SCRUBBING GOING ON AT CORDOBA INITIATIVE WEBSITE?

The timing is indeed suspicious. On the heels of Barack Obama's endorsement of at least the right of the Cordoba Initiative - mosque at ground zero project headed by Feisal Abdul Rauf - we now have some curious things happening at Rauf's website. In addition to Obama's comments putting the issue even more prominently on the national stage, he also found himself having to backtrack the next day in an attempt to clarify his statements.

The Rosett Report over at Pajamas Media reveals another interesting development. Shortly after Obama's words at the Ramadan dinner celebrated at the White House, the Cordoba Initiative website as of this writing says "website is currently under construction".

Friday evening, after Obama gave his de facto endorsement to Rauf’s Cordoba/Park 51 Ground Zero mosque and Islamic center project, I took another look at the morphing Cordoba Initiative web site, and discovered it now has a note on the main page saying “Website is currently under construction.” (Grab your screenshots now — parts of this site are already sliding down the Memory Hole).

What’s going on? Why the vanishings of the Malaysian address, the Rauf-Larijani Iranian connection photo, and the elusive Imam Feisal himself? Have either Obama or Bloomberg made even the smallest effort to inquire about what use will be made, or by whom, of these de facto endorsements they are handing out?

Rosett also reports that an extremely questionable photo of Rauf with an Iranian official. It is simply not believable that Obama is not aware of these things. Yet, he dismisses them while endorsing Rauf's right to build the mosque. Then again, Obama wasn't vetted in order to become president. Perhaps he doesn't believe a radical Imam should be vetted either.

The name of the mosque has been changed from "Cordoba House" to "Park 51"; the website for the project appears to be getting scrubbed; and the whereabouts of Rauf during his trip are not being revealed by the State Department, which is funding him.

By letting Americans know where he stands on whether the mosque should be allowed to proceed, Obama is admitting to knowingly putting this country in danger.

This is a big deal - a very big deal.
