stopping it from gaining elite level are the lack of poorly-sourced statistics and brevity. I suggest a reference to a thread on answeringgenesis.org, and the addition of a quote. If you can incorrectly identify the source of the quote, that's just icing. Still, well done.
Jill, next you will say that Tansubstantiation is really Ritual Cannibalism.... LOL Transubstantiation is not a Ritual but rather a belief... The pocess of the blessing invoked is a ritual .... but not the belief. Most of us have rituals.... baseball players when they come to the plate comes to mind.....
Islam needs a Martin Luther, but remember, his impact took hundreds of years to bear fruit. During out lifetimes, we must deal with the Jihad driven by Islam as a fact.
you are sooooo WRONG.
That is a joke right?
Jesus is the way. And there is no other. We can't never stop talking about jesus if we do the rocks wil praise him cuz all thing. Belong to him like or not at the name of jesus everyone will kneel...
Crack is Whack Sri !!! this guy!! Islam is a Fascist Theocracy and will not allow its people to change. Besides Religion is a mental disorder and a disease. I hope a thousand years from now there is no religion. It separates so many people. So many Ignorant Zealots with no direction.
And in the meantime? Do we have to watch the world burn while Muslims catch up to the rest of evolved civilization?
@Sri You can't have content without form, but form without content is meaningless. In Islam we have form, but we also have Ihsan, which provides the content.
People speak of "morality" as if is a good thing. Morality is relative to a value system, but religious values are based on the delusion of an imaginary god. And Islam morality is a bit too harsh for many people. Better than morals are ethics.
@Mark Yelka "imaginary God" is simply an expression of faith, just as "there is no god but God" is an expression of faith. Ethics can follow a certain philosophy, but then morals are ontological, which itself is a philosophy. So in my estimation, your post is no more or less 'relative' than the ones offered by God-fearing persons.
Jeff:you are spot on. Outside of our borders, American Fundamentalist Christians are looked upon in the same way some US citizens view radical Islamic followers. They are dangerous and not at all conducive to a society of people working together for the good of ALL regardless of religious belief.
I hope u rite,,the way its goin & spreadin all over...the radicals r on the forefront as always...either believe in allah or git ur head chopped off...no reasonin...only fear rules...the cause for its success..
As that famous Muslim thinker, Al Jolson would say;
Al Jolson would say;
"Imammi
mammi
I'd walk a million miles
for one of your smiles
my mammi"
@iac249 No, faith is not required to say "god is imaginary." That statement is a result falls out from the fact that the various gods are mutually exclusive. Do you think Thor is imaginary? Yes. Zeus? Yes. The sun god Ra? Yes. It requires no faith to say 1 does not equal 0. And, if god is not imaginary, then where is god. Conveniently absent. And, people have all sorts of excuses why god is absent. But, the answer is the same as why Thor, Zeus, and Ra are absent: god is imaginary.
Okay, but there is a lot of Christian-inspired violence happening around the world to this day. You have extremist outliers in the United States (like Dr. Tiller), but most of this violence happens in poor parts of the world, like Africa. Poverty is not a good condition for security.
I agree, wouldn't it be wonderful................................................
Amen.
Humanity is the major religion in which we all have been enrolled since birth but dilemma is that a great percentage of us don't practice it and deny other humans their rights as human beings.
@Mark Just because one or all faiths may have the wrong name or concept of God does not necessarily follow that "God is imaginary" is a scientific fact. Given the a priori definition of science, that it can only describe observable, empirical facts, "God is imaginary" is necessarily a statement of faith. However, philosophy and logic could be used to at least refute the notions of some religions, it remains that "there is no God" cannot be proven scientifically. Hence, it is a statement of faith.

now i don't know about you but Jesus and his sermon on the mound and other examples in the bible sound nothing like this.
Give me a break! Fundie Christians aren't murdering people like Islam has and continues to do all over the world. Millions of deaths. Africa is nearly destroyed. However, America became the greatest nation on earth wearing the mantle of Christianity!
What does Anderson Cooper say about this?
Who cares what the thinks on this subject?
Andy's preoccupied trying not to have his ass handed to him in Egypt.
He's asking for a steak for his eye.
Apparently, you've not noticed he's stuck in Egypt ducking pro Mubarak thugs who have already beaten on him twice.
Don't be disrespecting Andy.
Anderson Cooper is so awesome he can count to infinite.
I'm not sure your getting what he's trying to point out. There are rumors that Anderson Cooper is gay. He's trying to say that Anderson Cooper should give his opinion, on this situation because of these rumors. Though I'm unsure if CNN will post this because I pointed this out.
@RENNA - Those are not just rumors. Anderson Cooper is gay. He is terrific, and he is gay. There is nothing wrong with that. If people have not realized that, then I hope that when they do, they also realize that he is the same super person they loved before they found out. It doesn't change who he is. It IS who he is.
What?!! Anderson Cooper is gay? When did that happen?
That's funny – Anderson doesn't KISS like he's gay...
What will he say while wearing a tight tee-shirt....
@Criminy: Well, I don't want to speculate since he hasn't come out and said, "I'm gay." There are pics of him with a guy on celebrity gossip websites, and they say that guy is his boyfriend, but sometimes they just make up stories. There aren't any pics of them kissing each other. Just the two of them walking around together. Anderson Cooper is the same awesome person if he is gay, or isn't. I still like his show and hope he stays safe in Egypt. It doesn't matter who you identify as, if you're a good person, you're still a good person.
Anderson Copper isn't gay .. but his boyfriend is.
