Now then if Sufism didn't originate with the anti-mystic, monk hating militant Mohammed where then did it come from? There are two possibilities: Either it grew out of Islam flower-like from the mud of Mohammad's crude teachings-bringing to perfection what he planted and began in the Koran; or it came from outside Islam.

The theory of evolution for the development of Sufism, of a centuries’ long process that refined Mohammed's violent, hate-filled, bellicose teachings of blood, war and conquest into a pure spiritual doctrine of inner jihad, conquering oneself in the glory of self-realization and "divine union," is unfathomable to me. No one, and I mean no one, has been able to convincingly connect these dots-made impossible by the fact that they are light years apart.

Imagine for a moment centuries from now someone taking Hitler's Mein Kampf and finding deep spiritual meanings in it and developing a mystical philosophy with meditation techniques, ecstatic dancing and chants (Mohammed disliked dancing) promising supreme spiritual enlightenment and inner peace as the end and aim of Nazism. It would be laughable! And so is it with the deceptive, toxic, evil Koran-written by a would be messiah and world conquer like Hitler (a delusional utopian of boundless political aims) justly called by Winston Churchill "the Mein Kampf of war."

Most likely Sufism predated Islam by many centuries being the gnostic spirituality practiced by the pagan mystics Islam had conquered: Hindus, Buddhists, the Zoroastrian Magi of Persia, etc. That is my theory also shared by G.I. Gurdjieff a cruel Russian mystic who studied with Sufis in the East and like Pir Vilayat Khan (a better more ethical man) severed Sufism from Islam.

Khan's and Gurdjieff's Sufism was the pure, genuine, unsullied doctrine practiced before the darkness and terror of Islam engulfed the Middle East forcing pagans to convert or die. To survive persecution from Moslem fanatics and supremacists Hindu, Buddhist and Persian mystics joined the new faith concealing their mystical heritage under its veil-cloaking their secret doctrines in the Koran, Islamic law and ritual practice.

Over time Sufism and Islam coalesced and became indistinguishable with Sufis making the claim that their teachings ultimately came from Mohammed who received them directly from God with the giving of the Koran while in a trance. The mysteries of Sufism, so this story goes, were covertly transmitted by Mohammed to his closest disciples as an esoteric teaching-a “wisdom tradition“-for the gifted few existing secretly alongside Islam's religious practices for the many. In fact, Sufis taught that Mohammed encrypted these secret teachings in the Koran which could only be explicated and divined by enlightened Sufi scholars and jurists. This is a total sham.

In a word, the Sufis in time subordinated their mystical teachings to normative Islam and Mohammad's imperial vision of conquering the world by force and subterfuge. Indeed, many Sufis like the renowned Al Ghazali* became zealots for the faith combining their inner spiritual struggles with sin and ignorance (inner jihad) with the outer struggle or jihad for world dominion and rule: Allah's divine plan for unlimited political expansion and conquest of mankind by sword and non-violent subversion (stealth jihad).

Sharia Islam is the religion of NO to practically everything non-Islamic and infidel. It is the intolerant negation and abrogation of American values and ideals which it contradicts and seeks to overthrow at every turn. It is a blueprint for political and social regression, a reversion back to pre-modern times where millions of Moslems still dwell in squalor, filth, degradation, oppression and misery; where deceptive, lying, scheming Imams like Feisal Rauf want to take this country and the world. America can only be truly free and divinely saved when it's shackled in Moslem chains. This is Feisal Rauf’s diabolical creed*. To this evil end he devotes his life and being and mosque of deceit at Ground Zero.

When Imam Feisal deceptively says that his Ground Zero mosque represents "hope rising from the ashes of tragedy" to rebuild "a broken community" what he really means by “tragedy” is the setback suffered by deceitful jihadists like himself-the Saudi Wahabis and Egyptian Moslem Brothers-when al-Qaida struck on 9/11. The purpose of Feisal’s project is to repair the damage done by al-Qaida to the agenda and master plan of subversion and victory in Islamizing America without the sword*. When Feisal claims that his mission is to “prevent the next 9/11” he means it. For every domestic terror strike in Allah’s name is a blow to his cause. Bin Ladin wants to defeat us all at once with devastating bombing attacks causing mass destruction, terror and death; he holds Mohammad’s sword in his hand and will use it whenever he can to kill as many as possible. Soft jihadists like Rauf, on the other hand, do it subtly, astutely peacefully; holding the Koran in one hand they build with the other a cultural center with a gym, theater, art classes and swimming pool for Moslems and unbelievers to romp in-to trick the unwary into believing that Islamic culture is harmless and good, differing little from American culture, respectful of our democratic values and fondness for theater, sports, arts and physical fitness. Look at Ahmad swimming, playing basketball, painting and going to see Shakespearian plays. Ahmad and Islam are very American. Very mainstream and middle class. Very 21st century and modern. That's what the cunning Raufs of the world want us to believe. That’s the big lie they promote.

Given the reality of Imam Rauf’s soft Jihadi-Sufism, its wicked Islamist aims and war by peaceful and political means, it’s important that we stop construction of this mosque before it desecrates Ground Zero and dishonors the memory of the policemen and firemen who sacrificed their lives to save the thousands who died*. This mosque is an anti-American, anti-Western abomination fostering religious tyranny in all its crimes, oppression and inhumanity. It’s a cruel insult and affront to the 9/11 victims and their families and all patriotic, freedom loving Americans who believe in separation of Church and State and religious liberty.
